If you?d like me to post a video of a disc playing that you are interested in, please message me and let me know. I?ll do my best. Chances are something you are interested in may already be posted. I have several hundred posted at this time, adding 10-30 a week.
VISUAL
GRADING SCALE (I am using the VJM Record Grading System):
N-
Nearly Mint, but has been played. No
visible signs of wear or damage (I will only use this if I feel the record is
as close to being unplayed and undamaged as possible, usually for stock that
appears pristine in every way. It has to
be great for me to list it as such)
E+
Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from
being slipped in and out of jackets
E
Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few
inaudible scuffs and scratches
E-
Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.
V+
is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the
finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from
distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V
Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and
scratches audible but not intrusive.
V-
Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music
remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+
Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy
scratches.
G
Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than
surface noise.
G-
to P I don?t intend to list any records in this condition unless they are of a
historic nature.
AUDIBLE
GRADING SCALE (This is something I came up with because it?s what I?d
personally want if I were buying from a dealer online). For 78rpm records, I use an Audio Technica
LP120 to do the sound grading.
Plays
New: Just what you?d expect. The record
plays with virtually no surface noise other than the music.
Plays
Just Below New: Slight static, barely perceptible. If you have to think about if it plays new or
just below new, it?s just below new.
Plays
Average: A solid listen, albeit one with a certain acceptable amount of white
noise in the background.
Plays
Below Average: Heavier white noise makes listening not as nice as higher
audible grades.
Plays
Like Crap: I won?t be selling any of these?
