Agreed @richie1975. I’ve been buying most all my vinyl on Discogs, and 98%+ of my purchases have been an excellent experience. I prefer original or first generation repress/remasters (mostly from the 70’s); most all classical. If you look at a sellers rating and feedback, you’ll know if you are dealing with an ‘honest broker’ in most cases. And, it’s also possible to get a ‘mint’ album that also has noise because of the pressing or poor vinyl used on certain runs.
I just purchased about 17 albums from a seller on Discogs, ‘Philadelphiamusic’, and was very very impressed by the quality of my purchases, most all were claimed to be ‘VG’ or ‘VG+’, and were every bit of that if not a bit under-graded. Incredibly clean vinyl and sleeves. All for about $50 shipped, or about $3 an album. Pretty hard to beat.
