Records are shipped in standard mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits. Returns must be shipped in the same way. Damage to the cover or disc will result in a reduced refund amount.

Please don’t bid if If you own a Crosley or similar inexpensive (aka “cheap”) turntable.

Records that play perfectly well on a real turntable may have problems playing correctly on a toy turntable with no ability to adjust tone arm tracking weight or anti-skid. These junk tables will destroy your collection. My advice: stop buying records until you purchase a real (non-USB) turntable, new or used.

International shipping is: $19

I ship to: Canada, Europe (with exceptions), the UK, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore              

I do not ship to: China, Central or South America, Mexico, Russia, Italy, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India or Africa

   I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

   The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.

   I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++

   Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

   Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

   As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
