Condition

Vinyl: NM- (no sign of play, minimal age discoloring)

Cover:  generic white sleeve    

My Grading System is based on Record Collector Guidelines, but I modified definitions to be clearer:

Mint (M). This grade is only used for a sealed record with no damage, or, for a new record that did not come in shrink-wrap, but I know for sure has not been played.

Near Mint (NM).  Think of this category as “No Marks”. The record itself is in pristine, glossy condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are also in perfect condition.

Excellent (EX).  This category if for records that have light signs of having been played, but there is virtually no lessening in sound quality (Basically it is for records that have only cosmetic flaws like scuffs and hairlines that do not cause pops, ticks or crackles). The cover and packaging might have slight wear, such as rubbing on edges, pre-splits on seams that do not go all the way through and creasing.

Very Good (VG).  This category is for records that have obviously been played many times (they will have noticeable surface marks, hairlines, scuffs and / or the occasional light scratch), and have various degrees of deterioration in sound quality, such as pops, ticks and crackles. This category does not include records that skip or jump – they must be able to play all the way through without interruption. There will be light wear and tear on the cover or extra items, with the possibility of minor defects, such as promotional marks, light writing, minor water damage and small tears.

Good (G)   This category is for records that have been played and stored without care - so much so that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated. It will show many scratches, hairlines, scuffs and deep surface marks that cause considerable background noise and possibly the occasional skip or jump. The cover and contents suffer from tears, rips, major writing and water / mold damage.

Poor (P) This category is only used for broken records. It is for items that are destroyed but possibly desirable because of rarity.

Plus “+” and minus “-“ signs are used to provide additional detail when the condition is between two specific grades. So, for example, “ NM-“, or “Near Mint Minus”, will be a tiny bit better than “Excellent +”.

Hi – I’m listing a bunch of disco, soul and funk singles. There are some rare titles by a lot of legendary artists (C.M. Lord, Tyrone Brunson, Final Edition, Martin Jaye , Jack McDuff, Glory, Funn, etc.) so take a look at my other auctions for things that you might be looking for. Thanks!

SHIPPING INFO

If you win more than 1 12-inch record, please wait for me to send you an invoice with actual shipping charges. Domestic shipping (via Media Mail) is $4.00 for 1 12-inch record and $0.75 for each additional, LP FOR UP TO 8 DISCS (I can fit up to 8 discs into a standard mailer).

Orders for 9 records and above will require a large mailer box, which adds an additional $4.50 to the shipping charges (that is my cost for the box + Delivery Confirmation). The good news is that the per disc cost drops to just $0.50 cents. So, an order of 10 records would cost a total of $9.50 to ship anywhere within the U.S.A., AND AFTER 15 RECORDS, THE REST ARE FREE, SO and order of 20 discs has the same shipping charges as an order of 15 discs - $12. I can fit up to 20 records in these large mailers – then I have to start over with a new mailer. Other services are available upon request – just e-mail me with what you want so I can get a quote.

NOTE: I just purchased some new, larger mailers that can hold up to 50 records! I will use these for any combined order of more than 20 12” records. Shipping costs for these mailers start at $12 for 21 records and go up $0.25 (25 cents) for each additional record. Which means an order of 40 records will cost $16.75 to ship.

International shipping is via First Class International (up to 4 pounds, Priority for over 4 pounds) – ask me for a quote, or check the USPS website (http://ircalc.usps.gov/) to get an idea about what it will cost. Non-US auction winners, please wait for me to send an invoice – the Ebay shipping calculator is not accurate, and if you use it, you will either pay too much, or not enough to cover shipping costs, and I might have to request additional money, which nobody likes.

As stated above, I package records in cardboard mailers with insulation, and purchase Delivery Confirmation (United States customers only), for your protection and mine. Although I combine items to minimize shipping charges, I can only wait up to 10 days from the end of an auction for you to win additional auctions. At the end of 10 days you will need to pay for all the items you won in that period.
