Shipping Discounts: I will happily combine "Buy It Now" purchases with winning auctions within 7 days of close—the least recent winning transaction being no more than 7 days prior. In other words, this offer to combine winnings is limited to a 7 day maximum timeframe. I may be flexible on this time constraint in some circumstances, so message me with your intentions. If taking advantage of this, please contact me before payment.

I ship in sturdy cardboard mailers designed for LPs, taking the vinyl from the jacket to prevent seam splits in transit.

Grading: My highest grade is m- (mint minus). From there I follow the Goldmine rating system always listing flaws, although I use vg++ as a grade in between m- and vg+. My grading is guaranteed. Should any issues arise, please contact me.

Payment:  Paypal payment is expected within 7 days of auction end.

SHIPPING:

I am not responsible for uninsured parcels.

Multiple LP sets count per the number of LPs in the set.

Domestic US shipping:

Media Mail - $5.00 for the first 1-2 LPs; add $1 each additional. Example: 3 records = $6 for shipping ($5 for first LP, no additional $ for second LP, plus $1 for third). Insurance is an additional $2.10.

A few words about packaging and shipping: My goal is that the record(s) you purchase arrive(s) in the same condition identified in the listing(s). With this in mind, I carefully pack, using boxes (200# test) sourced from Bags Unlimited, which specializes in shipping records (among other things), while providing an added stiffener/spacer for protection. Each LP is removed from its jacket and both record and cover are placed in a plastic outer sleeve. Packaging materials currently cost $1.74 for one LP. Most times (~80%) the total weight of the package for one LP/jacket (especially if gatefold jacket or ‘50s/’60s/180g+ vinyl) is over 1 lb., resulting in U.S. Media Mail shipping cost @ $3.17 at current postal rates. If the record/jacket is light, with total package weighing under 1 lb. (~20% of the time), MM shipping will be $2.66. Since eBay assesses a final value fee of 10% on all sales, to include shipping costs, my net ‘take’ of my $5.00 shipping charge is $4.50. As you can quickly calculate, on average, I take a loss on shipping charges. Please consider this when leaving feedback.

International shipping:

I am not responsible for uninsured parcels. If insurance is desired, package must ship via Priority Mail since insurance is not available on First Class International Mail.

Winning totals over $75 MUST be sent Priority Mail (insured up to $200)—contact me for rates.

Multiple LP sets count per the number of LPs in the set.  Packages of 4 LPs and more will be sent Priority Mail (see below).

Canada: $17.00 First Class mail (uninsured) for the first LP + $2.00 each additional.  Winning totals over $75 MUST be sent Priority Mail @ $40.00 for the first LP + $2.00 each additional.  

Rest of the world: $26.00 First Class mail (uninsured) for the first 1 LP, after that: 2 = $29.00; $3 = $39.00; 4 = must be sent Priority Mail—contact me for rates, as these fluctuate quite a bit from country to country.

Please note: all customs forms will be made out to winning bid amounts. 

Please contact me with any questions whatsoever.
