My ratings for records strive to be simple, accurate, tend to be conservative,and are as follows.  No plus or minusmarks, double plus or triple plus! Please note: if I have not recently played the record, my assessment issolely based on a visual inspection under a strong light, and obviously, myratings could be out of whack.

Fair (F): minor scratches, scuffs, some manufacturing defects, no skips.
Poor (P): numerous scratches, scuffs - a few isolated skips (I willoffer records with a small number of skips only if the item is somewhat rare -and the skip may be “worked around” with better playback equipment than Ihave).
ForRecord Jackets:

Itemis sold as is.  If youhave a problem with the listing then let me know before bidding – especially ifI have made an error or have not been able to find definitive informationregarding a listing.  Any missed issuesor discrepancies in the listing on my part will be resolved before the recordis shipped.  Returns will only beaccepted based on a misrepresentation or omission on my part – not, forinstance, on a difference of opinion on what is or is not a scuff or ascratch.  I will refund all postage –but Buyer is required to send back item in same box and using the same methodof shipping.  Refund will be issuedafter I have received item.  If you donot like these requirements look elsewhere. Finally, there are no returns for International Orders.

Please note that I only do minimal cleaning of records and recommend that thebuyer clean and/or repair the record or jacket according to theirpreference.  My records have been storedfor an extended period of time in a cool, dry, basement and may have some finedirt or dust on its surface and static buildup, especially records that havebeen played before.  I usually wipe theouter jacket and disk with a damp lint-free cloth.  This is not a deep groove cleaning of the disk and thereusually is some small buildup of dust and static on the vinyl’s surface.  I usually catch my fingerprints.

Shipping: Buyer to pay actual shipping charges to be determined afterthe end of auction.  Please note: thereis a $1.00 handling charge (includes inserts and shipping box).  Packages will be shipped Media Mail –postage does not include insurance, which is extra, if desired.  Media Mail does include tracking.  Will use Priority Mail if quicker shippingis purchased by buyer.  Priority Maildoes include insurance and tracking. Paypal accepted for payment (but ask about other forms of payment).  Any item over $25 and shipped Media Mail hasto be insured by the buyer.

Cautionary note on Sealed Records
Not all sealed records are in Mint, Excellent or even Very Good condition.  An LP’s jacket that is sealed with shrinkwrap may have obvious signs of cover wear and may be marred by a punched hole(of varying sizes), narrow slits, or a clipped corner (also of varying sizes),which automatically detract from the cover’s rating.  Sometime a small brass plug was used in the cover to denote acut-out.  These types of marks indicatethe record was taken out of circulation and sold at discount.  Evidently record distributorsre-shrunk-wrapped the record as can be seen on LPs where the new plasticcovers the cut-out hole and/or other obvious damage.  Re-wrapping may result in bent corners andother minor damage to cover.  Also, tobe sure, there is always the possibility that a used record has beenre-shrink-wrapped by someone to upgrade the appearance and value of arecord.  As for the disk itself, anotherthing to be considered is the quality of the disk’s original manufacture - Ihave had recent experience of playing records for the first time that containedscuffs, scratches, and skips.  I am notsure if this was the result of the record being second hand, damaged duringhandling, poor manufacturing standards, or simply, due to my playback equipment– which is definitely not state of the art! With this in mind, please note that if a record is sealed I cannotverify the condition of the disk.
