The records have signs of use and we hope they are found to be in good usable condition. If there are any records that turn out to be unusable we'll provide a prorated credit and if there are any issues with all of them we'll provide a full refund to the winning bidder including the cost of return provided they are return posted at USPS Media mail rates. Our intent is to provide responsible support if there are any issues since we have not been able to play these records.
That's about it. The pictures should be helpful to those having interest. We'll start this lot of old or vintage vinyl record recording low so enjoy the auction. We'll pack these carefully. When packed the records will weight about 3 lbs and we'll use USPS Media mail service as the lowest cost postal alternative to the buyer. We have no packing or handling charge. Extra cost USPS postal services like Postal Insurance or Upgraded postal services are easily available should the winning bidder wish to make arrangements.
