However, I cannot have the items I present for auction become a liability or be taken hostage by poor bidding behavior.

Unless a record is sealed or otherwise specified ALL vinyl is cleaned with a VPI 16.5 and PLAY GRADED (the most relevant way to grade in my opinion) SHIPPING WILL ALWAYS BE COMBINED!!! Please request an invoice on multiple purchases, or go ahead and purchase individually and receive a refund on surplus payment. CD, Cassette and Vinyl Grading Scale Practices: Mint (M)VinylAbsolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. CD Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed. Cassette J-Card is crisp, clean and perfect in every way. Likely sealed. Cassette is brand new, and professionally produced. Used sparingly as a grade, should be free of even the slightest blemishes and/or defects. This grade should be used sparingly, if at all. Near Mint (NM or M-)VinylA nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. CDNear perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling. CassetteSleeve should be totally crisp and clean with only the slightest evidence of handling. Tape is likely new, free of any wear or damage. Very Good Plus (VG+) VinylGenerally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. CD A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).CassetteSleeve has slight wear, marks, indentations, and/or may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar). Tape has been taken very good care of and may have light marks or spindle wear. Should play cleanly with minimal noise or degradation. Very Good (VG) VinylGenerally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. CDQuite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.CassetteSleeve will contain more wear, marks, and/or indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing. Shell may have heavier marks and wear than VG including plastic discoloration. Should play with some stronger hiss or degradation, but not enough to overpower music. Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Vinyl Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. CD There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip.CassetteSleeve will be well worn, marked, and contain obvious indentations, fading, and/or writing, more so than a VG grade - possibly a more significant tear/rip. Tape will have heavy wear on shell. Felt stopper may be missing. Tape may have minor creasing, but not broken. Must play through, may have heavier degradation that will overpower music. Poor (P), Fair (F)Vinyl Generally worth 0-5% of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. CD The CD may or may not play some or all of the tracks. See the seller's comments for details.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.Cassette Sleeve will be torn, heavily stained, showing general heavy damage, or will be partially missing. Likewise, tape will be heavily damaged, showing complete fading on the face, crinkled tape, missing screws or teeth, staining, and other heavy wear. Cassette will more than likely not play through. Standard Jewel Cases: Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable. GenericWithin the context of grading items in the Discogs Marketplace, the term "generic" refers to a type of sleeve that is not specific to the release. A generic sleeve is either a plain sleeve or a company sleeve with standard company artwork. A sleeve that is graded as "generic" needs no further grading, as a generic sleeve generally adds little value to the item and can be easily replaced. Sellers can further specify a generic sleeve's condition in the “Item condition comment” field if needed. A seller can also note if the sleeve is a company sleeve in the “Item condition comment” field. Clutter Bravado Records, Collectibles and Not Otherwise Specified Curiosities: Hello everyone, and thank you for checking my eBay Store out! I am an appreciator of everything I sell, so I would like to say a few words: My Goal of Selling Here is to Get Items in the Hands of Those Who Enjoy Them the Most. Over many years I have amassed great collections of things, and had many great, wonderful and interesting experiences with those I interacted with to obtain the items I sell. I came to realize the enjoyment in doing any of this is the experiences and making things that much more available to those who don't have the passion for the hunt as I do. eBay is Often "Seller-Murky" and It's Important to Rely on Sellers You Trust: I have been an active eBay member since 1999. That's over 25 years experience here. I know that when I have experiences as a buyer, finding a consistent seller is extremely important. I hope to show you as a customer I am trustworthy, worth a follow, and worth consideration on any item you're searching for. I Hope My Reputation Here Speaks for Itself Through Great Experiences with my Customer Base: I am the most bare bones brick and mortar store and often do the ENTIRE process of business exchanges solo. The benefit of this is I get to have more personal interactions through the process with my customers. You know who you're talking with in a seller interaction, and I hope it speaks to how important a professional, yet personal and genuine interaction with my customers is. Contact Me! I can be contacted at any time through eBay messages if you have any questions, comments or product requests. Payment eBay standard methods. I WILL NOT do business outside of an eBay listing. Shipping Standard eBay policies apply. Please see above section as well. Disclaimer I reserve the right to cancel any winning bid where the item revenue does not meet the cost to ship. My apologies in advance, but I will not pay to give an item to anyone. I hope everyone reads this and understands. Thanks for Looking!!!
