The collector community and sites like Discogs comprise an ecosystem. It is an ecosystem that we cannot exploit and we get out of it what we put in. Because this is my hobby and not my job, I try to grade my listings accurately and fairly, and I expect the same from everyone else. I'm not in this to make a profit, but rather to raise funds to feed my habit. Any cash I get from a sale is used to purchase vinyl from others.

Waste is dumb so I prefer to reuse mailers that were once used to ship albums to me, as long as those mailers are still in good condition and will keep the record well protected during shipment to you. I always remove the album from the sleeve and place it in a poly outer to avoid damage. I do my best to pack your album well so that it arrives in the listed condition. Sometimes I use a spare album to occupy space in the mailer so it does not jostle around during shipment. If I use a spare, I try to match the genre to your order.

EDIT August 21, 2024: My apologies for the increase in shipping prices but it is necessary to avoid losing money. The US Postal Service Media Mail option is no longer as cheap as it was. Both Discogs and PayPal take a cut of shipping costs. Packing supplies including cardboard mailers have also gone up in price.
