Credit Cards
by mdm
We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express; and Discover. We also accept Paypal, Google Checkout and Amazon Payments. If you wish to send the funds you can pay by U.S. Postal money order, U.S. dollars, Euros, Canadian dollars or British pounds. There is no surcharge for using your credit card to make purchases. Please be sure to provide your exact billing address and telephone number (i.e. the address and phone number your credit card bank has on file for you).
For some countries outside the U.S. you won't be able to make a payment using the online credit card option. You may instead pay by Paypal, Google Checkout or send the payment. It is something the way our credit card processor communicates with your credit card bank saying the billing address does not match. There is nothing you are doing wrong. If you don't see the "pay by credit card" online option you will need to pay a different way. Please let us know if you need further help.
Please be sure you have filled in the 3-4 digit security code on your card. (Please note this is not the same as the last 3-4 digits of your credit card number. Incorrect information will cause a delay in processing your order. You will receive a refund for any adjustments to your order.
When an adjustment needs to be made for your order because of an item being sold out or for other reasons we will offer you a store credit as an option. You can get a refund to the payment method you used if you prefer. The store credit is issued in the form of a Thursday's Golden Goodies gift certificate. We send the the gift certificate by e-mail along with instructions on how to redeem. The gift certificate does not expire. You may use the gift certificate with volume and special mailing list member discounts.
Gift certificates bought through our site or redeemed with bonus points can only be used on a future order with Thursday's Golden Goodies. There are no refunds on gift certificates. Once issued they can only be used as payment for an order with Thursday's Golden Goodies. Gift certificates don't expire. They can be used with volume and special mailing list member discounts.
The system does not know if you have a open gift certificate when you place the order. It is up to you to enter the code at checkout. The gift certificate can't be retroactively applied to a completed order. We do send reminders out to those who have open gift certificates.
Gradings
by mdm
WE USE A 1 (worst) to 10 (best) GRADING SYSTEM!
For records WITH sleeves/covers, the vinyl is graded first, the
sleeve/cover second. Example: NM9/VG7 means NM9 vinyl/VG7 sleeve.
VINYL RECORDS ARE GRADED AS FOLLOWS:
M10 = mint. The record appears new, as though never played. If it has indeed been played, the record shows no wear at all.
NM9 = near mint. The record appears new at first glace, but a closer look reveals that it may have been played. It shows minimal wear, if any.
EX8 = excellent. Better than VG but below NM. Although this record seems to have been played, it is in great condition. It is likely that this record has had only one previous owner who took good care of it.
VG7 = very good. This record looks and sounds very good. It has some wear, but should play nicely for a long, long time.
VG6 = Slightly better than G. This record has visibly seen some play. It may have some scratches as well as writing on the label. Still this record plays well, assuring listening pleasure for years to come.
G5 = good. This record looks and plays OK. It shows considerable wear, likely from years of play and perhaps changing hands. There may be writing and/or stickers on the label, as well as visible scratches on the vinyl, although good play may not be affected.
G4 = Better than POOR but Below G. This is the lowest grading we will list. This record shows a lot of wear and may have markings/sticker on label. It plays OK, but has visibly seen a lot of handling.
wol = has writing on label. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "wol" notation allows for a more accurate grading.
sol = has sticker on label. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "sol" notation allows for a more accurate grading.
PICTURE SLEEVES & ALBUM COVERS
M10 = mint. A sleeve/cover in this condition appears as though it was just picked off a shelf at a retail store. It shows no marks or damage at all.
NM9 = This sleeve/cover is flawless at first glance. Any wear at all would be minimal.
EX8 = excellent. Better than VG but below NM. This sleeve looks great. It may have some minor wear, but no real damage of any kind.
VG7 = very good. Although it looks great at first sight, a closer look at this sleeve/cover may reveal some minor damage such as wear, some writing, minor tears.
VG6 = Better than G but below VG. This sleeve looks very good, but a closer look may show some wear and markings.
G5 = good. This sleeve looks good, but may show some flaws such as considerable wear, writing and scribbles, fading of colors and tears.
G4 = This is our lowest listed grading. Barely good, yet slightly better than poor. This sleeve looks ok, but may have major wear, slight tears, markings, etc.
woc = has writing on cover/sleeve. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "woc" notation allows for more accurate grading.
soc = has sticker on cover/sleeve. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "soc" notation allows for more accurate grading.
