I use eBay and discogs. My experiences with both have been positive. I buy used original pressings. New reissues cut from digital files are of no interest to me. I am price conscious and look for the lowest prices. I have never had to return a used LP. How the cover looks is of little concern. I will not buy any Mobile Fidelity after learning of their dishonesty.

All LP's I buy get a thorough cleaning and a new inner sleeve before play. Before playing a side I apply Stylast to the stylus. This acts as a lubricant and reduces stylus wear. After playing a side I brush the stylus with some liquid Nagaoka 801 stylus cleaner. 

I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices for new reissues ($25-$35), aside from their being cut from digital files. Good to Excellent copies can often be found for around $10 or less!

My favorite hunting ground was the local Goodwill two miles from my house. LP's there were $1 apiece! Mostly rock and classical. Over the years I bought a thousand or so!
