SALE PRICE STATEMENT
I do not price my items based on sales history, especially when it comes to Imports. These records sell for much cheaper prices across the pond, yet reflect on the overall (US) sales analysis. Most items listed by overseas sellers, include a substantial shipping fee for U.S. purchases. However, shipping charges do not figure into the sale price of that item. This should always be considered, although it is often not.

GRADING
Most records are visually graded, I do not play them, unless I see what could be an issue. Please understand, grading is subjective, what one calls Near Mint another calls Mint, and vice versus. There are also imperfections on records that come straight from the factory. For instance, I had 4 copies of the same release which all contained 3 marks, in the exact same place, on all four copies. So, if you want more specific info on anything that I am selling, please message me and ask questions, prior to making a purchase. Especially if you are a collector, not a DJ, that is concerned about writing, wrinkles, stains or punches on the jacket, sleeve or center label. In addition, I do not downgrade records for discoloration of the vinyl, press swirls, cloudy spots, surface blemishes or any other factory flaws that do not affect the playback quality of the vinyl (see https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/sound-advice-when-are-record-flaws-not-really-flaws). If you have any problems after you receive your order, please me before leaving . I only want happy customers.

For those who are unfamiliar with grading:

Mint (M) - I'm getting away from this grade as it is HIGHLY subjective. Many say that it is impossible to find such a record. If you see one of my records with this grade, please inquire before purchasing.

Near Mint (NM) - Nearly perfect. Record is clean and shiny with possibly one or two minor scuffs. Cover has no distracting flaws and is clean and new looking with only the most minor signs of wear.

Excellent (EX) - Record is clean and can have a few minor surface scuffs or loss of some gloss. Cover can show only slight signs of shelf or ring wear, or have minor edge wear or small corner dings but no major flaws.

Very Good Plus (VG+) - Record could have some surface scuffs or light scratches but should still look well cared for. A VG+ record should not have any skips. Cover will show signs of handling and could show some ring, edge, corner or shelf wear, but have no seam splits.

VG (VG) - Record will show signs of use. There could be loss of vinyl luster and surface scuffs and marks, but no deep scratches. The cover could have creases, small seam splits, corner and edge wear, but still be usable and not falling apart.

Good (G) - A record that will play but would have scratches, loss of gloss, some warping or other defects. Cover will have many noticeable defects and not look like it would be in a collection. This is usually a rarer record one might have until a better copy is found.
