HAVE SOME PRETTY COOL DOO-WOP, PUNK & SOUL 45S TO LIST - ALONG WITH MANY SWEET ELVIS 45'S
- Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
- Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.
The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. - Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. - Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. - Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. - Poor (P), Fair (F) Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon

**************
Due to the recent number of unpaid item cases closed against users (most new users with low feedback) I ask that the winning bidder drop me a note acknowledging they have read the terms and conditions and payment will be made within the specified time frame. If payment is made immediately no message is required. If I do not hear from you within 12 hrs an unpaid item case will be opened on the 2nd day. I will follow through with it and close it out if payment is not made.
Thanks to those who pay and make the experience a very enjoyable one, especially my long term customers. It's unfortunate that a few irresponsible users have to spoil it for the honest users.
Shipping
ALL items must be paid on one invoice and shipped in the same package. Buyers are unable to adjust invoices for shipping discounts so please DO NOT check out at end of purchase and expect a shipping refund after. Please put all of the items in the shopping cart and then click "checkout". At that point you will be able to request the total from me. Shipping charges are based upon weight so usually a single shipping charge will cover multiple purchases for small jewelry and postcards.
SALES TAX
New York state residents must pay a tax of 8% on all purchases unless a vaild resale certificate is supplied. Per NYS law the number only is not sufficient, a complete form must be on file
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
No longer shipping outside of the United States, postage prohibitive and way to many requests to alter customs to avoid fees
