Please note I'm not a professional seller or collector. I'm just unloading some of my old stuff and describing these items the best I can. In the case of records I'm selling, I've studied up on other record sellers' items and I'm grading conservatively and carefully. Please also note I'm grading records visually only -- I haven't played them in many years. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I generally don't take returns, but I definitely want to please, so if you encounter any problem or have any complaint, please contact me before posting feedback and I'll do what I can to make it right. I ship records via USPS Mail in a standard record box with cardboard inserts, bubble wrap, etc. International bidders should contact me about shipping costs -- it can vary by a lot. I'll combine shipping for multiple items, of course, if I can. I accept PayPal only, thank you. I often have other other auctions running! Check 'em out!
