I do not test the audio. I try to give a detailed description and highlight problem areas in photographs. However, understanding that purchasing vinyl online can be a risk with satisfaction. I will promptly issue a refund if it was not what was expected or if there is dissatisfaction with play quality.
Ways of grading can be different based on the individual. Below is what I look for and what each grade means in reference to my listings. This will hopefully compensate for any difference in opinion on how something should be graded.
Mint (M): Perfect. Sealed. Never played.
Near Mint (NM): Perfect. Not sealed. Used but doesn't show it.
Excellent (E): Not perfect, but still close to flawless.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Obviously used but well kept. This can include - Record: a minor amount of hairlines only seen in bright lighting or minor superficial scuffing nothing deep enough to feel with a light touch. Cover: shows minor signs of storage wear but no major imperfections.
Very Good (VG): more obvious signs of wear but still decently well kept. This can include- Record: a moderate amount of hairlines visible in any lighting, a moderate amount of superficial scuffing. Nothing deep enough to feel with a light touch. Cover: Moderate storage including minor tears on corners and sides, ring wear, light writing, mild discoloration.
Good (G): Used with a significant amount of wear, but not to a severe extent. This can include- Record: a heavy amount of hairlines, major superficial scuffing, or 1-2 small scratches that can be felt with a light touch. Cover: Major wear or splitting. But still functional and intact.
(G) Is the lowest. Anything with imperfections beyond what has been described would not be listed for sale.
