Dan Gould Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 The eBay seller behind this auction has his own take on vinyl gradings. He's using MINT as well as M as different gradings. NM represents a record with "no audible scratches" but which may have "visual flaws", while VG++ is still described as "Vinyl will be in Near Mint Condition". Also notice the VG- cover. It's comforting to know that it could still somehow be considered "Very Good". I'll see that and raise you this auction from the same moron. 1/4 of the front cover is gone and he calls it VG!!!

"CONDITION COVER: VG nice cover & design. ." Yes, it's a real beauty! I could spend at least 2 hrs per night sipping scotch & dreamily gazing at it on the PC screen!

Ken Dryden Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 This ebay sellet doesn't even follow his own posted guidelines. The cover is obviously badly damaged yet he lists: CONDITION COVER: VG nice cover & design. no writing or seam splits. some damage to front cover. and then... Grading Scale: VG = Several audible scratches, but not throughout vinyl. Cover will have wear, but no splits or tears. Possible writing on jacket and/or label. I think that this Three Sounds Moods LP has a little more "wear" than most people are used to tolerating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 At least the title of the LP and the artist name are both visible. Jeez - can it get worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you goof, or did he change the link, or do I not get the gag? Ken, thanks for explaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
