Any record or combination of records that exceeds $75 in value will be sent with international tracking at the bidder’s expense. For a one pound box (approx. one LP plus packaging) overseas the minimum charge is $31, to be determined at end of auction. IN ADDITION, if any box exceeds 4 pounds I am required by the USPS to use Priority Air Mail instead of standard air mail for your shipment; I will quote you the proper price in your invoice.
I will not under-report value on customs forms: Please. Do. Not. Ask!
Special note about BOX SETS for overseas bidders: BOX SETS TEND TO BE HEAVY; they also frequently include booklets that can weigh almost a pound by themselves. They also require EXTRA packing material to ensure that the box is not crushed in transit. I need to assess the individual freight charge on every box set, so please wait for my invoice. I will not ship more than two box sets together to avoid damage that might result; these will have to ship and be paid for separately.
Records are shipped in mailers with cardboard stiffeners, the vinyl packed outside of sleeve to prevent seam splits. Box sets have their contents removed, the box is reinforced with packing material.
PAYMENT:
Paypal only.
GRADING:
I use NM/EX/VG+/VG/VG-. I generally won't sell anything under VG-.
Near Mint means it looks basically new; vinyl is shiny with zero discernable marks.
EX means light wear to vinyl or sleeve, nothing distracting.
VG+ is a small seam split perhaps, or more wear on the edges, marks on the vinyl that sound noisy on very quiet sections.
VG is a typical used record, wear on most edges, maybe a sizeable split seam, vinyl looks worn or plays with some noise, pops in more than a few spots but is NOT trashed i.e.; most European seller's VG+.
VG- A playable/presentable placeholder until a nicer copy comes along
