To-Be-Announced (2ba, IIba) is a modest online shop based in western Sweden and managed by me, Evan Jordan. 2ba sells second-hard media (vinyl, compact discs) from around the world, from ‘80s-early ‘00s, from ambient to kwaito. These records represent an intersection of obscurity, rarity and actual good music. And as I have said in the past, 2ba isn’t a museum of vanity. The stock is constantly out-going and in-coming and I try to price accordingly.
If there is one strength I can bring to this shop it is a deep knowledge of records and this super niche record market. These records aren’t a set of care tires or a gallon of milk; pricing has a large subjective component. But I try to be fair. When pricing, I want to find a price where I am confident the buyer would be able to resell for more. I’d rather make a friend and customer than make an extra 10€.
For further inquires:
I use the Goldmine Standard like everyone else. I provide HQ images and audio clips to give the most accurate representation of a record’s condition and try to describe a record’s flaws to the best of my abilities. The highest I grade is Near Mint and that applies only to a sealed record, where the sleeve is either 1) in pristine condition, or 2) a generic sleeve.

If, for whatever reason, you are dissatisfied with an order, you may return an item for a refund. The buyer pays return shipping (must be registered shipping). When the package has been returned and the item has been examined a refund will be made. I would prefer not to make partial refunds in this situation, but exceptions can be made.
For further inquires:
There are certainly on the table, but I don’t often trade. Bulk deals, however, are always an option. Please message me about orders of three or more records. Also I have a size-able stock of €15 to €50 records that don’t have a place in my shop. They are great records, but more appropriate to sell in bulk to physical shops.
