Seller Information

Shipping prices are for single items. Multiple items and multiple LP/12"/CD sets may cost a little more.
Domestic priority depends on how far you live from me [19115, Philadelphia].
For international orders, I use the Postal Service link below after weighing and add .85 for the cost of a record mailer.
Air mail:
http://ircalc.usps.gov/
LP's/45's with heavy covers & heavy pressings cost a little more.
For example, a 45 is usually around 4 - 6 ounces packed, but may be 7 - 8+ ounces if it has a hard cover or a gatefold sleeve.
LP's are usually 20 ounces packed, but may be 22 - 24 ounces if it has a gatefold or is a heavy pressing.
Higher priced domestic items will be sent with insurance and tracking.
Higher priced international items will be sent priority for safety and
tracking. Higher usually means $75+, but is flexible and depends on buyer's purchase record.

Grading

All records are visually graded. If you need more detail, please email and I'll gladly give you a detailed grading of the item you are interested in!
GRADING: Cover/Record
[S1/S2 = side1/side2]
M [does not exist!]
M- [nothing but the most minor surface mark, high gloss]
EX [a few more of the most minor surface marks, high gloss]
VG++ [a few more of the most minor surface marks, high gloss]
VG+ [a few more of the most minor surface marks with possible light scratch, possible loss of gloss]
VG [many surface marks and/or more scratches that are feelable, possible loss of gloss]
VG- [same as vg, but with more feelable scratches that cause clicks/pops]
G+ [clicks, pops, loss of gloss]
Note: Even my lowest grade G+ does not skip on my turntable. Anything VG++ or higher are really nice! VG+ is your standard used album that plays very well with possibly a light feelable scratch that doesn't cause clicks that overpower music or repeat many times. Also, note that many 45's graded as low as VG play great!
() = an in-between grade. For expample, VG(+) = between VG and VG+
--------------------
CD/DVD/VHS
EX = excellent condition
CD/DVD [at most a very light scuff or nothing]
VHS [very clean]
VG+ = some wear
CD/DVD [light scuffs that don't effect play]
VHS [some wear to the box]
VG = moderate wear
CD/DVD [more scuffs that don't effect play]

wol/c/s = writing on label/cover/sleeve

s1/s2/s3/etc = side 1/side 2/ side 3/ etc...
DJ copy = promo copy
wlp = white label promo [though, since many promos are not technically white labels, I usually use DJ copy even though it may be wlp]
in the shrink = opened but still in the shrink. it is not sealed
na = not applicable [plain cover or plain cover w/ slick...I do not give a grade]

Return Policy

You may return an item if it's not in the conditon described. You may not return items if you decide you don't like the music. I will return the base price of the item.
-----------------------------------------
Sealed Records:
After a sealed record is paid for, I will gladly open it before mailing to make sure that the record is new & unplayed. If the record is not, I will give a full refund. Even though it is easy to spot most resealed records from the 60's [I will mention that in the desription if it looks like a possibility], not all records from the 70's & 80's are quite as obvious. Please ask for any details about the seal of a particular record & I will be happy to answer.
