Goldmine Grading Guide © Goldmine magazine:

Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint/Excellent [NM,EX]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.

Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon. Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.

I usually set my auctions to end on days and times that I know I will be home in order to pack and ship your item promptly (sometimes within minutes of the end of an auction!). Buyers who pay later than 24 hours after the end of an auction may see a delay in the shipping of their items as a result. No items will be sent until payment is received.

All of my items are sold as is with no returns, although I will certainly correct any mistakes I have made on my end (ie: you bid on a red shirt and I sent you a blue one) or if there has been some obvious glaring error or oversight on my end in terms of condition of an item.

PLEASE NOTE: I acquire my items via auctions, estate sales, yard sales, thrift shops, picking and private sellers.

While I do not smoke and take very good care of the items I list while in my care, I can not guarantee that they didn't come from smoking households, pet owners or that some items haven't picked up a musty smell from a basement, etc.

I understand that some buyers may be more sensitive or even allergic to some of these scents and wanted to make it very clear to them that I am NOT guaranteeing ANY of my items, used or new, have not been in a smoke or pet free environment prior to my listing them.

I DO clean most of what I list (the exceptions being old coins, jewelry or any item that should not be cleaned usually) - I launder clothing, I sanitize toys, I wipe off any obvious mildew and/or dust, etc.

That all said - I will NOT offer a refund for items based only upon their scent. If you are sensitive or allergic, PLEASE feel free to contact me (especially in regards to older items or paper) and ask me about any item I have listed for sale. I will be glad to inspect the item more closely for you.  Thank you for your understanding on this issue.

I always leave Feedback for my buyers. Please do the same for me.

A request here as well - should you feel as though you have an issue with an item you received from me, contact me and tell me so BEFORE you leave feedback (negative or positive). I'm an e-mail away and I want ALL of my buyers to be satisfied and usually will go out of my way to make that so.

If you decide to leave me negative or even neutral feedback WITHOUT messaging me or attempting to resolve the issue, you agree to forfeit any and all requests for refunds, discounts or replacements of the item(s) in question.

Thank you again for your interest and bid(s)!
