MY REFERENCES
My references are the over 2,370 FEEDBACKS from different buyers (positive ones minus negative ones) that have won my "VISUALLY GRADED" vinyl auctions on eBay. I am lpsand45s on (www.ebay.com) since 1999.
VISUAL GRADES I use are:
nm ... looks new;
nm- ... looks almost new;
m- (or better) ... looks very nice;
m- ... looks nice; or
g ... looks good.
Four of my visual grades have been used for over 30 years. ***On 3/8/2008 I added nm- {looks almost new}***. I hope you will understand that SOME RECORDS graded m- (or better), IF GRADED TODAY, would be graded nm-.
REFUND POLICY: I rarely offer refunds so I probably won't. I buy and sell records based on my "visual perceptions". I don't offer audible grades because I have not played them. If a record is overgraded, I won't get a second order from that buyer. Ouch!

ORDERING & SHIPPING COSTS
I try to promptly delete "sold records" but sometimes forget. Please check on the availability of your selection (s) before sending payment. Write me at lpsand45s@webtv.net the 5-digit catalog number before a 45 OR lp and the 5-digit catalog number before an album that you are interested in. $3.25 SHIPS one 45 by First Class postage in the U.S.A.
$4.25 SHIPS one LP by Media Mail postage in the U.S.A. The vinyl will be removed from the cover to prevent or reduce seam and/or spine splitting.
Multiple or foreign orders will need a price quote.
Volume buyers, who over time have bought 30 records from me, have been rewarded by an offer of 33 1/3% off all future purchases. It just occured to me (8/1/09) to tell everyone from the start so they may plan accordingly. I currently have six volume buyers.

FREEFIND FEATURE
Type in: 1. "Artist's Name (s)" {in quotation marks}; 2. "Song Title" {in quotation marks}; or 3. [Record Company with ID#] {in brackets}. If my website has any records by this artist, it will show which webpages those records are on. If you're lucky, you'll see the 5-digit number (with or without lp in front) and won't have to scan a few hundred other records. If my website has that song, it will indicate on which webpage (s) that song can be found. Once again, if you're lucky, the 5-digit number will be revealed so you won't have to scan a few hundred records on that webpage. NUMBER THREE ABOVE [RCA xxxx], [RCA LM-xxxx] or RCA [LSP-xxxx] is my favorite way to look for a record when I know the company & ID#.
