Seller Terms

I do combine items so you will safe on shipping charges. Each additional album shipped via Media Mail costs $1 extra. For Priority Mail and international shipments an additional album charge will be the actual shipping cost for an additional weight added to the package total weight. All gate-fold albums are counted as double albums for shipping purposes for Media Mail. All records are sent in hard cardboard packing boxes, removed from the covers to prevent seam splits and placed in protective plastic covers. Additional generic inner sleeve for transportation is provided for albums that contain already original inner sleeve with pictures or lyrics. If not satisfied with my grading return record for a full refund minus back shipping. I grade records visually and occasionally by playing the record to check for actual sound quality. I try my best in grading the albums. GRADING M only for sealed records or really in pristine condition. M- no scratches and no spindle marks very little signs of playing or handling. If there’s a cut corner or punch hole the LP can still be M-, but I will mention if it is there Excellent the record shows some signs of having been played, very superficial wear, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Plays like new but may not look perfect, some scuffs that don’t affect play, etc VG++ Plays essentially clean but may have a few spots with very minor hiss or crackle but still very little signs of playing, very little marks from spindle and minimal signs of handling. Light scratches, maybe some scuffing, the cover may have very minor ring wear or dirt, small writing or a very small seam split in the middle, but not all of those defects at the same time. VG+ handling and wear more visible, slight O-ring starts to show, light splits, spindle marks on label. The record has obviously been played many times, but displays noJa major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover plays mostly clean with some noise in the quiet areas or between songs. May have a few pops but nothing major. VG definite sings of playing some scratches, deep O-ring, seam splits, corners bent, torn covers etc. The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, Records with this grade I will describe more precisely with all flaws I can detect. As always you can ask for more info. VG- / Fair considerable surface noise, lots of pops and crackle. Cover is ragged, stained and/or defaced G The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partially missing. I do not sale albums graded less then VG-.
