PAYMENTS

PROCESS: After auction completion, eBay will send the buyer a draft invoice based on the transactions' parameters. The seller will follow up that draft invoice with the actual transaction invoice, taking into account any reduced postage due to multiple purchases. The invoice will have multiple shipping options notated for the buyer to select which service they desire. Payment will cover the merchandise and the shipping option that is selected. SHIPPING METHOD: Invoice will reflect at least two options of shipping methods. Once invoice is received the buyer will need to select the shipping method that they deire by paying that amount on top of that the actual product cost. HOW?: PayPal is the required payment method as it results in a more streamlined and expedited process for both the buyer and the seller WHEN?: Payment is requested by the FOURTHday following the completion of the auction "UNLESS", you are planning on bidding on additional items that arecoming up for bid or your schedule does not permit. Either way, please just notify me and make sure that I am aware.

SHIPPING & HANDLING FEES DISCLOSURE

DOMESTIC: Domestic Shipping & Handling (S&H) Fees total ($1.35). This fee is strictly a cost reimbursement as there is absolutely NO Profit, NO Supplies (tape, packing material, etc) NOR any labor built into this fee. For full, and fair, disclosure, this fee will cover the actual cost ofprotective packaging (poly sleeves & custom mailers) and delivery confirmation. The intent of using these aid in the safe delivery of your merchandise to the buyer. INTERNATIONAL: International Shipping & Handling Fees total ($2.49) which consist ofthe protective shipping items as noted in domestic plus S&H in additional to the cost associated for an extra trip to the Post Office to validate postage amounts prior to shipment and for the completion of required Customs Forms

POSTAGE CALCULATION

I use the eBay/USPS Postage Calculator Tool in order to determine postage amounts. This tool calculates postage amounts based upon the shipments' destination, shipping type, weightand (S&H) fees.

Postage types forDomestic shipments will be is the decision of the buyer. Popular types are "Media Mail" (for lower cost) and "Priority Mail" (for quicker and more dependable delivery) INTERNATIONAL: Postage types for International shipments will be the decision of the buyer and will be either First Class International(less expensive) or International Priority (quicker and more dependable.

DELIVERY

International shipments are much more difficult to track than domestic shipments and inevitably take longer to deliver. This being the case PLEASE be patient in waiting for the merchandise delivery as it could take a month (I've seen it many times).

POSTAGE SAVINGS

Buyers can always save on shipping costs by combining mulitiple auction wins which results in lower postage and eliminates the need for multiple LP mailers.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Better Communications Considerate, and safe, packaging Immediate Feedback (not dependant upon buyers feedback) Expedited turnaround handling (ONE day maximum) Generous return policy (14 day period from date of shipment) Treat the buyer as I would want to be treated

RETURNS

Buyer will have a fourteen (14) day window of opportunity to return purchases The only qualifier is that the reason is Objective Vs.Subjective. As all vinyl collectors, and enthusiasts, are well aware, "grading" is extremely "SUBJECTIVE" and in the end is simply just one man's opinion. A difference of opinion on a vinyl's, or covers', "PROPER" or "CORRECT" grade is something that will exist. That being said, grading alone will NOT be grounds for a refund. I attempt to grade each record as very best that I can with an objective of creating buyers satisfaction. anyone as those that do so will find that action coming around to them. My feedback pretty much supports that philosophy in regards to the accurate grading. On the other hand, if there is an "OBJECTIVE" reason for returning the merchandise I will gladly accept their return. For example, a record that is listed as "Still Sealed" arrives opened, a record is advertised as a original release and turns out to be a reissue, a record is listed as a US release and turns out to be an import) then these are clearly objective reasons to return, which I will gladly accept. Merchandise that is damaged in transit should first be addressed between the buyer and the local postal delivery service.

GRADING PROCESS

Grading Scale: I use "Goldmine" which is the standard that collectors use to buy and sell. See below for grading definitions and explanations. Method (Visual Vs.Sound): Visual, primarily due to time constraints and the volume (thousands) of records that we are dealing with. I use a bright 150W light bulb and I also grade conservatively and doing so for over thirty years. In order to ensure that buyers are happy.

RECORD GRADING SCALE DETAIL

1 MINT (M): Sealed. This is the Holy Grail stage of the vinyl which can not, should not, be used on an opened item. NEAR MINT (NM): A NM record “looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the very first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. They are shiny w/ NO visible defects. There can be NO writing, stickers, markings, etc either on the jacket, label or vinyl. NM records do not have to be "unlayed" asa record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for properly. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear & splits. EXCELLENT (E):I don't use this often but do so when an Item appears extremely close to Near Mint (e.g. blemishes and minimal marks exist that are practically unnoticeable to the naked eye). As I grade conservatively, I can't give this a Near Mint even though the flaws might go unnoticed to others so the resultant grade is VG++ VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+):A VG+ record is “except for a couple minor factors, would be Near Mint.” VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, also. There may be some very faint signs ofring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint. VERYGOOD (VG): records may have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were inbetter shape. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too 6. GOOD (G), POOR (P) or FAIR (F): Do not plan on selling any records that fall into these cagtegories
