WHAT YOU ARE BUYING:

MEDIA & COVER CONDITION:

• The grading system is slightly DIFFERENT from Goldmine's standard. Years ago these were all visually and most (I can't promise all), were play graded. Before listing, I give another visual grade under proper lighting, but I did not play grade since it likely was already done. To avoid grading conflicts I typically will list one grade lower.
  
  
• Cover:  I don't grade covers, rather I take picutes of significant damage.  
  
  
• If you would like to see additional pictures of the cover, label etc. message me, and I'd be happy to send to you

• Multiple copy listing:  Your purchase may not be the exact pictured copy.  Your copy will have the same general cover condition.  I create separate listings if there are the significant quality differences.  For example, if there are factory stickers, rips in the shrinkwrap, or significant creases/bends, I will create a separate listing.  You are always welcome to request pix of the exact item before you purchase.

SHIPPING COSTS

• All domestic shipping is done through USPS Media Mail.  Please note that due to the global pandemic, shipping times could be delayed.
  
• Combined shipping for domestic buyers must be requested before paying.  BEFORE you pay, please send me a message and request a combined shipping invoice. 
  
• 1st LP = $4.00 // each additional LP/2LP = $1.00
  
• International shipping is handled through eBay's Global Shipping Program. I can not adjust for a combined shipping discount via the Global Shipping Program. If you would like combined shipping contact me in advance for an alternate shipping method.

RETURNS

I accept returns, with the buyer's responsibility to cover return shipping costs. I do expect any returns to be as carefully package as it came to you.  Media grading is obviously contentious and can be subject to individuals' standards and opinions to an extent.  If you don't agree with my media grading, simply send me a direct message and I will send you a full refund once the record has been returned.  NO QUESTIONS ASKED.  I would much prefer happy and loyal customers that can buy with confidence.  

PROFESSIONAL SHIPPING CARE:

• All orders will be carefully packaged with cardboard inserts and/or bubble wrap, protected corners, poly-protective sleeve when appropriate, fragile stickers on mailer, etc.  Used vinyl is properly sandwiched to prevent split seams.

Background 

The vinyl listings on my eBay store The Vinyl and Collectible Shop are from my late husband's business stock inventory that was around 80,000 records (separate from his world-renown personal collection of 20,000+ originals).  At present, what's for sale are about 20-30,000 fantastic condition business stock vinyl.  My husband had been seriously collecting jazz instrumental and jazz vocal LPs since the 1950s.  He was a radio jazz DJ for 40+ years as well as a jazz promoter.  He has contributed to many jazz discographies and other jazz publications as well as radio, movies, and television.  He was the recipient of several jazz awards.  Also, he was the representative of the famous jazz artist David Stone Martin. The records that will be listed are only a fraction of the greater collection that includes rare and out of print jazz Lps and highly sought collectible jazz literature and artwork to collectors and institutes worldwide.
