Used Classical LP seller who grades by listening


Can any of you tell me if you have found any sellers who grade by actually listening to the albums and have had a good experience. I'm aware this may cost more but I believe there is absolutely no way of grading an LP correctly by observing under light. Thanks in advance!

Don...I deal only in classical, though I'm not offering anything for sale at this time. I too have sold before on both Audiogon and eBay. I listen for surface noise and check for warps on each record before I put it up for sale. I'm only doing what I believe is fair, and could not do it any other way. So far, my experience has differed somewhat from Tubeo's with regard to what interested buyers are willing to pay, with Audiogon members keeping pace with those on eBay.
