Description
So the album is VG-, but it sounds so damn good ... It's not so much scratches, but this copy has a lot of scuffing. Can't hear any noise when it's loud, but you most certainly hear it in the quiet passages ... but when it kicks, this damn thing kicks.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG- (4.5 of 10) Lots of scuffing. Maybe a few light scratches, but this copy certainly led a life without an inner sleeve. You won't hear anything but music during actual kick-ass rocking, but you will during quiet passages ...
COVER: VG+ (is 7.5 of 10) Cover is solid. Minimal wear. No splits, and generally looks great. ... it's just that someone ignored proper storage and care of the vinyl itself. _________________________________________________________________ Now the standard messages:
GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.
CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on MY own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.
TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. I describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
