Condition Grading of Vinyl Records
I am somewhat conservative in the condition-grading of records because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning; more valuable items are usually test-played. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.
I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction

I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared.

You should, however, receive your purchases much quicker than this!
