At Vinyleers, we place great value on the quality of our records. That’s why we grade each record and sleeve carefully according to a standard system, the Goldmine Standard. You can find more information here. This system evaluates records on a scale of Mint, Near Mint, Very Good+, Very Good, Good, Fair, and Poor. Every detail matters to us, from the smallest scratch to the overall condition of the sleeve.
We are generally stricter than other collectors: when a record has slight damage or is uncertain which category it falls into, we always opt for a lower classification. This ensures our customers are always guaranteed the quality they expect, or even better.
We always carry out this process ourselves, without relying on the original owner's assessment. When we purchase a collection, we carefully price and describe it based on our own quality standards. This means that at Vinyleers, you can always count on an accurate and fair assessment of each record.
Our rigorous quality control ensures that you can buy from Vinyleers with confidence, knowing that every record you receive meets our high standards. We believe in transparency and consistency, which our customers appreciate and which sets us apart in the second-hand record market.
At Vinyleers, it is our mission to provide you with the best listening experience with carefully graded records, so you don't have to worry about the quality. Our team is ready to thoroughly inspect and grade each record, so you can enjoy the music as it was meant to be heard.
