SATISFACTION:

I do my best to grade accurately.  My seller feedback is almost entirely positive (except for a couple crazy dudes that chose to slam me instead of asking for  their cash back - go figure.) If you are unhappy with the condition of the record please contact me BEFORE leaving negative feedback.  If you return the record I will refund what you paid (minus shipping).


HAPPY BIDDING!!!!
