I agree with Dougdeacon. I would estimate that 95% of my vinyl was used when I acquired it. I have only had one bad experience from ebay, and it turned out to be my mistake, as I had misread the ad.
I also buy mostly classical, however. It really does seem like classical music fans take much better care of their LPs. I will concede that it is much more difficult to find used jazz, rock, etc. in good shape. I do buy a fair amount of spoken word recordings, however, and have had very good luck with those.
