Checkout/Payment: You’re kindly asked not to rush onto the PayPal “Pay Now” button (especially when you’re winning more than one item) but wait for our invoice instead. We will invoice all winners at the end of each auction with the correct combined P&P cost. It’s in your own interest to follow this guideline please (it only requires little patience) because will not process any PayPal refunds except for exceptional circumstances  

About us: Our descriptions are economic in their wording & limited to the essentials. We hardly use phrasing such as “awesome” coupled with thousands of exclamation marks as a matter of self-respect.

Grading 
For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale with very occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.

Generally speaking:
MINT (M) a sealed record
NEAR MINT (NM) ultra shiny and clean but opened. No marks
EX+: practically NM, but for maybe 1 very, very light, non-sounding wispy sleeve mark seen under bright light 
EX: couple very light, non-sounding wispy sleeve marks seen under bright light  
VG++: few more light marks without any significant audio impact
VG+ : still shiny w/ few more light marks; maybe the odd pop during play but nothing unpleasant 
VG: more of the above; still a very decent audio. For lesser grades refer to my item description
 
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.

Payment
PAYPAL (invoice currency), UK Personal or Postal cheques & IMOs in £, are all accepted and goods shall be dispatched promptly at no extra charge

Packing
All records are securely packed & shipped in protective plastic sleeves out of their jackets & inners, to avoid seam splits in transit (no cost or time spared)
