Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed?

lewm,

this is about NOT REMOVING STATIC, letting buyer deal with static.

So far, I have shipped 30 that I did clean, removed static, sold as static free (except some occasionally between tracks), and I always get positive feedback, IOW it is possible.

Not to mention, I have bought and received new and used static free lps.

You fear eBay, I have done very well selling and buying on eBay.

everyone

thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.

Now, cleaned/played here first: people get them, slap em on TT, get quiet enjoyable experience, give great feedback.

IOW, too much STATIC is the ONLY thing that would reduce that instant enjoyment.

I wondered how much static might re-occur during shipping, so far no one has mentioned it.

I maintain 100% seller rating, get great feedback.

These: skip cleaning, skip playing, sell as 'you clean them', 'full refund guaranteed':

Many appear to have been played only once, which makes them the same as the ones I have cleaned/played: VERY DARN GOOD or VERY GOOD.  I simply cannot assure quiet listening as I do now.

IOW, too much STATIC is the ONLY thing that would reduce that instant enjoyment (perhaps probable).

It looks like I will part with half, 2,000 lps, I'm deciding/sorting the keepers as I pack them over there.

The bulk of keepers are jazz, some popular. I have enough classical, opera, show tunes, don't like country, all of them will go. As I grab a bunch later to sell, I can keep a particular one.

I think I will make a new seller account, emphasize 'u clean em' 'unquestioned full refund' see what happens, if I can maintain a very high seller rating. 

I have an orange 'uncle wins music' logo in the main listing page. You instantly know it's mine in a page of listings without clicking on it.

I will simply use a different colored logo for uncleaned/unplayed.

A nice offering.

I gather you ascertain value, determine a starting price or buy it now.

I decided when I started selling tapes, now lps, to start low, simply let the market determine value.

My object is space, but higher sale prices would be nice.

thanks, whiplash is better than the simple one I am using now.

I decided to start simple, easy, see if any shipping complaints surfaced, so far none.

Perhaps I will get some whiplash, and use them for lps that people paid a high price for.

Tapes, I found a perfectly sized bubble envelope and I put peanuts inside the box to prevent the tape moving thereby damaging the tape's box. Same thing, no problems except the few USPS seemed to intentionally destroy.

If I come across Mobile Fidelity, I'll make a list, it will take some time.

Discogs, you have to professionally grade them, and, you have to set a specific price.

eBay, I use my ’Very Darn good’ or ’Very Good’, and start low, let the market decide final sold price. Many go to 1 bidder at listed price, some get a high price.
