poor vinyl


has anyone else experienced purchasing albums online (not through audiogon) that were not in the condition they stated. I recently purchased several albums that were supposed to be vg to nm. Insted all were the kind you would find in the dollar bin at a local record store

Are general ratings standard. Like nm means almost new.
vg possibly some light scuffs.etc.

the standard for rating used vinyl has always been a'visual'one. anything less than m-(thats even a step up from near mint)is always a risk unless the seller's standards are the same as yours......in record collecting, a description of excellent or vg etc usually isn't worth 'collecting' unless the item is rare beyond belief.
