Grading

All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition.

The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG). 

As a rule Near Mint (NM) is my highest grade. 

* I don't believe in Mint (M) and will only use it in the exceptional case

where I'm sure to be dealing with an item from unplayed and untouched stock.

I don't offer anything below VG.

Return Policy

If you are not satisfied for any reason you return the item within two weeks

and I offer full refund, no discussion.  

Shipping cost is however for the buyer.
