Condition: Record has some light marks but plays as VG+ condition, cover is in VG due to some lamination "bubbling", see pictures. I rarely use NM or M grades, my grades are always very descriptive and strict.
Grading
Most records are visually graded. In certain circumstances, I will play a record to get the most accurate grading.
I use "Record Collector" grading method (Mint, NM, EX, VG, etc.). My highest grade for a non-sealed record is usually NM (Near Mint) I will grade it as Mint only if it's sealed or if I am 100% certain that this record was never played and has no pressings faults. I will not list records less than VG condition unless they are extremely rare.
Shipping & Handling
We ship via International Registered Air Mail Shipping (we are NOT located in the US).
I wrap the record in a bubble-nylon, record separated from cover and packed in a high-quality cardboard record mailer.
I can combine shipping on multiple items, usually, shipping is discounted significantly (approx. $4 for each additional LP, depends on the final quantity and total weight), please contact me first.
Feel safe when I ship!
Payment must be made within 2 days after auction's end. If you need more time - please update in advance.
