Record you see is the record you get - Always.

I always recommend a professional cleaning, and have found it best to leave that to the new owner's method of choice.

I am a private collector who is slowly unloading records from my own personal collection. They have all been amassed over the years and always stored in a cool, dry, smoke-free & pet-free, kid-free environment. I will always do my best to describe the condition of a record, but as most of you know grading vinyl is up for interpretation (with the exception of sealed records) and opinions can vary from person to person. Below is the system I will be using to grade 33&1/3 (Lp) record(s).

Mint (M) or Still Sealed (SS)

Basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look untouched. Personally, I refuse to grade any record “Mint” unless it is still factory sealed – just on a matter of principle.

Near Mint (NM)

Vinyl is near perfect, as if it were just opened. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no outline sleeve.

Excellent (EX or VG++)

Vinyl should still play with no skips. There can be some very minor surface scuffs, but they should not affect the sound quality to a great extent. The vinyl should still retain a nice shine. The record sleeve can have some minor ring wear but it should be mostly in good shape. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams.

Very Good+ (VG+)

This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.

Very Good(VG)

Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. Vinyl possibly could skip. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower some pops and clicks present. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but the cover should for the most part still be in okay condition.

Good (VG-)

Vinyl is well played and looks it. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of records he or she collects. A rock record may still sound ok at a high volume, but quieter styles of music may be practically unlistenable. The record cover may have many problems including seam splits, tears, and writing on it.

Fair/Poor (F/P)

Records described as fair (F) or Poor (P) are ones that are basically not listenable. Surface noise, skips and pops make hearing what's on the record nearly impossible, if not completely impossible. The cover is falling apart, torn, and has writing all over it. The only reason to keep it would be if the record is extremely rare. It’s sole purpose is to be a collection filler, not to be played.
