NOTE: I'll allow Ebay overseas shipping program only for international orders. I ship to a distribution location, and they handle from there -- and I believe it's fairly expensive. So check before hand.

Here's a badass record: Rare Closet Mix also!

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Closet Mix -- What Goes On track time is 3:35 on label, 4:52 on cover. There's a little paper scuffing, and one mark on side 1, track 1 ... light popping on that track. After that, it's a pretty great play with very little interruption generally. Only a really light crackle here or there. Pretty solid vinyl
COVER: Strong VG (7.0 of 10) Decent cover ... lower VG+/Strong VG. No splits, but a lot of seam and spine wear. THere's a little ringwear also. Overall, it's good and holding together, but fragile. Presents well. _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I'll be shipping via eBay international shipping program only.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
