Goldmund record collector's standards VS. English


It's funny for me to know that VG condition of vinyl(very good) means that there are surface scratches that are noisy but the record plays through.
To me how such record condition can be any good rather than poor?
I think that I would translate poor condition of Goldmund collector standard as FUBAR!!!

I buy used vinyl on ebay all the time: only when they say 'M' or 'M-' is it usually acceptable to me.. vg++ ect. means you're buying crap with alot of surface noise..I've given up trying to buy used U.K. pressings from the U.K. dealers because they will say 'condition is excellent' but when I get it, clean it, play it, it sounds like some teenager grinded the grooves with a cheap shure on a belt drive Garrard or something worse.. so beware.
