Please read entire auction for any additional details concerning shipping and handling.

**************************

I will combine shipping if winning multiple lots or auctions. Please refer to non-album/LP auctions for combine shipping charges for those other auctions, because they will differ.

All LP grades assigned are subjective and may differ from another person's viewpoint. I am not a professional grader, but I have collected records and albums for over 35 years. When LPs or records are play tested, they are disc-brush cleaned and then played on a 1980s Pioneer direct-drive turntable using Stanton or AudioTechnica needles.

Combined Shipping costs for LP auctions:- Will be recalculated to include a new shipping charge. Additional costs will be applied after the shipping cost of the heaviest weighted auction that was won (i.e. a 2-LP record lot is heavier than a single LP lot.)- I will combine auction shipment costs for up to four (4) LPs (4 single LPs, 2 double LPs, or a combination of both types, not to exceed four LPs in the album mailer). I do this, so they will ship securely in a record mailer and without possible damage during shipment. An additional amount of $.50 per LP will be added after the initial charge. - I use a prefabricated 12" record mailer for all LP shipments and will only add insurance upon request.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.

All sales are final and no returns will be accepted.
- I want to make you happy with your purchase and to ensure you are, please contact me first me with any issues that you may have, so I can try to resolve any - amicably and to your satisfaction. Communication is the key to success for us both.
- My feedback is 100% and shows that I consistently ship fast, securely, and as described.
- Positive feedback will be given, when positive feedback is received.
