Grading …

We use the Goldmine system just like everyone else.  If you are a collector you are familiar with it … it’s been around for years.

For LPs not in the collectable category, everything under $10 and most between $10 and $30, you are probably buying the LP just to enjoy.  So we try to note anything in this price range that will impact the listening experience.  The Goldmine system is really set-up for collectors who want to judge the condition just like you would a stamp or coin.  So once an LP gets below a VG+ in this system the LP will have some visible scuffs and scratches.  If the LP is rare enough it may still be worth lots of money.  But it may sound terrible.  Keep this in mind when comparing price and condition if you are buying more for pleasure.

Here is one other note on the listening experience.  Special attention is given to promos and early pressings and they are typically more expensive than the same commercially released equivalent.  The promo is not priced higher just because it is rare.  When a new LP is released the first pressings were sent out to the radio stations and DJs.  These are the promos and because they are the first pressings off the dies the sound quality may be significantly better than the commercial release.  

Shipping ...

We use LP boxes for all shipments …

US

We ship LPs via USPS media mail.  The first LP is $3.98 and 50 cents for each additional LP.  Allow a week to get to the East Coast.  We try to make up for the added time by getting the orders out the door in a hurry and it seems to work.  If you need it quicker contact us for pricing.

Canada

We use USPS First Class International and it is $7.99 for the first LP, $3.50 each additional.  Quicker gets very expensive but if you need it let us know.

All other International locations

We use USPS First Class International and it is $14.99 for the first LP, $5.00 each additional.  Quicker options are extremely expensive but available if needed. 

Payment

We are pretty flexible ... all we really ask is you let us know what is going on.  If you are shopping around, or bidding on an auction at the same time you are buying from the store, just give us a heads up when you expect to finish.  Actually, we would rather you wait to pay until finished since PayPal does charge for every transaction.  So to offer the lowest possible combined shipping it works best to combine purchases under a single invoice.
