PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. 

I strive to grade my records conservatively and fairly. I have learned over my years of selling vinyl on Ebay that it is best to be conservative, fair and honest. You are going to see the record soon, right? It's not like I can fool you, right? 

It behooves me to be accurate because there is nothing more irritating than having to pay extra money for shipping a record back to myself and losing money in the process. I have this crazy notion that I enjoy making a profit rather than a loss....

SELLING MISREPRESENTED RECORDS IS BAD KHARMA

I DO NOT WANT BAD KHARMA 

In all seriousness, I know that it is disappointing to receive a record that is not up to the description and your expectations. I generally do not sell anything below VG++ unless it super-rare.

THE STORY

I was in a thrift store over 15 years ago when I noticed a stack of records. Bob Dylan's iconic masterpiece BLONDE ON BLONDE was sitting on top and I found myself somewhat mesmerized as I glanced thru the records. There was Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Beatles,Cat Stevens and a few other classic rock records. They seemed to be in really good condition, the vinyl was relatively cleaned and looked from free from any major marks. I found myself purchasing all of them along with a cheap record player that had been donated along with all the records. I went home and set up the record player to my receiver, slipped on Blonde On Blonde and that is when THE OBSESSION began. I started going to thrift stores. estate sales, storage unit sales, secondhand stores, rummage sales, flea markets, yard sales. You name it and if there was a chance that vinyl records were going to be there then I would go and check it out. I bought tons of records over the years and wasn't even re-selling them at first. I  just collected and collected!  There is something quite magical about records. I thought that at first and I continue to do so.

 The purest form of recorded music, the highly superior sound of analog, the interactive experience of studying the cover and having to flip the record over. There is a bit more effort involved in listening to vinyl but it makes me appreciate the experience of listening to that particular record even more.

I personally do not collect records that fall below a certain threshold, and for me that is my aforementioned VG++. I do not want to damage my needle by playing a subpar record nor do I care to listen to the annoying and distracting background noise that comes along with VG+ and below.

THE GRADING

VG+ = A record that will be slightly to medium noisy in spots, but overall not noisy enough to distract from the music. There will perhaps be some surface and hairline marks, but again, not deep enough to cause a pop or tic. (MY VG+ record will have NO tics or major pops) There may be paper scuff marks on the vinyl. The original 'gloss' or shiny luster will be faded somewhat. Perhaps the label has some writing on it. This is the record that you would find at a thrift store or yard sale and be pleasantly surprised by the quality. Overall, a record worth having in your collection, a keeper. PLEASE NOTE THAT I GRADE CONSERVATIVELY. MY VG+ IS LIKELY ANOTHER DEALERS VG++ OR EXCELLENT.

VG++ = A record that will be slightly noisy in places. There will still be some original gloss or shiny luster to the vinyl. Perhaps the vinyl is excellent otherwise, but has some light noise in one specific area (which would be noted). There may be an inconsequential hairline mark  or two, and even paper scuffs from being pulled out of the sleeve. A record that holds its value and is in enviable condition. 

EXCELLENT = A record that will have most or all of its' original gloss and shine. Surface marks are superfluous and minimal. The record sounds very clean and clear and any slight noise will be short-lived and basically inconsequential. The label has no writing on it. This record is close to being near mint and earns a space on the TOP SHELF of your record collection.

NEAR MINT = A record that has been opened and played very minimally, if at all. Only about 5% of used records earn this grading. There will be noise at all and no surface marks. This record is 100% sparkling clean and glossy with superb sound. TOP SHELF.
