Payment 

Please don't buy unless you are ready to pay. 

If a buyer does not pay, message me, or respond to invoices/messages within 2 days of the purchase date, I've no option but to open an unpaid item case. 

If you know you will not be able to pay right away, please message me up-front and I will check if I can reserve items for you and then list when you are ready.  

Thanks to the 95% who do pay as expected ???????? 

Shipping 

Usually within 2 Days, sometimes a bit longer if I'm very busy (Part time sole trader) Please ignore the stated 10 days, this is to avoid eBay late shipment penalties which lower my performance level and impact the prices and service I can provide to buyers. 

Well packaged in appropriate protective packaging

Vinyl removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits 

Combined shipping always - please ask 

l don't make money on shipping but eBay and PayPal do charge full fees on shipping costs so I have to factor this in ????

Vinyl Care/Preparation

I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution using a goat-hair vinyl brush and suitable cloths and vacuuming off the liquid.   This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. 

Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 

Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 

Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to digital - free download provided for digital collection if you'd like this.  

All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money! For this reason, I am not the cheapest on eBay and don't want to be. All offers are considered but please don't expect me to give stuff away :)
