IMPORTANT. READ THE FOLLOWING: This is a USED record. Past history, including cleaning, frequency of play, weight of tonearm, etc. are all UNKNOWN. All items are graded VISUALLY ONLY unless otherwise noted. THEY ARE NOT, FOR THE MOST PART, REVIEWED AURALLY. I am describing how the record LOOKS, not how it SOUNDS. Usually the sound is consistent with the appearance, but I've seen records that appear very nice but have pops, clicks, and even skips; but also records that look horrible but sound pretty decent. In some cases, there may be imperfections in the vinyl that are NOT visually apparent. (Vintage records are bound to have SOME amount of foreign sound, whether just a level of general background surface noise, or pops/clicks/etc.; mine are no exception. There may be surface unevenness that is difficult or impossible to detect unless placed on a turntable - which these LPs have NOT been by me.) In addition, I am only going to point out representative imperfections that I see. In other words, I am not going to COUNT the number of hairline marks in the vinyl, the number of edge creases on the cover, nor any minor waviness in the surface. I am not going to try to identify the presence (or absence, in the case of "new record smell") of any particular smell or odor. Most sellers also grade their records visually, but I am making it explicitly clear, so that there is no misunderstanding post-sale. This is a USED record. If it was a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment, it would be considered as found, as-is, parts or repair only. If you prefer, due to it's age you may consider it a COLLECTIBLE, rather than a piece of media expected to perform without flaws (which cheap 60's/70's/80's records never did even when they were new.) If these terms of sale are not clear, or you don't agree with them, you may wish to procure your vinyl elsewhere (but remember, this is exactly how you judge a record when you buy it from a brick-and-mortar used record store, and their return policy is exactly the same as mine. I CANNOT offer records with starting bids below $10, if I have to risk $8 in to/from shipping charges because a buyer didn't read the listing.) If there are ANY questions about this, please contact me well before the end of the auction. Your bid is indication that these terms are read and understood. If you are international, make sure you review shipping
terms.
Grading scale for all records is: NearMint (highest grade used on an opened record) / EXcellent / VG+ / VG / VG- /G. NM records show only the faintest signs of use, maybe a very faint hairline or paper slide shadows, or may appear as new. EX records may show a few more faint marks/hairlines, shadows or residue. VG+ and VG records may have light to readily visible marks, scuffs and hairlines, still decent but progressively showing more wear as you go down the scale. VG- and G records are approaching/reaching the "placeholder" category, and will have progressively more scratches and other defects as you reach the bottom grade.
HAIRLINES are very faint, short, wispy lines, usually only visible under very bright light or sunlight SHADOWS are the surface scuffs that occur when records rub against the edge of the inner sleeve. Usually only visible under bright light and when holding record at certain angles. RESIDUE is the acid etching that occurs/transfers to the record sitting against the paper inner sleeve. MARKS are minor scratches are that in most cases cannot be felt with a fingernail.
Payment
is requested within 3 days unless combining, and I will combine for up
to 1 week....just let me know. If there has been NO communication after 3
days, an unpaid item case will open.
US shipping $3.99 by Media Mail. Add'l records from other listings in same shipment $1.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS READ CAREFULLY: International
shipping is via the new Ebay Global Shipping Program. This is a good deal, as the cost is a few dollars more than First Class mail, but tracking and insurance is included. Input your country into the "shipping detail" section for rates. Ebay will provide
an invoice at end of auction. DO NOT try to circumvent this method of shipping by requesting an invoice. I WILL NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY BY ANY MEANS OTHER THAN THIS PROGRAM. THE TRANSACTION WILL BE CANCELLED. If your country is NOT part of this program, I will ONLY ship via Priority Mail INSURED, which is not cheap; probably $40 for 1 LP. Please bid ONLY if this is agreed/understood.
