Vinyl Grading System

Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM)  The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) Same but I'd tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+)  A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) ? It's seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) ? To be honest you?re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I?d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to answer.

I pack and ship records in plastic sleeves, seperate from the covers to avoid splitting, in a new 200lb test record mailer with stiffener insert.

Records are shipped within 1 business day of cleared payment.

Although it is extremely rare to have damaged item when shipping, it is buyer's responsibility to insure package for safe transit.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING INFORMATION:

International orders are processed and shipped via the ebay Global Shipping Program.
All items will be well-packaged for International shipping. (I have been doing this for a long time, and use the golden rule of packaging. I ship items the way I would like to receive them.)  All items will be shipped in a poly sleeve with vinyl outside of protective sleeve, with a cardboard stiffener insert, inside a 200lb test lp mailer.
 
International buyers will pay for US shipping to the eBay Global Shipping Program sorting center, plus any additional charges that eBay adds for International shipping and fees via the Global Shipping Program. The Global Shipping Program is not currently providing multiple-item shipping discounts.
 
FYI: I am using the ebay Global Shipping Program so that International buyers have access. I have no control over the GSP rates, which at first may seem a bit high. But please bear in mind that GSP prices include tracking for International orders. (Because of past problems, I can no longer ship International eBay transactions without tracking... and I cannot provide International shipping with tracking at anything close to the GSP prices. So if you factor in the tracking, GSP prices are reasonable.) However, if the shipping rates/fees quoted by eBay are too much for you, please shop elsewhere.


Please note : 
All packages can be expected to be delayed Due to current crisis
Shipments this winter have arrived safely, but in one incidence a package took a very long time. (February 2021)

Although I ship most packages same day as ordering, I cannot be responsible for package taking a long time to arrive / shipping not arriving or lost. 

VOLUME DISCOUNT!
