Because of the current "stay at home policy" and travel restrictions I will be visiting my Post Office to ship my parcels only two days a week, Tuesday and Friday. This will remain in effect until the pandemic crisis is under control. Please, stay safe and use good judgement during these troubling times.
Two early albums by North Carolina neotraditionalist country singer, songwriter and actor Randy Travis. Both are original issues. Visually graded vinyl is vg+ and near mint with clean labels. Covers are clean vg+ and near mint, one has slice and is still in shrink. Vinyl is cleaned and sleeved. Included:
1. Storms Of Life, Warner Bros. 25436 vg+
2. Old 8 x 10, Warner Bros. 25736 nm includes lyric inner sleeve
All individually listed LP's (non-lot and not sealed) are shipped with vinyl out of jacket, with both vinyl & jacket in clear poly protective cover Review photos for further consideration. Also, review shipping, grading, combined purchases and other details prior to bidding. Withhold payment until you receive my invoice. You may combine wins on most items.
Please, payments must be received within 10 days of my initial invoice providing total cost. Payments will be accepted through eBays' new managed payments system, which includes Paypal. I do not respond to requests for shipping cost (shipping cost provided within listing, just click on more services next to shipping), and I do not accept offers to close auction and sell at Buy It Now.
Currently all my sales are only through ebay auctions. I do not accept want lists or special requests. Most of my items I list are contracted with owner to sell only at auction.
COMBINED SHIPPING - MULTIPLE BIDS POLICY - PLEASE READ
If you choose to combine multiple items please wait until I forward you an invoice with adjusted shipping cost and totals prior to making payment (ignore the eBay generated invoice). I provide a 10 day period to combine items for those of you wanting to bid on additional future items. Payment for combined items must be received within 10 days of your first item purchase. Remember, shipping cost is determined by weight and destination, not number of items.
SHIPPING COSTS
DOMESTIC: Shipping cost is actual postage plus $1.00 to help defer cost of professional packaging materials and handling. I will always try to ship bulk orders the least expensive option, either Media Mail or Parcel Post, unless Priority Mail is requested. I include free delivery confirmation with each shipment.
INTERNATIONAL: I currently am doing International shipments to only Canada. Charge will be determined by weight, country and value of content. Shipping cost is actual postage plus $1 to help defer cost of professional packaging materials and handling. Withhold payment until I forward invoice.
PACKAGING
All records are professionally packaged and most are shipped in cardboard LP mailers with cardboard flats & bubble wrap. Larger bulk shipments are all shipped in new boxes designed to accommodate records and packaging. I do not skimp on packaging in order to save a few cents on shipping cost. Please do not instruct me on how to safely package vinyl.
RECORD GRADING USED LP'S
I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, superb play quality with little to no signs of visual wear and plays with little to no extraneous noise. The only records that qualify for a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, excellent play quality with minor use and little to no overall visual wear. Any minor scuffs, light surface scratches, or blemishes do not effect play and play grade may have some very minor extraneous area noise.
vg....very good, very playable, probably with some extraneous surface noise. A slightly mishandled or well used record. May have visual scratches or blemish. I generally do not auction vg albums unless they are exceptional pieces and highly sought after items. Most vg albums I will include in bulk lots.
I use standard record grading abbreviations and include cover grade within each description. I open, clean and inspect all suspect sealed older albums.
Grading is very subjective and everyone has their position on determining various grades. I stand by my grading as stated within grading details above, but there are always those who have unrealistic high expectations. Please understand that many of my vinyl records are 20 to 60 years old. In my experience I have rarely found vinyl of this vintage that, under extreme scrutiny, does not have a hairline scuff, mark, blemish or manufacturing smudge. Realistic expectations when buying vintage records should be applied. If you have a problem, contact me and explain exactly what the issue is, please don't regrade the album.
GUARANTEE
Retail music is my full time occupation. Your satisfaction is important to me. I guarantee everything I sell and will be cooperative and understanding towards any of my valued customers who genuinely feel I may have not maintained my grading standards, have overlooked a flaw or manufacturing defect, or have mistakenly misrepresented an item. Buyer must initiate return process as specified within eBay. Returned item must be received in same condition as originally shipped. I will always conduct my business in a fair, courteous and respectful manner towards all my valued customers.
