Description
The Gloria Record – A Lull in Traffic 12” Red Vinyl EP (Better Looking Records, 2000)
In late ’98 or ’99, I decided Mineral was my favorite band. Unfortunately, they had already broken up by the time I discovered them. Fortunately for me, Chris Simpson, Mineral’s lead singer, quickly formed the Gloria Record, not as raw as Mineral, but emotional nonetheless.
I picked this, their second EP, up in 2000. I don’t know how many copies are out there, but I know I’ve never seen another since I found it in the record store back then. It’s on sweet red vinyl to boot. As with several of my records, I purchased the CD around the same time, and I probably only listened to this vinyl copy two or three times. Everything here, sleeve and vinyl, looks in Like New condition.
Grading Policies and General Remarks on Vinyl Condition:
I do not own a record store and I don't read Goldmine. I'm not going to try to be an expert on grading. Too often when I buy on eBay, people rate items as "Very Good" that I think are ready for the trash.
I do however take care of my records. Most of them were purchased new from independent stores or distros, and I have stored each in a plastic sleeve to ensure that each record remains in about the same condition. Occasionally, I receive a new record from the label or distro with a small seam split or a bent corner. If that's the case, I'll let you know. If it's used, I'll describe whatever visible flaws I see. If I don't describe a particular item, assume that it is in "like New" condition. Whether or not that makes it M, M-, or NM, doesn't mean much to me.
Shipping:
I charge a modest handling fee (included in shipping quote below) to help cover supplies and time. I always ship in cardboard mailers. Most of the time they’re brand new ones that cost me $2.00 a piece, but occasionally, I reuse a record box that someone shipped a record to me in. As a regular eBayer myself, I know the mystery of whether or not a record will arrive in good condition can be quite frustrating and agonizing. I make sure there is no mystery by telling you how I pack my records up front. I believe that my shipping charges are still about average, and you can rest assured that your record will arrive to you well-packed.
I walk by the post office on a daily basis, so your item will typically be in the mail within 24 hours, but occasionally it will take 48. I ask in turn that you pay promptly. If, after 3 days, I have not received paypal payment or been notified by you, I will start the process of reporting you as a non-paying bidder and relist the item.
Be sure to check out my other items, as I offer a pretty good discount for multiple vinyl records. U.S. bidders will pay the highest shipping cost for the auctions you win plus $1.00 for each additional item (Media Mail; Priority will be calculated at auction’s end). Combined shipping for international bidders will be calculated at the end of all auctions and will be based on total weight.
