***Shipped with USPS Media Mail.

R&R Liquidators has hundreds of vinyl & antique shellac records. With dozens & dozens already listed here on eBay, and dozens more to come. We pride ourselves on the quality of the records we sell, as we are vinyl collectors, too. NO JUNK HERE! We find the grading system many use (example: M, NM, Ex, VG+, VG, VG-, G+,G, G-) to be far too vague - I mean, what’s the difference in a VG+ and a VG??!! We chose to simplify things and create our own vinyl grading system - the following details our grading system for all our loyal customers:

⭐️ ⭐️ We grade our records CONSERVATIVELY under direct light, though we do not consider ourselves to be ‘experts’ in the field of record grading. Many times, our grades are actually a step below the actual grade (ex: if we grade it VERY GOOD, it’s most likely EXCELLENT), as we realize the grading of records is subjective & varies depending on the system one chooses to use.

Our Grades:

MINT - We will never grade vinyl as MINT unless it is Factory Sealed.

NEAR MINT - Zero scratches, beautiful like-new shine & gloss, looks to have never been played & rarely removed from sleeve

EXCELLENT - A hairline scratch or two, but nothing that affects the record’s playability or causes surface noise.

VERY GOOD - Record may have hairline scratches but no scratches deep enough to cause skips. May contain some surface noise in parts

GOOD - Record has scratches, though none that cause significant skipping; surface noise exists.

**WE WILL NOT SELL ANYTHING BELOW THIS LEVEL UNLESS IT’S ANTIQUE/COLLECTIBLE. If this is the case, it will be clearly stated in the listing.

***We’ve had the good fortune of tracking down many scarce & obscure records and have several hundred 33s, 45s, and 78s that we’ve yet to list here on eBay. Send us a message if there’s a vintage record you’re trying to acquire. Who knows? We just might have it!!!
