Description
MY PHILOSOPHY
Record Grading is a subjective endeavor! Sellers tend to over-grade, buyers tend to under-grade. Honesty, attention to detail and complete accuracy are the only ways to counteract this problem.
Visual Grading under a bright light is absolutely necessary! Any record looks near mint in the dark.
Play Grading is everything. I have had pristine looking records play crackly, and have had scratchy looking records play surprisingly cleanly.
Label
Descriptions are a must. It can be very frustrating to see a listing of a copy of (for example) Iron Butterfly’s In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, that tells you nothing of the label. Is it an original purple & brown label, a 2nd issue yellow ‘1841 Broadway’ address label, a 3rd issue yellow ‘Rockefeller Plaza’ address label, or an even later gray label?#!??
Sealed Records I will never knowingly sell a re-sealed record. I have been burned in the past, and know the frustration. However, once you buy a sealed record, and open it, I just cannot offer a refund if you don’t like what you got. Unless I witness the opening, there is simply no way for me to know if what you send back is what I sent you. If I have suspicions about a sealed record, I will either not sell it, or relate my suspicions in the listing.
Purchasing a record sight-unseen can be very rewarding, or can be very disappointing.
My goal is very simple. To have every buyer finish the deal happy!
