On this page you will find detailed auction rules and an explanation of our grading system.

Auction Rules

  1. Minimum bid is $6.00 per record, unless listed otherwise.
  2. We are no longer accepting unlimited bids.  You can bid as high as you want, but we need a dollar amount.
  3. Bids must be in by 4:00 PM E.S.T. on the last day of the auction.
  4. Since we are usually running two auctions at a time, please tell us what auction you are bidding on.
  5. We do not reveal high bids during the course of an auction.  However, we do allow and encourage sliding bids, such as $8.00 - $10.00, $10.00 - $20.00, etc...
  6. If you've bid $10.00 - $20.00 and no one else bids on the record you get the record for $10.00.  If the highest bid is $15.00, you get the record for $16.50, a 10% increase.  We've been using this system for about 3 years  with great success and encouragement.
  7. We will contact you via e-mail or postal mail regarding your winning bids and the total, including shipping.  Let us know how you prefer to be contacted.
  8. We do not charge handling fees.
  9. All records are 100% money back guaranteed.
  10. If you have any further questions please contact us at: info@jerrysrecords.com
  11. Bids can be sent via e-mail: bids@jerrysrecords.com

Grading

We use 5 grades on auction records. The first grade is the cover and the second is the record.

  1. (M-) -This is as good as it gets... not a damn thing wrong with it... (unless you're a fanatic)
  2. (EX) - Not a damn thing wrong with it, except minor flaws take it down a step below (M-)
  3. (VG+) -This is a solid LP with maybe a slight album ring, record wear, writing on the back of the cover, etc... Our (VG+) are great records, we get almost no returns.  (If we're not sure of (VG+) we sell them in the store.
  4. (VG) - Once in, if a while a record is truly rare and much sought after, Jerry wil list it.  These are usuall (VG): cover and (M): record OR (M): coverand (VG):  record.
  5. (Sealed) - Just what it means!  We've never resealed a record in our lives and try not to list items we think have been resealed by others.
