Grading: I have used the British Record Collectors system as a guide. All records are graded by eye under a bright light. In some cases, where there is doubt, I will play them and say that they have been played to test. As a quick guide:


·         Mint (M) Record and cover etc. like new – I will probably never use this.


·         Excellent (EX) Record shows some signs of use – cover etc. have slight wear and/or creasing.


·         Very Good (VG) Record has obviously had a lot of use but no major deterioration in sound quality – cover etc. has normal wear and tear.


·         Good (G) Record has been heavily used and sound quality has deteriorated – cover etc. will be heavily scuffed, torn and/or discoloured.


·         Fair (F) Record is just about playable but will stick and/or jump – cover etc. will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Cleaning: As I do not have a professional cleaning / anti-static system I have not attempted to clean any of the records, preferring to leave that to purchasers to clean and remove static to their standards.

Photographs: Photographing the vinyl is proving difficult – there will be reflections of everything around. If in doubt please contact me or ask for further photographs to be uploaded.

Buyer Satisfaction: I have tried to be as honest as possible but record grading can be very subjective. However, if you are not satisfied I will give a full no quibble refund including all postage costs. Please contact me so that everything can be sorted to your satisfaction.

 

Posting: I will usually use the Post Office second class for items below 2Kg and a courier or parcel service for heavier items. I will post the next working day – any delay after that is down to the carrier. They quote between 3 and 5 working days delivery time.

Combined Postage: I will combine postage whenever it is cheaper to do so. Please contact me for a quote before purchase or wait for an invoice at checkout.

Packing: I will pack the records between two sturdy pieces of cardboard taped together. This may not look as pretty as a purpose made box but it seems to work well in reducing the chance of the record moving in the packaging or the record moving in the sleeve.
