Listen:

I'm a longtime collector, not a professional dealer. The items I'm auctioning are coming from my collection. I remember the feeling of listening to some of these records for the first time; hopefully now I will be passing that feeling on to some of you. I'm also familiar with the feeling of receiving a record in worse condition than described and feeling cheated; I have no desire to have any transaction end that way here. Every record here is visually inspected and play-graded and will be shipped in sturdy record mailers. I'm selling off some of my records because I sadly need the money, but it's also my aim that the record brings you happiness and not regret. I'm putting up some killer rarities so please check my other auctions for more soul, funk, jazz, Latin, Brazilian, African goodness now and over the next months. My scale goes: S/S (still sealed), M-, VG+, VG, VG-, G, F. 

Payment:

Paypal preferred. Personal checks only from US buyers with feedback rating over 100; item will not be shipped until check clears. Payment to be made within seven days of auction's close. I will send you an invoice at the end of the auction. If you have won multiple items please wait for my invoice because eBay checkout will probably give you an incorrect shipping total. Buyers with less than 20 feedbacks should contact me before bidding for approval or your bid may be canceled! I do not end auctions early.
