    For Sale: Vintage Vinyl Bundles

    I think the best way to build a collection of vinyl is to buy in bulk at very good prices and discover some music you may not have thought about purchasing. Buying in bulk also keeps shipping down. To package it right and cover costs of materials my price and cost per LP for selling singles on ebay was $4.50. You don’t just throw an LP in a pizza box and call it a day.

    These bundles will be listed here first then on Head-Fi in a day or so if not sold. If they end up on eBay they will be higher due to fees. Payment is via Paypal with no extra fees or net to me bullshit! All will be shipped media mail to save you $$.

    All my vinyl has been played on good equipment and taken care of through the years. Discwasher, Last Factory preservative, great cartridges, etc. All the vinyl here is either Goldmine visually graded conservatively for the vinyl at VG to VG+ for the most part with some covers below that level. I will point out any vinyl condition that fall below this level and the price will be lower, of course.

    Here is the standard disclaimer I use just in case you might be expecting new $20 perfection on a used vintage record.

    Used vinyl records may have the occasional snap, crackle, or tic it is the nature of the media, regardless of rating. Also all used vinyl can never be perfectly flat. While these are characteristics are inherent to the media, please understand all vinyl I sell is visually graded using the Goldmine standards shown below. Also note that liner sleeves may have small seam splits on one or more sides due to the course of normal handling. These will not be noted in the description. All albums with a Last Sticker on the label have been preserved with the Last Factory vinyl Preservative.

    NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

    NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

    VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

    VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

    VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.

    VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

    Good (G),
    Good Plus (G+)
    or Very Good Minus (VG–)

    Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.

    Bundles will follow this post in this thread. Thanks for looking!
