Put this list up here 10 days ago. Sold 45s have been removed and some prices have been reduced. Please send me a PM if you're interested in anything and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm always interested in trading for funk, funky soul, and modern 45s so feel free to send me a list of things you're willing to part with if you're interested in something.

Grading
NM- As good as it gets for a contact system, practically an untouched record that plays as if it were brand new.
VG++ A few faint surface marks, nothing that will affect play in any major way. Sounds just barely short of brand new.
VG+ A few more marks than a VG++ record but still sounds plenty clean for listening and/or DJing, your typical used but far from abused copy.
VG Light scuffs and light scratches throughout, most can't be felt. Expect surface wear throughout the record with light surface noise and possibly a few pops. Should still serve as a suitable player copy for listening & DJing despite the moderate noise. An average 45 coming from the field, noticeable noise here and there that's still secondary to the music
VG- The record may have some scratches that will be deep enough to feel. Audible clicks and pops are likely consistent throughout the grooves. Should still play well enough for DJing if you're not a stickler. Expect noticeable noise throughout, NO SKIPS though.
G+ A record that has been played and not taken care of. Constant background noise will be present. NO SKIPS but such records are the lowest grade likely to still serve as a cheap filler copy for those in need.
