ATTENTION international bidders! 

Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so.

RECORD packaging & shipping!

I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT A FINAL BID DOES NOT COVER YOUR IMPORT FEES!

I don't have a complete import fee list, all buyers must do their own research specific to their country.  For a recent example, a record I shipped 

to Great Britain had a final price of $27.99US plus a $14.99US shipping fee... the UK added an extra $17.00US for import fees ($59.98 total) 

The total amount must be paid before the buyer can receive the record.  I have absolutely no control over fees, your country is to blame! 

Goldmine Standard Grading:

SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P 

I grade conservatively. For more details concerning grades, please see my scale below the record description.

Rare jazz 45rpm EP on the King label by Bill Jennings and Leo Parker... see complete details below.

Vinyl grade:  

VG+ or better (7 / 10) 

Pro cleaned on a 16.5 VPI machine.  

This is a conservative grade. 

Vinyl description:

Record plays strong with no skips but there are some noisy passages at the run-out on both sides (no marks associated with this, seems to be in the recording/pressing). I have cleaned the record thoroughly on my VPI machine.  Surface looks 8/10 or better with only very light scuffs and a few light marks, I'm downgrading my final grade due to the background noise, please listen to the complete play clip below. Play in general is quite enjoyable. Nice shine to the record, clean look overall. 

The vinyl has been cleaned on my VPI 16.5 

Labels look exactly as pictured.

Please judge the playback for yourself at the full clip below. I use a DUAL 731Q direct drive with an Ortofon 5E cartridge/stylus setup. The sound you hear below comes directly from the record and is not edited in any way aside from making the clip(s). This is a conserative visual grade as well as a complete play grade. Again, please feel free to check the sound below!

Cover / Sleeve grade:  

strong VG+ (7 to 7.5 /10) 

This is a conservative grade. 

Cover / Sleeve description:

Sleeve is solid with only light signs of handling. Light edge wear, no splits as the pictures show. Small print pull on front as pictured. The record will be sleeved in a plain sleeve and ship outside the picture sleeve - both will be inside an outer poly sleeve.

The record will ship bubble wrapped, cardboard padded, packed and marked FRAGILE as all my records ship. Please see my feedback to rest assured I take pride in my shipping practices.

Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed the record while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient. 

Thanks for looking!

Mike

Goldmine Grading Details

SS = Still Sealed

any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus

just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus

most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus

 a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good

only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
