I will answer all inquiries in a timely fashion IF the
answers are not listed below. Pictures are part of the
description.
We are all human.
If I make a mistake, please alert me and I'll make it right.
There is never any ill intent on my
part.
Any issues, just let me know and I
will work with you to resolve it.
Payment must be made within 4 days of auction end, or I
will cancel, send non-paying feedback, and relist...unless you communicate with
me, then I will be very patient.

Packing, Shipping, and Combined Discounts
US PayPal Media Mail only. I pack and ship with
thoughtfulness at least four times a week.
$6 for the first record, then $1 each additional in the
same week on shipping (it should auto calculate that discount, but if you see
an issue, please let me know.)
All used LPs are VPI cleaned, all new LPs are kept sealed
unless directed otherwise.
I use all new materials. Every record will get a
new outer 3 mil sleeve and anti-static inners if the originals are missing.
I will pack the vinyl outside of the sleeve
unless directed otherwise.
Every package has a "Fragile, handle with care"
sticker and a "Keep away from heat" sticker.
Most mailers will be your standard white LP mailer with
the record sandwiched between two cardboard record stiffeners. Combined
orders over $100 will get an upgrade to a Whiplash Mailer.

Grading
I try to grade very conservatively.
I use the Goldmine grading standard.
If you are unfamiliar with that, please see
below, where I've cited the three most common ratings used (EX, VG+, VG).
If I rate a vinyl VG, and you receive it, hear background
noise, and question the quality, I will point you back to this standard.
Goldmine Grading Standard
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) OR EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ Record is, except for a
couple of minor things, this would be Near Mint.
Most collectors, especially those who want to play their
records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it is toward the high
end of the grade, (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including
light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening
experience. Slight warps that don't affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of
handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, so long as
repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear
or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ Covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might
have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the
bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing,
such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered
Near Mint.
VERY GOOD (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ Record are more
obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records, which usually sell for no more
than 25 percent of a an NM record, are among the biggest bargains in record
collecting, because most of the big money goes for more perfect copies. For
many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.
VG records have more obvious flaws than their
counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on
factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches
deep enough to feel with a fingernail.
When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some
scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro
and ending. But the noise won't overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing,
tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have
jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine
listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs on human handling. Ring
wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover, where the edge of a record
would reside, is obvious; it may appear on all three sides, thought it won't be
obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag
on it, too.

About Me
Hello friends,
I have been mostly buying and occasionally selling vinyl
for over 25 years. I've received nothing but positive feedback over
thousands of transactions over that time, never a negative piece of feedback
(knock on wood.) If you ever have an issue, I will always work with you
to reach an amicable settlement. No questions asked on any returns,
etc. (I have a less than 1% return rate, BTW.) We recently moved,
and the magnitude of my collection really hit me - I'm collecting and not
enjoying. So, it's time to start enjoying again, and shedding off either
duplicates or items that don't bring me particular joy. So, please bid
with confidence and know that you are buying from a true vinyl lover like
you. Check my other postings, I will try to be clear and
transparent. Thank you!
Returns Accepted for this item if it's within 30 Days
