| Eligible Items |
- Condition: Must be Discogs VG (Very Good) grade or above

- Discretion: The store may reject any item deemed unsellable or undesirable at either the portal submission stage or the in-store check-in. This includes but is not limited to singles, counterfeits/bootlegs, or rare/high-value items requiring appraisal.
