The Snow Lion

[MARPA MUSIC logo or cameo]
After many years of acquiring CDs and vinyl I have decided to sell a large portion of my collection.  I've opened an online store via the Gemm.com site. Click on the logo above to pay it a visit and view the lists of classical, pop & jazz records/CDs I'm selling at nice prices. 

 You can also view my Classical list by clicking here 
or here for my Pop-Jazz list 

 Otherwise pay my 'shop' a visit at Gemm to complete the transaction.

Grading

I make use of the "Goldmine Standard" grading system as explained below but I give far more details of the state of individual records in my 'sales description'. 

SS Still Sealed
 Unopened and therefore as new.

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 will be described in comments attached to the item.

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.
