Conditions and Grading
COMPACT DISC:
If it says "new" it is, however, because MITA is a retail outlet and being a small business we do not have the electronic gizmos at the door, so removing the CD is our theft deterrent. Consequently, nearly all the CDs that say "new" will have been opened for this reason. Used CDs will be priced accordingly! Remember we have the equipment to remove the scratches from a CD if needed so anything we sell should be virtually scratch free. We have tried to indicate any problems up front in the description section but may have missed something about a case or inserts. All CDs are guaranteed to play. But if you have a problem with a CD playing, please try a different machine before contacting us. We have learned that, unfortunately, not all CDs play on all machines and if it plays on mine it is a good CD and no refund will be given.
VINYL
"Goldmine Standard" grading: COVER FIRST MEDIA SECOND (COVER/MEDIA)
SS Still Sealed
Never opened. Flawless, with no damage whatsoever.
M- Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.
VG+ Very Good Plus
Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but
will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only
"barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the
begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VG Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only
Occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the
music being listened to.
Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams.
If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings,
but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a "VG",
the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.
THIS VINYL DEFINITION IS MORE LIKELY GOING TO BE GRADED G+ BY OUR STANDARDS FOR VINYL AND G OR G+ FOR COVERS WITH SEAM SPLITS OR RING WEAR.
G+ Good Plus
Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to
make the music completely unlistenable or unenjoyable to the
casual listener.
Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
MOST OF THE VINYL WE ARE LISTING WILL BE GRADED LOWER THAN SCALE WITH SPECIAL NOTATIONS OF UNUSUAL DAMAGES THAT MAY AFFECT PLAYING THE PIECE. WE WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION FOR COVERS, AGAIN NORMALLY GRADING LOWER THAN THE ABOVE STANDARD. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PLAY GRADED THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ON RECORD ALBUMS.
NOT ALL CASSETTES ARE NEW BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT AS WITH THE CDs THE ITEM WILL BE OPENED AND ALL SHOULD BE IN GOOD PLAYABLE CONDITION. WE DO CHECK THE CONDITION ONE LAST TIME BEFORE PACKAGING TO BE SURE THAT THE PIECE AT LEAST APPEARS FINE (FELT TIPS ARE INTACT NO OBVIOUS LOOPS IN THE TAPE OR TAPE DAMAGE). UNFORTUNATLY BECAUSE PLAYERS SOMETIMES HAVE A TENDENCY TO EAT A TAPE FROM TIME TO TIME WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURN OR GUARANTEE CASSETTES.
Goldmine Grading Standard:
Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). 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 shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my 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 of minor 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]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will 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.
------------------------------------------------------------
Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: 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.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Poor [P], Fair [F]: 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/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
