*** Please be advised that the USPS is providing slower delivery service for the foreseeable future, so delays are common. Be safe, happy trails.***


PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

WE ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY

OUR SHIPPING COSTS INCLUDE COST FOR PACKAGING, TRANSPORTATION, AND FREIGHT.

*** ANY MULTIPLE ITEMS PAID FOR SEPARATELY (INSTEAD OF GROUPED TOGETHER AND PAID FOR ON ONE INVOICE FOR COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT) WILL BE SHIPPED IN SEPARATE PACKAGES. NO EXCEPTIONS!

We can NOT bear responsibility for packages lost or damaged by the Postal System.  If you do not agree with this Please DO NOT purchase or bid!

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible.

DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item. If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.  ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***

                                                                                    ATTENTION!!

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: USPS has done away with Surface and Air mail. Replaced with First Class International (FCI) which is supposed to be Air Mail.  Also, FCI cannot be tracked.  Bidders must agree to take full responsibility if they select FCI. We can NOT bear responsibility for packages lost or damaged by the Postal System.  If you do not agree with this Please DO NOT purchase or bid! If you want protection it is available using Priority Mail. Any package over 4 pounds (4 or more LPs) it is automatically sent Priority.  Please wait for an invoice when purchasing 5 or more LPs so that we may get an exact shipping quote from the Post Office. Media and Priority still in effect in US..
