$

205

NOTE: I'll allow Ebay overseas shipping program only for international orders. I ship to a distribution location, and they handle from there -- and I believe it's fairly expensive. So check before hand.

So this isn't a TOP copy ... but man does it get pretty close. 

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) OG Black/silver deep groove MONO pressing. A little paper scuffing and non-threatening whisp marks. This record is a phenomenal playing record. It's fanastic. ... I hardly noticed any defects at all. A light tick or something maybe every now and then? It's a great copy.
COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Beautiful cover. Look at that gloss! Very little wear, great corners, no splits or anything ... very nice copy. ... don't miss. _______ 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 Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for 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. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
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

ATTENTION: I had a request to explain the "whisp" marks are. Here we go: Yes, I photographed them as plainly as I can to set expectations that there were imperfections on the surface of this record. However, each one of these whisp marks are as light as possible. Each one. Nothing got past the very surface. This LP plays fantastic. As mentioned, a small tick here or there. But nothing that would make you think this is anything less than a very solid VG+ record. Also, to put individuals at east, returns are indeed possible with this record. 

Update for the UPDATE: Yeah .... I just spot tested each track all over again .... it is an absolute rock steady record. Buyer will be pleased with this one, even despite the visual whisps. It sounds amazing.
