New Order Movement Original 1981 Vinyl Fact 50 US 1981 Fluorescent Brown

39

Hello! Welcome to my vinyl Auction/BUY IT NOW/Single or Job-lot Listing -

**The first grade is for the media (the vinyl) and the second is for the sleeve. (E.g., VG VG+) Vinyl: There are likely to be scuffs, background noise, marks, light scratches, and occasional clicks. However, there is nothing close to being jacked up or unplayable. LP Covers /Inner Sleeves: Sleeves may have seam splits, dings, corner bends, ring wear and the like, but any major flaw (should there be any) will be outlined in the description. Printed inner sleeves may have seam splits, fraying, rips, and bends. Age plays a huge part in the condition of a record. My vinyl listings are almost always comprised of 40+ year-old records, which is worth bearing in mind**

NEW ORDER - MOVEMENT (US, 1981, Factory (US) FACTUS 50, B Music, Album) VG+ VG

Late 1981 US repress: No barcode or catalogue number. Issued with plain inner sleeve (some have the Factory anvil.) Not in shrink wrap. The vinyl is really good, it sounds excellent. The cover has faded quite a bit with a little corner wear. A little sticker residue on the label (see photos.) Fluorescent brown wax when held up to a strong light

PLEASE... PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING!!

The following guidelines apply to all my vinyl record listings. I grade each record individually using the Discogs goldmine grading guide, which many of you will be aware of. For those who aren’t, please see the guide at the end of this item description or visit How to Grade Items: Determine the Condition of Records on the Discogs website. I have been as accurate and transparent as possible in terms of grading. Although I've sold records in the past, I’ve never been a professional seller as such. If there is a problem, it will be my oversight rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead. I have stated the year, label, region of pressing, and other details, but not always whether it’s the first, second, third, etc. issue.) Overall, I have tended to be conservative with the grading, which has been partly visual - I have given it my best shot. I do not claim to be infallible. I know what each of my listed records is worth (certainly a ballpark figure.) However, please feel free to make an offer (if available.) All serious offers will be considered, so don't be shy. And by that, I don't mean knocking off fifty dollars on a ninety-dollar listing, or something equally as derisory. I do like to offer a bargain, but you know, there's a limit to my generosity.

***IMPORTANT SHIPPING AND PACKAGING INFORMATION***

Please allow FIVE business days for shipping. Generally, I only mail on the weekend - though I do my best to mail midweek. I work as a high school teacher which often (including during summer) makes weekday visits to the post office impossible. I will always keep you informed of the shipping progress. I keep shipping and handling costs to a minimum but in the last year or so rising mail prices and the ever-more costly packaging materials mean the overall shipping costs have somewhat increased. The shipping price includes packing materials and time. I combine shipping.

Check my feedback for reassurance. Over two separate accounts, I first started buying and selling on eBay in October 2003. During that time, I have yet to receive any negative, or even neutral, feedback (Although, there's usually a first time for everything.) Please be so kind as to contact me before leaving any negative feedback. I will always try and find an agreeable solution for you. 

If you have any questions, please ask and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Also, if you'd like more photos, let me know and I will sort them - close-ups of LPs, sleeves, things like that, no problem. Please note that if you are new to eBay or have less than five feedback or downright crumby feedback, please message me before bidding. I reserve the right not to sell or respond to those people I suspect to be scammers. I will not engage with those who are impolite, abrasive, or employ unwarranted profanity. This applies to both pre-sale and post-sale, should you get that far.

PAYPAL PAYMENT VERY MUCH PREFERRED

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BIDDING

DOMESTIC ITEMS SENT BY MEDIA MAIL UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUESTED: FOR ANY SPECIAL SHIPPING REQUEST, THE BUYER COVERS THE EXTRA SHIPPING COST OVER THE AMOUNT LISTED. QUOTED SHIPPING AND HANDLING RATE IS FOR USA CUSTOMERS ONLY

If any of the above notes and descriptions are not to your liking - please don't buy or bid. Very occasionally, buyers complain about something clearly stated in the listing. I find such complaints as infuriating as students who moan about a grade when it’s clear they haven’t fully read the question

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY VINYL LISTINGS - AND THE PAINTINGS ARE MY WORK

Cheers!

GRADING GUIDE PART A

GRADING GUIDE PART B (DISCOGS)

Mint (M)

The item and container are perfect in every way. To qualify as mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not be in mint condition.

Near Mint (NM)

The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects, but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are cosmetic and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound almost the same as a near-mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect play.

Very Good (VG)

The item’s defects will be more pronounced. 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. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels, covers, and sleeves may be marred by writing or have attached tape, stickers, and residue. However, a VG item will not have all these problems simultaneously.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

An item in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, crackling, or visible wear. A container, cover, or sleeve will have scratches or seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, or other defects will also be present.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

The item is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The container or cover could be cracked, water-damaged, and heavily marred by wear or writing. If it is a vinyl record, the album covers and inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. Based only on this condition, poor (P) or fair (F) records are generally worth very little.
