Thanks for your interest!

 

REGARDING ALL ITEMS:

 

PACKAGING:

All of my items, regardless of format, are first wrapped in a plastic liner to protect against liquids, then wrapped in cushioning material (that is, if appropriate for the item) to protect against shocks, and finally placed in cardboard (or a cardboard box) to protect against punctures and sharp objects.

 

SHIPPING:

Sorry for the inconvenience in advance, but I add USPS Signature Confirmation to all U.S. orders over $75.  This extra service is at my expense.

 

ISSUES: I am confident you will be 100% happy with this sale.  However, none of us are perfect, so if you are unhappy in any way with your product, please reach out to me BEFORE leaving negative or neutral feedback. I will always try my best to correct any mistakes I might make!

 REGARDING VINYL:

 

GRADING:

If you are new to vinyl collecting, please independently research the definitions used by the Goldmine grading system before purchasing from me, since my goal is to conform to this standard.  From best to worst condition, the grades I use are:

 

NM (Near Mint),

VG+ (Very Good Plus),

VG (Very Good),

G+ (Good Plus),

G (Good),

F (Fair),

P (Poor). 

I do not use the Goldmine grades Mint (M) or Excellent (EX, or VG++). 

 

As you can see, "Good" and "Fair" are not as "Good" or "Fair" as you may have expected!

 

Sometimes I may not be able to play test your record and will need to solely make a visual grade.  I make all visual grades by angling the record slowly under a 500-watt halogen light.

 

PLAY TESTING AND CLEANING:

Please assume the record has not been play tested or cleaned unless explicitly stated in the description. I sometimes may test isolated passages , e.g. to test surface noise, but this should not be construed as my having play tested the media in its entirety, unless explicitly stated in my comments. 

I sometimes clean the discs I sell, but this is at my sole discretion, so please do not expect your discs to be professionally cleaned.

 

PACKAGING:

For vinyl, I will remove the record with its inner sleeve from the outer sleeve to eliminate danger of seam splits during shipping. I will not do this for box sets since the vinyl is already protected.  However, custom inner sleeves (i.e., showing photos, lyrics, artwork, etc.) need to be similarly protected.  In these cases, before shipping I will remove the record from that custom inner sleeve and place it in a separate generic sleeve.  If a box set contains custom inner sleeves, I will follow the procedure above and place all materials back into the box case.

Thanks for reading!
