I have bought a lot of albums through ebay. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Regardless of whether it appears the album is clean, I do my own cleaning with a cleaning machine. As far as static, I never do any mitigation. I received an album once from a seller that was just in a plastic sealed bag, no cardboard mailer. Needless to say, the album cover was damaged a lot but surprisingly the album was fine. I did some repairs on the cover and cleaned the album. I always store my purchases in a new sleeve and album cover. FWIW
Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed?
I will be selling more LPs on eBay.
My objective is to make space, and I enjoy finding someone who wants them.
I have been cleaning, listening, photos, listing, selling, shipping. Time consuming, cost of cleaning fluids, wear on stylus.
A few bring decent $, many/most go for starting price $4.50. Money is nice, but not much after all the work, involved costs and fees.
....................
I am thinking of selling based only on my visual inspection, letting buyer deal with any static, and keep my unconditional refund if buyer discovers a problem, i.e. a skip I didn't see.
I view them, look Very Darn Good (no scuffs) or Darn Good (very minor scuffs): 1 photo, 1 link from wiki, a few specific words, done.
No hesitation on refunds whatsoever.
..............................
So, what do you think, will people buy, trusting they only need to deal with static? People already trust my unconditional refund, nobody has asked for a refund based on anything but USPO destruction. What's different is they have to deal with static.
