Notes about my Records

Record Gradings

The gradings I use are those defined by Record Collector, sometimes supplemented by + or – signs for fine-tuning.  For example an otherwise Excellent record with light scuff marks which are purely cosmetic and have no impact upon audio quality might merit an EX- rating rather than a wholesale downgrading to VG.   At the end of the day record gradings are always subjective, but I try hard to be accurate.  Record Collector defines seven gradings ranging from Mint down to Bad.  I seldom offer a record in anything less than Very Good condition unless it is particularly rare or collectable. These are the definitions I use:

Mint (M): The record is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and any extra items (eg booklet, poster, lyric sheet) are in perfect condition.  Sealed or unplayed items should be Mint.

Excellent (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.  The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG):  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.  Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good (G):  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Lower grades are defined but I rarely use them.

My assessment of a record's condition is based on my experience of more than 25 years occasional trading (record fairs, mail order, shop stall sales and eBay).

PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

UK CUSTOMERS: Payment by PayPal is preferred. Cheques or postal orders are acceptable - please make payable to Keith Ashford BUT, for orders under £40 please pay by PayPal or UNCROSSED Postal Order ONLY. Cheque payments: (both paper AND eCheque) I regret dispatch must wait while the cheque is cleared. (Unfortunately a round-trip to my nearest bank takes almost an hour so I have to limit the number of visits I make).

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: Payment by PayPal ONLY please.

ALL CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE: Items will be re-listed 7 days after the sale date if payment is still awaited unless I have agreed a time extension.

RETURNS POLICY

My buyers have seldom found it necessary to return items but you will find me courteous and considerate in my dealings with you if a problem arises.

In this event and once return has been agreed between us items must be returned in the condition received within 14 days of that agreement (28 days for non-UK customers). On receipt of returned items a refund will be made within three working days (sooner if possible).
