Goldmine grading system. Item has been visually graded. If you would like us to play-grade the item, please email us.

Any item sold as STILL SEALED cannot be returned unless it is STILL SEALED. No exceptions.

Grading: We are conservative graders and try to be as concise and as accurate as possible without a lot of the standard hype.  We will never explain the condition of an item by saying it "looks good for something this old" as we consider that patronizing and an insult to potential buyers. Please ask us questions about any details about the item before bidding.

Packaging: All items are professionally packaged with high quality unused materials for shipment. No items will ever be loose in their shipping cartons. Records that are not sealed in their original shrink-wrap will never be shipped in their original jackets. All vinyl will be in poly-lined sleeves and outside of their original jackets so that no seam splitting can result from the shipping process.

Feedback: We consider a transaction complete when the customer has received the item and is content. Once positive feedback is received, we will promptly return it in kind. If there is a problem with an item purchased from us, please contact us within 5 days of receipt. We will ask that the item be returned to us, and as soon as we receive the item back and it is in the same condition as sent by us, we will promptly refund the original purchase price and shipping charge. Communication is extremely important to us and we stand behind our product 100%.
