What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why?
There are plenty of sellers who are sloppy about grading My point exactly. If you can't trust anyone to grade correctly, then I would argue the grading system itself does not work. When you have a grading system that's mostly subjective, having...

@tostadosunidos no problem with that. :-)I used to love Half Price Books when I lived in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, they don't have any in South Carolina, where I live now.

Has Audiogon Been Hacked?

Why would anyone want 180g records ?
@boxer12 haha, exactly. 
Why would anyone want 180g records ?
