I have a couple of local record stores that I frequent. Both have an excellent stock of used LP's and new releases. They also buy vinyl if you want to sell some of your collection.
I'm a 1st pressing junkie, I've noticed at least on ebay that there definition of excellent is different from mine. If I buy a 1st pressing on ebay I ask the seller a question ( Snap crackle pop? Surface noise in between tracks?) Reason is I recently purchased a Neil Young Harvest 1st pressing and the listing said Excellent for "Vinyl" I got it, The LP looked great, I put it on, dropped the Stylus and Very bad surface noise to start and then when Out on the Weekend started it skipped about 5 times through the song. Turned it over and Old Man skipped bad. It went back! I went as far as to check my Stylus and tracking force with my qauge. Put on my Steely Dan Aja and all was good on my end. Truly shocked on his Excellent grading.
