PLEASE READ, before bidding:

= All items are from my personal collection. In most cases I am the first/original owner

= Besides being a collector, I spent many years working within the entertainment business….from selling retail, writing reviews for various publications, live DJ, Radio Disc Jockey, etc.

= Most of the items I am selling, have been played only for review, or to tape for radio play. Some items were purchased as "back-up copies", and those are generally the MINT/unopened items.

= I will try to be as clear as possible, about any known "imperfections". Such as: any drill/cut-out/promo markings, price stickers/sticker residue, unusual wear, etc. But I am human, and can error….so please review all images and ask questions.

= I will try to be as accurate with the actual item listed, such as year of release, country of origin, titles, etc. HOWEVER, if YOU are looking at the item, you most likely know what it is. If NOT, there are many resources available for further details, or please ask me.

= All photographs/scans are of the actual item. NO stock/borrowed photographs (unless under rare circumstances, and those will be noted)

= When there is a scan of the inside of an open CD/DVD, it is to show the actual item/contents….HOWEVER, since the CD/DVD does not lay flat on the scanner bed, those images usually appear somewhat out-of-focus.

= all  the watermarks "marvin2343", on images, are my ebay user name. They are just that, "watermarks", used for protection, and are NOT on the actual items.

=================================

while doing some research, as i started to prepare the sale of these records, i noticed that there were so many different grading scales, and systems. I couldn't help but think that there must be just as many different interpretations of those scales….because what one person considers a 10, another one may not. so, instead of making up another , I use the Goldmine Standard for grading the condition of Vinyl , CD . and DVD items listed. 

Two grades are given. The first is for the media (vinyl/cd-dvd disc), and the second for the cover.

I use the Goldmine Standard for grading the condition of Vinyl and CD items listed. I have also applied those grading standards to my DVD listings.

Mint (M)

Vinyl

Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. 

CD / DVD

No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl

A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling, light corner dings. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, a vinyl record in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink-wrap, handled and played it gently.  Many sellers/collectors won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. 

CD / DVD

Near perfect. No obvious signs of use. It may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by an owner(me) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.  Picture sleeves and inserts will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners/dog-eared, slight ringwear. In general, if not for a couple 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.

CD / DVD

A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations. 

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl

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 with 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. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

CD / DVD

Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl

Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,tape/sticker residue, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 

CD / DVD

There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip.
