Too bad about this cover ... it's horrendous ... 

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG- (5.5 of 10) 63rd address (no trademark), deep groove, ear marks, RVG hand etched, MONO copy -- the works. Surface isn't all that bad. After seeing the cover, I assumed it was completely trashed. A bit of scuffing, and some scattered dull marks on each side. Plays fairly clean with a little chatter here and there. 2 feelable marks side two -- fairly small (one is a small squiggle). Photos reflect condition decently. Pretty sure the labels are awful because of a botched cleaning job -- my assumption in any case.
COVER: G- (1.0 of 10) Awful. Lots of gloss peeling. Tape slapped on all seams ... hurting for sure ... _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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 compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to 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
