I WILL SEND SOUND SAMPLES BY EMAIL UPON REQUEST MADE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME OF AUCTION CLOSE. Please check my other listings; I try to offer numerous records in the same genres at the same time. All records I sell are first cleaned and then strictly and conservatively Goldmine graded (see below). I have collected, traded and sold records for over 30 years and all records are, of course, guaranteed. All records are mailed in a brand new heavy duty Bags Unlimited cardboard box mailer with appropriate cardboard insulation, with the record separated from the jacket for mailing and both inserted in a plastic slipcover for the jacket.
FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF DOMESTIC SALES, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PAY IS INCLUDED HERE. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT FOR A MESSAGE FROM ME TO PAY. PLEASE EITHER PAY WITH PAYPAL OR NOTIFY ME THAT YOU INTEND TO MAIL PAYMENT. INTERNATIONAL POSTAL QUOTE IS BASED ON AN EBAY CALCULATED RANGE AND COULD WELL BE LESS. EMAIL FOR QUOTE OR AWAIT POSTAGE QUOTES WHEN AUCTION CLOSE. I CAN ALSO PROVIDE QUOTES BEFORE AUCTION CLOSE.
Postage, packaging and handling to anywhere in the United States is $4.00 by MEDIA MAIL for a single record and $0.50 more for each additional record up to 3. Over 3 records will be individually calculated.
Media mail with insurance is the securest and cheapest shipping and is highly recommended.
Postage, packaging and handling in the United States by PRIORITY MAIL varies considerably by the buyer’s location, as I am on the far East Coast. Email for a quote ahead of time if you wish.
International shipping varies by destination and whether air or surface mail is selected. Email for a quote ahead of time if you wish. The two dollar handling costs covers shipping materials as described above.
I accept paypal and checks.
GRADING
Goldmine grading is different from UK Record Collector Grading in that there is no Excellent grade. The grades are M, M-, Vg+, Vg and G. I don't sell records that are graded below Vg unless they are extremely rare. I AM ASTOUNDED AT HOW POORLY MANY DEALERS GRADE. I HAVE SEEN RECORDS GRADED VG+ WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT THERE IS ONE LONG SCRATCH ON A SIDE. A RECORD WITH A LONG SCRATCH IS NOT VG+. I HAVE SEEN RECORDS GRADED M- DESCRIBED AS HAVING A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES. M- RECORDS DO NOT HAVE ANY SCRATCHES! AS A BUYER, I HAVE OFTEN BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY INFLATED GRADING. YOU WILL NOT BE WHEN BUYING FROM ME. MY FEEDBACK REFLECTS THAT I MEET AND OFTEN EXCEED EXPECTATIONS OF RECORD QUALITY. SO DO NOT LET MY GRADES AND YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE FOOL YOU. I GRADE CONSERVATIVELY AND I DESCRIBE ALL DEFECTS. Here is Goldmine's (AND MY) explanation of the grades
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possible even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade if at all
Near Mint (M-)
A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sheets and the like. Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a retail record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Very Good Plus (Vg+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by cut out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good(Vg)
Many of the defects found in a Vg+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
