Plus (+) and minus (-) modifers are used to denote a better or lesser condition from the basic grade.
GRADING
For the most part, records will be graded by visual standards to determine its condition. After the initial examination, records offered for sale are cleaned with a VPI vacuum record cleaning machine and spot checked for playing condition. When a record is play-graded, it will be stated in the description.

CONDITIONS OF SALE1. DESCRIPTIONS
Although the CLASSICAL RECORD EXCHANGE has made every attempt to describe correctly the items offered for sale, occasionally errors do occur. Therefore, we reserve the right to make corrections when necessary and provide additional information at any time during the sale.
Descriptions are guaranteed to be accurate as regards to authenticity, vintage and condition.
Images displayed are of the actual item for sale, and are intended to assist bidders in identification.
2. SUCCESSFUL BIDDERSSuccessful bidders will receive an ebay invoice with the transaction details for all purchases at the close of the sale and I would appreciate an e-mail response within three days and the transaction completed within ten days.
It is the responsibilty of the bidder to furnish a valid e-mail address where they can be contacted. Please be advised, if the bidder does not respond to e-mails or make their payment within the prescribed time frame, the item(s) is subject to withdrawal at my discretion and the bidder will be blocked from all future sales.
3. U.S.SHIPPING
Please wait for my invoice with the buyer's option to ship via USPS priority or media mail.
The shipping cost via USPS priority mail for 1-2 lps, will vary between $6.00 when shipping from New Jersey to the northeast and $7.50 when shipping to the Pacific coast. The shipping cost for the rest of the country is somewhere in between $6.00 and $7.50. The delivery time for priority mail is 2-3 days.
(Shame on USPS for not having a standard postal rate via priority mail when the package is over one pound)
An inexpensive shipping option is via media mail. The buyer pays $3.67 for USPS media mail for the first lp and $0.50 for each additional lp with 1-3 weeks delivery time.
** The price for shipping includes postage, delivery confirmation, and quality mailer / box / packing materials.**
4. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Shipping costs will be calculated by weight and destination country. All items will be shipped USPS Airmail Letter Post up to 4 pounds and Airmail Parcel Post over 4 pounds. Surface mail is NOT offered for international shipments because it is unreliable, takes forever to reach its destination and will only cause problems and complaints.
It is virtually impossible to accurately determine in advance, what the international shipping amount will be for multiple items. This is largely due to the fact that USPS adjusts their postal rates every four ounces and the problem is compounded because the records and their covers/boxes all vary in weight. It is for these reasons that I can only give a price to ship one record at this time.
International shipping rates via USPS Airmail Letter Post for 1 lp is as follows: CANADA, $7.50, ENGLAND, GERMANY, THE NETHERLANDS, WESTERN EUROPE $13.00. AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, EASTERN EUROPE, JAPAN, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, SOUTH AMERICA $14.00. Additonal lps are considerably less expensive after the first one.
** The price for shipping includes postage and quality mailer / box / packing materials.**
Multiple purchases and box sets will be invoiced. A definite amount for shipping wil be established after the items are properly packaged and weighed.
5. PACKAGING
My first priority when shipping is to provide secure packing and maximum protection for the records. I use NEW sturdy 200 lb. test corrugated mailers with stiffners for 1-2 lps.. Larger orders are shipped in an oversized 200 lb. test corrugated box that allows extra space for crushing materials and more protection. Before putting the items into the mailer/box, the records are removed from the cover to prevent slicing through the seams while in transit, placed into a plastic outer sleeve with the cover and packed tightly with stiffners or various crushing materials to prevent movement and possible damage. My packaging procedure may vary at times, but essentially it is as stated in this description.
6. PAYMENT
I prefer PayPal but will cheerfully accept money orders and checks. To pay with a personal check, ($50.00 limit) ebayers need a minimum of 10 positive feedbacks and no negatives. Please make ONE PAYMENT for multiple purchases to avoid shipping delays and unnecessary refunds, PAYPAL is mandatory for all INTERNATIONAL transactions.
7. INSURANCE
Insurance is optional and at the buyer's expense. While domestic priority mail and international airmail shipments infrequently go astray, please note that uninsured packages are solely the customer's responsibility if damaged or lost by the postal service.
Domestic insurance rates are as follows: (subject to change) $1.35 up to the value of $50.00; $2.30 up to the value of $100.00; $3.35 up to the value of $200.00; $4.40 up to the value of $300.00; etc.
** When the value of the purchased items is high, I strongly recommend that you insure your package, especially when shipped via media mail.**
Unfortunately, USPS offers NO insurance or tracking for International Airmail Letter Post. Only International Airmail Parcel Post can be insured at the following rates: (subject to change) US $1.95 up to the value of $50.00; US $2.75 up to the value of $100.00; US $3.80 up to the value of $200.00; US $4.85 up to the value of $300.00; etc.
**Small parcels can be insured via Airmail Parcel Post but the postal rates are much higher than if shipped via Airmail Letter Post.**
