At the time of writing I have been doing this for over 12 years, I work on my own providing one to one service and attention and understand the challenges that selling such items entail. Whilst not the biggest seller of such items I consider myself one of the best as feedback should testify.
When I sell an item I believe we have made a transaction in good faith, together, under the restraints of distance selling. Therefore, 'if' on a rare occasion a mistake is made, for example - an item arrives late, or condition is not up to expectations, I would really appreciate your full patience, consideration and assistance. Rest assured you will have my full attention so please allow me the chance to quickly and fairly sort any issue before leaving Feedback. If you or I make a mistake please be civil when messaging, try to abstain from exclamation marks and be nice, there is nothing worse than opening a message first thing in the morning to hear someone having a nervous breakdown because their £3.49 Abba Greatest Hits CD has arrived a day late. Be nice and please keep a sense of perspective - you're well covered in every scenario, - just call or write anytime you're in good hands and I will as always do my utmost to resolve.
Feedback is automated and positive is left after it has been received. Any issues please contact me prior to leaving feedback to resolve.

Grades media first, sleeve second. For example; EX/EX indicates vinyl will be EXCELLENT and the sleeve will be EXCELLENT and so forth.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, perhaps a light hairline, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality may have deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
BOTTOM LINE - I DO MY BEST TO GRADE FAIRLY, IF I MAKE A MISTAKE LET ME KNOW , AND ILL DO MY BEST TO RESOLVE ASAP.
Thanks for reading, have a nice life.
