Price

We display currency values in the following example's format: '10.99'.
Prices listed with commas will be converted to this system automatically.

Condition

If you're selling used or a mix of new and used records it is required that you list the condition of the records. We encourage all sellers to follow the standard set by Goldmine. See here for an explanation of the Goldmine Standard.

Vinyl Grading

Please indicate a grade that accurately reflects the condition of your product, i.e. "New/M, NM, VG+, VG, G, F, or P".

It's recommended to add condition for both media and sleeve. To distinguish between the two conditions, you should write it this way:

"condition media/condition sleeve," e.g. NM/VG+
