Micheal

This post has a single name for reason,...its Micheal we all know who that is. As i live dwell and breathe as a person i really don't know if I personally have suceeded in lfe, I don't don't know if I've been Fair i really don't know if I have given enough care...I do know i was alive during a time history that will always be earmarked at least from a musical perspective.

   I was alive and dwelling on this Earth at the same time as a true Artistic phenomenon, Micheal Jackson. I'm fortunate to say the least. As a seasoned human being I now sit back and listen to the same tracks I've heard thousands of times before yet today they hold a much different meaning. I truly understand now there will never be another.

The rest of us had a chance to be private Micheal didn't he sacrificed it to entertain us he never had a life that he could truthfully call his own. He lived for stage and the stage lived for him.

Who's Buying Vinyl

Album Covers A Lost Art

           Over the past few years Vinyl has made a nice strong comeback. The difference is  however is a new kind of clientele showing enthusiasm for records. The people who seem to be Collecting and enjoy Vinyl consist of a nice even combination of late high school and college age people who got hip to it through their parents, and up into the 30-year-olds and older doing it from an audiophile perspective.

             cover as each one is unique. A true piece of art in itself, this is is true vinyl...

Research has shown that from a buying perspective customers in their teens and twenties spend around $15-$20 on their vinyl which consist of a mix of both newly pressed vinyl and collectibles. However customers in their late 30s and up are the most likely to spend up to $35 for deluxe albums because they came of age listening to vinyl and miss the experience. After all that is what made Vinyl unique it was much more than just music it was an experience, a place and time a record, a sleeve and while you listen to the music within the grooves be and study the Album's cover...A Lost Art

The Big Three 

$8 Dollar Vinyl understands how buyers may have concerns so we have addressed the 3 major concerns here for future reference. 

1. Description - What am I buying? Actual Vinyl is always photographed we do not use "STOCK" photos. We also understand that buyers want to be informed. $8 Dollar Vinyl describes each and every item clearly, accurately, truthfully. We describe our Vinyl as though the buyer has never heard or seen it before. We pour intense research into each piece of Vinyl we have. We try and describe clearly each aspect of the Vinyl's uniqueness, rarity, history, era, artist and so much more. We focus hard on original copies preferably unplayed still in their original Sleeve and Cover.
2. Condition - What Condition Is The Item In - $8 Dollar Vinyl clearly understands this is the most important aspect is the condition of the Vinyl. For over a decade we exclusively used with great success the World famous "Goldmine Record Grading Method" listed below. With some of the pieces almost 100 year old it is very important to describe each item accurately. We try hard to describe the item exactly as it appears in the photos as seen, what you see is what you get! In rare cases of extreme RARITY we accept an post Vinyl in less than "LIKE NEW"  or "VERY GOOD" condition at the least. ***Fortunately buyers have a full 30 days to receive and inspect their Vinyl as well. If not satisfied simply send it back "No Reason Needed" for a full refund.
3. Shipping & Handling - Vinyl is considered a FRAGILE shipment as bendable or breakable item so we pack our Vinyl securely within firm cardboard shippers with extra padding added to guarantee a safe arrival. All $8 Dollar Vinyl is shipped via USPS with tracking and Delivery Confirmation always included. $8 Dollar Vinyl has a 30 day policy that does not begin until you receive your item. 

***We really hope we have answered any questions you may have in reference to our Vinyl.  Please enjoy looking around the selection as we add to it each and every day...

Goldmine Grading Method 

• Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
• Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. 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 almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
  
  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
  
  
  
  
  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
  
  Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.



• Very Good Plus (VG+)   Generally worth 50 percent 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.
  
  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. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
  
  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
  
  In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.



• Very Good (VG)   Generally worth 25 percent 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, only two or three of them.
  
  Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.



• Good (G), Good Plus (G+)   Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
  
  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
  
  It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.



• Poor (P), Fair (F)   Generally worth 0-5 percent 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 seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
