METHODS OF PAYMENT

I normally accept payments in UK currency (Pounds Sterling) only.

UK cheques or UK Postal Orders are also accepted. Sterling bank drafts drawn on UK reciprocal bank of your own bank are acceptable (These may prove expensive!). Sterling payment via Girobank Money Order is also acceptable.

As a last resort only Pounds Sterling (GBP), US$ and euros cash are acceptable (Cash it is sent at your risk (no coins please as I can not exchange them in the UK)). If sending cash please seal the envelope well and we strongly advise use of registered post as all cash is sent at the buyers risk and the mail service has ‘Lost’ a number of payments recently.

In exceptional circumstances only Payment by Visa/MasterCard is also available. To pay by cc you need to send me: Card Type (i.e. Visa / MasterCard) Card Number, split across two e-mails for safety’s sake Exp date Card holders name as shown on card Card holders address Shipping address if different I will do the rest! Please note that due to the cost of processing cc transactions are subject to a minimum charge of £0.50.

PLEASE NO IMO’S. EUROCHEQUES OR NON-STERLING CHEQUES AS I CANNOT BANK THEM WITHOUT INCURING SIGNIFICANT COST!

LIKE WISE THE UK IS NOT PART OF THE FREE PAYMENT IBAN SYSTEM AND PAYMENTS BY THIS METHOD INCUR A MINIMUM CHARGE OF £10.00 FROM UK BANKS, THEREFORE I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT BY THIS METHOD

ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE. SORRY IF THIS SOUNDS A BIT HEAVY HANDED, BUT DUE TO INCREASING NUMBERS OF LATE PAYING AND NON-PAYING BIDDERS DEFAULTING BIDDER FEE RECOVERY PROCEDURES WILL BE COMMENCED THROUGH E-BAY AFTER THIS PERIOD AS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN RECOVER ANY PART OF THE eBay FEES FOR UNCOMPLETED TRANSACTIONS

GRADING SYSTEM

Record Collector Magazine’s (UK equivalent of Goldmine) Grading System

MINT (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed 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 scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

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

FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and or deface

POOR (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing      BAD (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler

Grading can be fine tuned by adding + or –

Jamaican Pressings

Please note that whilst we endeavour to grade accurately as you will no doubt be aware Jamaican pressings generally are not of the same quality as European and American pressings and so can have some background noise on occasion. Where we take the view that this is significant it will normally be noted in the item listing.
