Grading - These are my records and are over 60 years old. I listen to both sides before listing and try not to overgrade them in order to avoid disappointing a buyer. Unless stated in the description, records this old will have scuffs and scratches and have lost some of their gloss. I am grading them on sound quality and urge you to listen to the video above. The full image photos tend to flatter the records as it is hard to capture scuffs. Do not expect high quality audio if you use a stylus for 33 or 45 rpm discs. The video above is recorded on a Pioneer DJ PLX-500 turntable fitted with a Audio Technica 430 stylus for 78s. I will take the record back if you are unhappy with the grading but at buyer's postage cost so please listen before buying. No record will be listed that jumps or skips.
The most common grades will be:
Excellent - Showing signs of being played but apart from very minor scuffs or scratches, nothing that affects play. Still shiny but without the lustre of a mint record
Very good - Surface will show signs of wear (scuffs or scratches). Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable but not intrusive.
Good - Record can be played through without skipping but will have surface noise, scratches, and groove wear.
Postage - I do not make a penny on postage. The record mailer (see last image above) costs £1.28, postage with insurance up to £50 is £4.45 and Ebay charge approx. £1. I can combine up to 3 x 78s in a box with appropriate postage savings. If you want combined shipping PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE to avoid unnecessary Ebay charges which I cannot recover once you have paid.
