Time To Impose Minimum Standards for LP's


Many Audiogon Members have invested substantial sums in acquiring high-end Turntables, Tonearms, and Cartridges. It seems appropriate that sellers of vinyl records should consider that fact before they list records for sale. Damaged records are not playable, IMO, on any Audiophile Turntable. Personally, I will not play a record that is a "7 out of 10" on the Audiogon scale. Nor will I resell such a record. It is destined for the round file in the corner. Yet today on Audiogon there are records offered which are rated at "3 out of 10" and which are described as damaged but "too good to throw away". Please save the junk for some other venue, or yardsale. Perhaps it's time for Audiogon to impose minimum standards for Sellers of music. Because the listing is free is not a legitimate reason to offer junk on this site.

Why does anyone care?
If you dont want it then dont buy it, its a free market and if its described as far from perfect (3 certainly is) then who is a victim????
Your trying to impose your values on everyone else and a free market supply and demand model is much more well thought out than your idea.
Ferrari, great commercial lol but I highly doubt a itelligent man such as yourself would assume you may be the only one here who plays a album for quality, that complete BS.
