	£		85

A SHORT NOTE REGARDING TO THE RECENT (UNDESERVED !!) NEGATIVES LEFT BY TWO DEADBEATS…ONE OF THEM WON AN ITEM,NEVER PAID FOR IT AND LEFT A RIDICULOUS NEGATIVE FEEDBACK (THIS SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED !!)..THE OTHER „GENIOUS” –WHO BARELY SPEAKS/UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH AT ALL -  ONLY COLLECTS „MINT” RECORDS (ACCORDING TO HIM !!) , BID ON MY EX+ AND MINT- RECORDS AND UPON RECEIVING THEM STARTED A PAYPAL CLAIM STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT „MINT”..PAYPAL CLOSED THE CASE IN MY FAVOUR (A CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT BOTH OF MY GRADINGS WERE 100% CORRECT !!!) – AS A RETALIATION HE LEFT NEGATIVES …

BUT THE WORST OF THEM ALL IS FROM "TREEHOUSERECORDSRETAIL" WHO UNREALISTICLY EXPECTS/DEMANDS AN EX+ COVER TO BE "NEAR PERFECT" (WHICH IS NOT AND SHOULD NEVER BE !!) AND THEN CLAIMS HE RECEIVED ONLY A PARTIAL REFUND (I RECEIVED A NOTE FROM PAYPAL THAT FULL REFUND HAS BEEN GIVEN,ALSO HAVE A COPY OF IT !!!)...I GUESS THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING...

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND (!!) ALL THE INFO REGARDING TO CONDITION ( AN EX+ COVER/RECORD IS NOT MINT OR „NEAR PERFECT” !!! ), POSTAGE ETC. BEFORE BIDDING – THIS WILL SAVE FRUSTRATION FOR BOTH OF US…

Gradings: I ALWAYS TRY TO DO MY BEST IN GIVING ACCURATE,HONEST AND VERY STRICT GRADINGS BY USING THE FOLLOWING TERMS:

MINT

EX (EXCELLENT)

VG ( VERY GOOD)

I ALSO USE  PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) IF THE CONDITION FALLS BETWEEN TWO GRADES.

VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT, THEN WILL BE TESTPLAYED SKIPPING THROUGH EACH TRACK ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK  QUALITY.

ALL TESTPLAYING IS DONE ON TOP QUALITY EQUIPMENT- LINN SONDEK WITH ITTOK TONEARM AND BENZ MICRO GLIDER S MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE,McINTOSH TUBE AMPMS AND AMT ESS HEIL SPEAKERS.

IN THE UNLIKELY CASE THAT YOU SHOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING/DESCRIPTION PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK-I’M SURE THAT WE CAN CLEAR OUT EVERY PROBLEM IN A KIND WAY!

PLEASE NOTE:ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T  HEAR ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS DURING THE TESTPLAY ON MY SYSTEM AND HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL,I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY ON YOUR SYSTEM -YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ODD STATICK TICK/POP THAT I DIDN’T !!!

If you expect a factory new record with CD sound, dont bid, look for the CD instead. This means that a M- record is not NEW, it is most likely used but taken exceptional care of that it qualifies as M-.
