somethingvinyl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Not craziness and not specific to eBay...but this is the closest thread where I can vent. Please grade your records conservatively. Or just accurately. I don't want to spend my time filling out eBay refund requests because a seller thinks EX/NM is a default grade that means "record not broken in half or three pieces". Carry on. I'm nearing on 15 years buying/selling/trading records. I'm only moderately confident now with grading, and I've had a lot of records pass through my hands because of buying collections. It's an art and because the hobby is bigger now, more dodos will be trying to sell their "investment". Mint does not mean 'only played/handled a few times'!

Shinji Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Since we're on the subject, I just spent a pretty penny on a sealed copy of a 20 year old Sonic Youth LP that was marked as Mint. We'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well, it's Mint. So we know that at least the majority of the shrink wrap is on the jacket. Everything else is a toss up. Good luck! Shinji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Good thing about Amazon is their return policy, but really I just want the record in good condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 To avoid any potential discrepancies, I asked a Discogs seller about their Mint grade on a particular record and asked if he/she could confirm if the record has any marks or wear that might place it below the Mint grade...his or her reply: Yes, it's mint/mint. If there's ever any damage when items are received from the distributor or bends, scratches, etc, when we are handling, we don't send the damaged item. We're pretty strict about not sending out damaged items. So...the grade scale is 'perfect Mint' or 'so damaged it has to be returned to the distributor/destroyed in an insurance fire'. No in between. Either, they are refusing to sell a ton of very reasonable NM/VG+ records out of a high ethical standard or their definition of Mint is 'it's not defective, broken, or damaged beyond salability'. Wonder which one it is. I also like how they didn't include any specific info that would confirm they actually checked the specific record I was asking about. I'm slowly being forced to be a loyal Amazon buyer 4 life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just opened my copy a couple days ago. I should have kept it sealed and could of offered it to the 2nd highest bidder for $52 (Letting him know it comes from a smoke free household of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
