Description
I'm selling some of my personal collection of rare records. Most of them are imports and are the best sounding versions that are available of each album. I have taken good care of my records by putting them in plastic outer sleeves and storing them vertically. I always clean my records with a VPI with Audio Intelligent fluids, sprayed them with an anti static gun and then put them in MoFi inner sleeves. I have always played them on quality audio equipment and have used a carbon fiber brush before each play. However, I am not the original owner of my record collection, so any faults are caused by previous owner(s). Although I'm quite a new seller, I'm a careful record collector and grader. My feedback shows for it.

THE VINYL
VISUAL
G+ (NOT TRASH; GRADED VERY CONSERVATIVELY)
Very scuffy. Also has nasty spiral scratches on each side.
AUDIO
VG (VG is not trash by my standards, unlike other sellers)
Static in the run-in. Light crackling in some quiet parts and between tracks. There is a sequence of ticks at the end of track A2 and the beginning of A3. Track A3 is has crackling. There is also a scratch at the end of track B3 that is barely audible. The rest sounds nice and clean. Overall, sounds better than it looks

THE INNER SLEEVE VG+
ORIGINAL PICTURED INNER WITH CREDITS (1 INCH SEAM SPLIT ON SIDE)
POSTAGE DETAILS:
I ship my records through USPS Media Mail. I use professional record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. I will put the record and inner sleeve outside of the cover to avoid seam splits during shipping.
