Please scroll below to see my full vinyl and cover/sleeve grading guidelines. All of my 45s are shipped in professionally-designed, heavy duty cardboard mailers with extra cardboard padding.

I personally write all of my own descriptions, take all of my own photos, and package all items for mailing myself. I do not use text, photos or information from “other” sources and would certainly never do so without referencing them. Items pictured in any of my listings are always the actual items that buyers will receive from me.

Payment by PAYPAL ONLY....I do not accept any other form of payment. Unless the buyer makes a different arrangement with me (i.e. contacts me directly), payment is expected within three days (72 hours) from the closing date of the item. After three days, an unpaid item case will automatically be opened and the buyer then has four additional days to complete payment (per Ebay's terms).

INTERNATIONAL (all non-U.S.) BUYERS: First Class Mail International is the cheapest method of international shipping that I offer for sales totaling less than $100.00; but please be aware there is NO WAY to track these packages once they leave my hands. If you want tracking information, you need to upgrade to Regular Priority Mail or Registered Mail. Purchases totaling $100.00 or more must be sent with a registered tracking number. This is the best way to ensure your item(s) gets to you safely and is in compliance with Ebay/Paypal's seller protection policies. The registered fee is listed separately, as "Expedited Shipping," under the shipping prices. Also note that Registered First Class Mail can take slightly longer for delivery, depending upon the destination. The above sales terms are non-negotiable.

I am always happy to offer COMBINED SHIPPING for ALL BUYERS for up to one week from the closing date of the initial purchase. Final payment is always expected WITHIN ONE WEEK FROM THE CLOSING DATE OF THE BUYER'S INITIAL PURCHASE. Please don't expect items to be held for more than one week while additional bids are placed. Please try to be considerate of this request when bidding on multiple items on different dates.

Combined shipping for U.S. BUYERS: I can ship one or two 45 records for a flat $4.00 First Class Mail fee. I can ship between six and twenty-four 45 records for the same $4.00 flat fee, but by Media Mail (allow a little extra time for delivery). Tracking is included in the price for both First Class and Media Mail. Postal insurance will be included only at the buyer’s request.

Combined shipping for CANADIAN BUYERS: Postage rates have changed yet again!! I can ship up to four 45 records in the same package for a flat $9.50 First Class Mail International fee. I can ship between five and sixteen 45 records in the same package for a flat fee of $15.50. For more than sixteen 45 records, please email me directly for a shipping quote.

Combined shipping for all other INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Postage rates have changed yet again!! I can ship one or two 45 records in the same package for a flat $14.00 First Class Mail International fee. I can ship between three and sixteen 45 records in the same package for a flat fee of $22.50. For more than sixteen 45 records, please email me directly for a shipping quote.

Buyer satisfaction and returns: I offer what I believe is a very reasonable return policy for all individual items (and smaller lots) that I sell. The item must be returned to me exactly as it was packaged and mailed to the buyer. I will refund the original sale price and shipping fee only; return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility. I do not give ‘partial’ refunds either (i.e. the buyer keeps the item for a lesser price). This policy applies to U.S. and non-U.S. buyers alike and regardless of the final sale price of the item. That being said, please ask any and all questions you may have before bidding.

Items are normally shipped within 1 to 2 business days from receipt of payment.

My vinyl and cover/sleeve gradings are as follows:

MINT: I do not use this grade except for sealed/unopened items.

NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS: Vinyl looks basically brand new, untouched, unplayed or nearly unplayed. Cover looks pretty much as new with no real flaws to speak of. This is basically how the item would have looked when it was new from the factory.

VG++: Very close to M-, with vinyl showing only the very slightest, most subtle signs of any past handling or play. Cover may show just the barest hint of wear from age, but nothing at all serious or detracting.

VG+: Vinyl shows some subtle signs that it was played in the past, but was generally well taken care of. Cover shows only some minor signs of age or wear, but nothing too detracting.

VG: Vinyl is beginning to show more obvious signs of past handling and play but still has strong sound quality overall. Cover is beginning to show more signs of age and wear, but is fully intact and still displays very well overall.

GOOD: Vinyl has very obvious signs of wear from over the years, but still plays strongly and enjoyably enough. Cover has obvious wear and tear from age, but is intact and still displayable.

***My very good and good records are very good and good, not bad and even worse! I also do not use the EX (excellent) grading at all.***

FAIR: Record wasn’t properly cared for in the past and very clearly shows it, but it is still playable and should be enjoyable enough for some. I rarely offer records in this condition.
