My ratings for records strive to be simple, accurate, tend to be conservative,and are as follows.  No plus or minusmarks, double plus or triple plus! Please note: if I have not recently played the record, my assessment issolely based on a visual inspection under a strong light, and obviously, myratings could be out of whack.
For Disks:
Mint (M) - only used for sealed, aspurchased, and obviously, never played (but see note below on sealed records, ifapplicable). 
Excellent (EX): No scratches, skips, pops, clicks, scuffs, a clean,glossy surface - very little evidence of having been played – a clean glossysurface.
Good (G): a few short, shallow scratches producing pops or clicks but noskips, minor scuffing, overall clean, glossy surface.
Fair (F): minor scratches, scuffs, some manufacturing defects, no skips.
Poor (P): numerous scratches, scuffs - a few isolated skips (I willoffer records with a small number of skips only if the item is somewhat rare -and the skip may be “worked around” with better playback equipment than Ihave).
ForRecord Jackets:
Mint(M) -sealed, shrink wrapped, as purchased and no cut-out hole, notches, slits,straight clipped corners, circular clipped corners, metal ferrule inserts,clean edged hole, ragged edged hole, under shrink wrap damage, labels,stickers, bumped or smushed corners, bends, creases, nothing, nada, zip.
Excellent (EX): May have shrink wrap and may be sealed, no writing, wearrings, bends, a clean surface, may have cut-out or hole punched through cover

Item is sold asis.  If you have aproblem with the listing then let me know before bidding – especially if I havemade an error or have not been able to find definitive information regarding alisting.  Any missed issues ordiscrepancies in the listing on my part will be resolved before the record isshipped.  Returns will only be acceptedbased on a misrepresentation or omission on my part – not, for instance, on adifference of opinion on what is or is not a scuff or a scratch.  I will refund all postage – but Buyer isrequired to send back item in same box and using the same method of shipping.  Refund will be issued after I have receiveditem.  If you do not like theserequirements look elsewhere.  Finally,there are no returns for International Orders.

Please note that I only do minimal cleaning of records and recommend that thebuyer clean and/or repair the record or jacket according to their preference.  My records have been stored for an extendedperiod of time in a cool, dry, basement and may have some fine dirt or dust onits surface and static buildup, especially records that have been playedbefore.  I usually wipe the outer jacketand disk with a damp lint-free cloth. This is not a deep groove cleaning of the disk and there usuallyis some small buildup of dust and static on the vinyl’s surface.  I usually catch my fingerprints.

Shipping: Buyer to pay actual shipping charges to be determined afterthe end of auction.  Please note: thereis a $1.00 handling charge (includes inserts and shipping box).  Packages will be shipped Media Mail –postage does not include insurance, which is extra, if desired.  Media Mail does include tracking.  Will use Priority Mail if quicker shippingis purchased by buyer.  Priority Maildoes include insurance and tracking. Paypal accepted for payment (but ask about other forms of payment).  Any item over $25 and shipped Media Mail hasto be insured by the buyer.

Winner will be contacted after close of auction.  Will always combine items to lower exorbitant shipping fees.  Can ship up to 3 single-disc records perbox, additional boxes will be at a charge of $.50 per box.  Payment is expected within 5 days of auction’sclose, but I will accept delayed payment and will delay shipping if you arebidding on an active auction(s). Finally, please do not ask for special handling that will substantiallyincrease the weight of the package after you have sent payment.  Thanks for looking - and DON’T FORGET TOBOOGIE…
 
Cautionary note on Sealed Records
Not all sealed records are in Mint, Excellent or even Very Good condition.  An LP’s jacket that is sealed with shrinkwrap may have obvious signs of cover wear and may be marred by a punched hole(of varying sizes), narrow slits, or a clipped corner (also of varying sizes),which automatically detract from the cover’s rating.  Sometime a small brass plug was used in the cover to denote acut-out.  These types of marks indicatethe record was taken out of circulation and sold at discount.  Evidently record distributorsre-shrunk-wrapped the record as can be seen on LPs where the new plasticcovers the cut-out hole and/or other obvious damage.  Re-wrapping may result in bent corners andother minor damage to cover.  Also, tobe sure, there is always the possibility that a used record has beenre-shrink-wrapped by someone to upgrade the appearance and value of a record.  As for the disk itself, another thing to beconsidered is the quality of the disk’s original manufacture - I have hadrecent experience of playing records for the first time that contained scuffs,scratches, and skips.  I am not sure ifthis was the result of the record being second hand, damaged during handling,poor manufacturing standards, or simply, due to my playback equipment – whichis definitely not state of the art! With this in mind, please note that if a record is sealed I cannotverify the condition of the disk.
