The Rollins was for record upgrade purposes only, if i have a fine cover already. I would not consider any grading for such a badly stained cover. In any case, i would never pay 228 $ for this one. Lucky seller.

VG+ one side, NM- the other. Given that and general iffyness, I would have stayed away also.

I see it sold for $228 – the vinyl would have to be pretty close to pristine to justify buying this with that highly questionable cover

As I understand it, the slash (“/”) is used to describe something that is between two close categories – hence the VG++/NM- description of the vinyl at least makes sense (even if the lack of play-testing and his troubled cover description would make me hesitant) – the VG+/NM- makes no sense to me at all (aside from the defects mentioned)since, these two are at least two categories apart
Personally, I would have to ask a lot of questions before I would even consider buying (and almost certainly would not)

Yikes…that’s not even close to VG+ on the cover. I picked up this LP as an original stereo records release for $75, spotless vinyl (though half of one track turned out to have a loud pop) and the cover has clear tape on all seams, although it is taped neatly. Just good enough for me considering the price, but I still dream of stumbling on a replacement for the taped cover…

Did you guys notice the condition of this “mostly VG+/NM-” graded jacket? That’s a G in my opinion and makes me suspicious of his grading of the vinyl!

Rudolf i was not aware of that anonymous system. Have to look into that.

Shaft: but the anonymous five-stars rating system gives you a tool to give bad notes. I wouldn’t buy from a seller who has got an average note for grading below 4. I myself as seller have 4.9 and it is tough to obtain 5 because buyers may be happy about their purchase and they give four, in good faith. And there you are with a tainted reputation.

Hi guys!
eBay can be a problem and I think maybe the biggest problem is that when a seller screws up intentionally or not it rarely shows in the feedback. As the system works a seller will work with an unhappy customer to avoid bad feedback or any any feedback at all. It happened to me and I’m sure it has happened to you.

Bought a Gryce on Signal as NM. Turned out to be VG. Got half the money back – no feedback. Nobody knows he screwed up. Had I given a bad feedback – no money back for sure. Si it’s in my interest not to give bad feedback.

I’m sure this happens all the time. And I’m also sure that this strategy pays off quite often.

Lately I’ve almost felt like I don’t care about the money back it would almost be better to actually give a bad feedback….so beware sellers.

Please grade honestly.
