First, a friendly warning . New Lps today are pressed on Virgin Vinyl . But is it good Virgin Vinyl ? All vinyl now comes from SE ASIA. Kaiser was the last American producer of vinyl. They are no longer in business . EPA or something ... So when you hear the "Swoosh" noise in between bands (songs), it's the bad vinyl . The swoosh goes through the entire record .  It's not in the Mothers or Stampers . And the 180g deception... Prior to 180g . Records were pressed at an industry standard . Which would correlate with the geometry and vertical tracking of the tone arm and platter. 180g Records are about 1/16" thicker . So, if you have a turntable that does not have VTA (Vertical Tracking Adjustment) , the geometry and VTA are thrown off when playing 180g records. Your stylus is not tracking correct . Because 180g records will change your VTA By about 1/16" of an inch.  Rca Dynaflex records have the reverse (but not nearly as bad) effect . Dynaflex are around 150 g (?) . If you want a good sounding record , try a 70's -80's Japanese nm pressing .They are on quality virgin vinyl . Hold the record up to a light . It will be a dark "Root Beer" color. Virgin vinyl. American records from the same era sound really good if nm. As do German etc... Japanese and German Records were mastered direct to Copper (DMM) . Europa disc in the Usa was Dmm . But they no longer in business  . I don't know if there's any places in the Usa now for DMM . Maybe Sterling .Most records were, and are mastered with lacquer mothers . Which sound pretty good depending on the time per side. Anyway , 180g is a marketing gimmick . The other thing is record pressers can charge more and crank them out quicker . With less probability of them warping. So now when you hear the "Swoosh"(among other things) on a freshly open Lp , you know why. Your best bet is buying sealed or nm records . Always check for spindle marks. Many dealers have these really expensive cleaning systems . They good and they make the record look better . The one thing they don't do is remove play caused by poor use . If the record looks almost perfect . Look and the label and the marks around the spindle hole. That's the first thing I always look for . 
Offers too low or unreasonable I will not respond to.
VG+ Records are going to have surface noise . I assure you . If you ever need something play tested . I would be more than happy to do so. I respect collectors and understand the importance . Please disregard the ebay grading method completely . It's not so much that they are flying blind. I just use a different set of principals . I always thought UK RECORD collector was a bit more refined than Goldmine.

Play graded records possible! Just ask!!!
Please wait for invoice . It will save you a lot of money on shipping!
JIMI HENDRIX : RCA CLUB EDITION PRINTED ON LABELS . SLEEVE IN SHRINK COVER: EX+ RECORD :SOME SPINDLE MARKS .BUT LOOKS VG++ TO EX.
I always grade the cover first Inner sleeve always graded Obi strip is graded Box and booklets graded.

I use "Record Collector" Magazine grading . And add a "NM" inbetween M and EX. One grade is equal. Covers graded first. VG+ Records will have surface noise accompanied w/ classic surface noise. I gurantee that . Don't buy the VG+ If you are picky like myself!

Please disregard any of Ebay's "Grading" principles or stipulations in this ad . Thanks
