Payment
Payment via Paypal.com or other acceptable methods between seller and buyer. We do require payment within 24 hours of auction end. If you'd like to pay us some other way other then Paypal.com, please contact us but payment still needs to be sent within 24 hours of auction end.
Shipping
When it comes to records and other items. We pack items to make sure they get to you safely and as described. As an example, when it comes to records, Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, we then use plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, then we cardboard pad inserts or bubble wrap or both, and records are placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.
Other items: Bubble Wrap, Bubble Wrap, Bubble Wrap and sturdy boxes. We do recycle boxes from time to time but we do so only when they are in excellent condition. We make sure you get what you paid for and fast too.
All orders must ship to confirmed Paypal.com addresses. We can accept other forms of payment but contact us before you buy as to what is acceptible.
We will combine shipping costs if you order more then one record or items if possible. We ship all items via USPS OR UPS/Fedex. Shipping and handling in the USA is calculated either by flat fee or estimated weight and is posted in our auctions. See our Ebay auction for your shipping fee.
Outside the USA / Canada / Overseas Shipping / Terms and conditions: If an item sells for more then $249.99, we require that order to ship via Express mail or Registered Mail with Return Receipt Signed. We normally ship Priority Express Air mail by estimated weight. We believe shipping Express is the safest way to get what you want. Items below $249.99 can be shipped via 1st class Overseas mail.
Handling Charge: If we charge a handling charge, it is to cover our packing materials, travel time to the post office (We drop everything on the counter for tracking purposes) and/or free insurance for your order. We normally use brand new materials for shipping your items. We pull the records from the sleeves and use a plain sleeve and then a plastic bag. Sealed records are shipped sealed.
Please give all items a chance to reach you once we post we've shipped your item. All items will post with a tracking number. We've seen overseas air items take about 4 days to 12 weeks with Express Air Mail to reach customers but we've also seen items get held up at customs and take 6 to 16 weeks also. Express is always the best way to ship something because it's recommended by the USPS to be the fastest way to receive your item.
Custom forms: We ship all items overseas with federal postal custom forms. All custom forms will contain the correct shipping information and selling price and be marked Merchandise, not gift.. Please don't ask us to adjust the selling price. We can't. Please check with your customs department if there is a fee or VAT tax for imported music items so there is no misunderstandings. You are responsible for ANY overseas fees you are charged by customs.

Grading System: Cover/Record
Records are visually graded.
Mint, SS Sealed, SS, or Mint: Is either new or still sealed.
NM Near Mint: Has very minor difference from mint. We normally grade everything near mint, even if it's mint. It's better to undergrade then overgrade.
VG++, VG+: Has been played but not a lot. Maybe some light scuffs or scratches, but no major wear or defects. Cover may have some light ring wear or minor spine wear or dings but not distracting. VG++,VG+ records should be good enough for almost any collector BUT THEY ARE NOT MINT.
VG Very good: Will have a decent amount of surface scratches and / or surface noise and / or pops & ticks, but will not be too distracting. Cover will have more wear.
G / Good: Still plays through but will not look pretty, may be noisy but should play all the way through.
F/P: Fair / Poor: I wouldn't play it but might be fun to have till a great copy comes along.
