Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed?

@whart = wisdom

Elliot,
I buy a lot of used albums on ebay.  The biggest thing for me is a few really good photos... one of each side of each record, the sleeve, and any extras, if applicable. 

Knowing they've been graded by ear us nice, but its not a real concern unless im going to spend over $50  on it.

Cleaning is nice, but not a deal breaker in any way. 

Just my $0,02.  Hope it helps.

When buying second hand vinyl I clean them using my record cleaning machine and place them in "Nagaoka" style anti-static sleeves. I throw away flimsy paper innards and only keep inner sleeves if they have lyrics/other useful info. It has not hindered resale and buying in bulk reduces cost per LP.

Static is not removed, it is controlled. Just walking across a carpet with an lp in hand will introduce static. Just by cleaning the record on the platter while spinning will introduce static....it causes record to stick to mat when removing for example....static is an ongoing battle. The zero stat gun does seem to work well, also the audioquest carbon fiber brush. Also, the choice of good anti-static inner sleeves seem to reduce the static. 

everyone

thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.

Now, cleaned/played here first: people get them, slap em on TT, get quiet enjoyable experience, give great feedback.

IOW, too much STATIC is the ONLY thing that would reduce that instant enjoyment.

I wondered how much static might re-occur during shipping, so far no one has mentioned it.

I maintain 100% seller rating, get great feedback.

These: skip cleaning, skip playing, sell as 'you clean them', 'full refund guaranteed':

Many appear to have been played only once, which makes them the same as the ones I have cleaned/played: VERY DARN GOOD or VERY GOOD.  I simply cannot assure quiet listening as I do now.

IOW, too much STATIC is the ONLY thing that would reduce that instant enjoyment (perhaps probable).

It looks like I will part with half, 2,000 lps, I'm deciding/sorting the keepers as I pack them over there.

The bulk of keepers are jazz, some popular. I have enough classical, opera, show tunes, don't like country, all of them will go. As I grab a bunch later to sell, I can keep a particular one.

I think I will make a new seller account, emphasize 'u clean em' 'unquestioned full refund' see what happens, if I can maintain a very high seller rating. 

I have an orange 'uncle wins music' logo in the main listing page. You instantly know it's mine in a page of listings without clicking on it.

I will simply use a different colored logo for uncleaned/unplayed.
