+1 @mijostyn. Only thing I would add is that if there is an out of print record I want, I will occasionally buy it if it is NM or mint condition.
i have never had one of those come back dirty. Occasionally they have a minor scratch/pop for a revolution or two, but I’ve had new records sometimes sound worse. In the worst of those cases, the vendor will allow a return, especially if they’ve seen a pattern of problems.
I know one person who has a multi $K RCM who never brushes his records before playing them. What a waste, pure insanity.
