All items that I sell are "AS-IS" only, unless otherwise stated.   I will NOT refund based on condition of an item since I describe the items, pointing out flaws, provide quality photos, and offer the chance for you to request additional photos and more detailed descriptions.

Grading Criteria:

SS - Still Sealed For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

M - Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.

NM - Near Mint - In factory fresh condition, like new.

EX+ - Close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

EX - A used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear but plays great.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few scuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - Significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.

Good - In the record world, "Good" is not good! From here on down, we're talking about beat-up records!
