FLEETWOOD MAC 1968 1st LP with Peter Green NM vinyl

I have not sold on ebay for a couple of years.  My feedback was 100%, the vast majority of which was in buying/selling records.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Record Grading is a subjective endeavor!  Sellers tend to over-grade, buyers tend to under-grade.  Honesty, attention to detail and complete accuracy are the only ways to counteract this problem.

Visual Grading   under a bright light is absolutely necessary!  Any record looks near mint in the dark.

Play Grading      is everything.  I have had pristine looking records play crackly, and have had scratchy looking records play surprisingly cleanly.

Label

Descriptions       are a must.  It can be very frustrating to see a listing of a copy of (for example) Iron Butterfly’s In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, that tells you nothing of the label.  Is it an original purple & brown label, a 2nd issue yellow ‘1841 Broadway’ address label, a 3rd issue yellow ‘Rockefeller Plaza’ address label, or an even later gray label?#!??

Sealed Records I will never knowingly sell a re-sealed record.  I have been burned in the past, and know the frustration.  However, once you buy a sealed record, and open it, I just cannot offer a refund if you don’t like what you got.  Unless I witness the opening, there is simply no way for me to know if what you send back is what I sent you.  If I have suspicions about a sealed record, I will either not sell it, or relate my suspicions in the listing.

Purchasing a record sight-unseen can be very rewarding, or can be very disappointing. 

My goal is very simple.  To have every buyer finish the deal happy!

Vinyl – Visual Grade:    NM                 Under a bright light, both sides show full gloss.  Side 1 has nothing to mention at all.  Side 2 has a single hair line that cannot be felt with the finger.

Vinyl – Play Grade:        NM                 My play grade notes say that it is an exceptionally clean play!

Label Grade:                    NM                 Both labels are a nice near mint.

Comments:                       This is the first LP by the first version of this group, which concentrated on the blues.  Peter Green played guitar on this album.

I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM:

                                                                                    For those who prefer a #’d system

Mint*--------------------------------------(M)------------------9.5 – 10.0

Near Mint---------------------------------(NM)------------------8.5 – 9.0

Very Good Plus Plus--------------------(VG++)-----------------7.0 – 8.0

Very Good Plus--------------------------(VG+)----------------------5.0 – 6.5

Very Good--------------------------------(VG)---------------------3.5 – 4.5

Good---------------------------------------(G)---------------------2.0 – 3.0

Poor--------------------------------------- (P)-------------------1.0 – 1.5

* - Due to the nature of the beast, genuine Mint vinyl records are an extreme rarity!
