Optional - the name of the best person to answer questions

Selling online since 1998.

Based in Australia. Although there are many items from around the world, the majority of what you'll find me listing are Australian pressings. When compared to their related releases in the US and Europe, Australian pressings were generally in limited numbers, due to the much smaller market / population here. This can make them harder to find particularly in top condition.

Unlike some countries, Australian record companies tended to have only one issue of a particular 7 inch single release, which would get deleted within a few months. Of course, some major artists like Elvis, Beatles etc. were the exceptions, and would remain available for years through various repressings and reissues.

Optional - the "About Me / About Us" page. Be descriptive as you like about your interests, background, hobbies, area of expertize etc. If this is the profile page of your business, include such things as location, years of operation, if you buy collections etc.

- HOW I GRADE ITEMS FOR SALE - You'll never see an item graded as "MINT" from me. "MINT" implies that the item is fresh from the manufacturer and never played. Every record I have is play tested before sale. So M- (Mint Minus) is the highest grading I post. Unlike in the US, pre-2000 Australian vinyl was never sold at retail sealed or shrink wrapped.

- RECORD COMPANY GENERIC SLEEVES FOR 7 INCH SINGLES - I have a lifetime's knowledge of collecting Australian vinyl records to know which generic record company diecut paper sleeve belongs to a particular record. If I don't happen to possess the correct diecut sleeve in reasonable condition, I'll let you know before the sale is completed. So take it for granted that each 45 rpm record comes with its correct company paper sleeve. I can't always say this will be the case with non-Australian pressings I sell, since that's not my area of expertise or I simply don't have the appropriate sleeve.

- ORDER PROCESSING - Usually, orders will be sent by the next business day after full payment has been received. If for any reason this is not possible, the buyer will be notified. Once payment has been received, the date for shipment of the order will be provided to the buyer.

If you're buying multiple items, I will attempt to combine them in one parcel to get you the most economical postal rate.

- AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION POLICY - Orders will be cancelled if payment is not received within 5 days.

- RETURNS - Please contact me first with any issues regarding an order. I will not agree to any refund unless the exact same item sent by me is returned to me in the same condition as I sent it.

Optional - Use this area to specify your terms when buying or selling. Outline particular requirements such as payment types, postage preferences etc. You might wish to list all postage types with rates for example.
