Description
What you're looking at: This copy has STEREO and VAN GELDER stamped in the runoff, with a New York USA label. Pretty heavy pressing ... feels about 180g. Not 100% perfect, however, I believe a collector and player would be happy with it. It has a few slight, light imperfections, but the quality is a VG+ (Very strong VG or middling VG+). Only occasional audio imperfections.
How it stacks up:
RECORD: Very Strong VG/middling VG+ (7-7.5 of 10) I only call it a VG because there is one light scratch on side one that crosses track one and two, however, it is very light. I didn't notice any defects listening to it. Other than that, there may be a very more, light, marks.
SLEEVE: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Great cover. Heavy cardboard, high gloss. Does have a 3" split in the middle of the top seam. Other than that, it's good to go.
MY GRADING SCALE (I.E. NOT ANYBODY ELSE’S):
OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being ridiculously wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, G+, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That is it. No more letters, thus VG++ is a very good record. NM does NOT exist in my scale.
AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a second number in parenthesis, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general sector of opinion, thus the number will be between 1 and 10. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio quality wise, the former is more for visual.
That being said, I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 (YEAH BOY!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.
RETURNS: Generally returns are a no go, unless you have a compelling reason; also, I will give a TWO week grace period for exchanges (that means the buyer pays shipping back to me if they want a return). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips, emails, two part grading system and a full policy description) and, as I see it, the buyer has as much responsibility as the seller to a) know what they are buying and b) have the decency to ask prior to purchase.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … After that, if you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record domestically.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I now will ship overseas of whatever the quote is. so CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!
I really hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Other than that, bid happily.
