Conditions:

Please read my about me page before ordering.

Payment:

I will send you an invoice within two days after the auction has closed, and I expect your payment (or at least a response) within one week of invoicing.

If you pay without awaiting my invoice, the system may generate the postage costs without taking account of the discount for combined shipment.

Grading system:

• M: Mint (played but appears like new).
• M-: Close to mint, a few light rubs or other visual signs of use which do not sound.
• E: Excellent. More pronounced signs of use, slightly increased surface noise is likely.

Any distinct flaws such as scratches or marks are not part of the overall grading and will be fully described separately. Records in lesser condition than M- will normally not be listed.

Covers can be assumed to be in good condition (corresponding to M or M-) unless otherwise indicated. Small shop stickers and minor markings may not always be indicated.

Unfortunately, I cannot listen to all records before grading them. But I check by listening in cases where I am in doubt about the aural effect of any visual defect.

Postage and packing:

I will charge the amount I have to pay at the post office plus approximately $1 for packing material (I use new, very strong cardboard wrappers). The postage rates are changing quite often, and the dollar exchange rate is also rather unstable. I will state the estimated postage in the invoice.

You can find the applicable and updated postage rates here.

Insurance:

Parcels above 2 kilos are automatically insured.

Unless otherwise requested, parcels below 2 kilos will be sent uninsured by letter rate at buyer's risk. Insurance may be obtained for an extra amount of $10. I will only receive a confirmation of dispatch for insured parcels.

Stockpiling of records:

I have started to sell my collection. There are thousands of records which will be listed in small batches in due course (every 3 or 4 weeks). I will be happy to stockpile paid records in order to make postage more economical.

Please have a look at my ebay store. I will gradually expand this.
I offer discount on multiple purchases from the store, see my 'about me' page for details.
