Grading System / How is the condition of used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. graded?

The condition grading system for used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. is based upon the internationally accepted anglo-american grading system provided by „Goldmine“ or „Record Collector“ magazine

Vinyl & Sleeve grading system

SS/STILL SEALED - the record is still factory sealed and has never been removed from it's sleeve

NM/NEAR MINT - (the highest grade - except for STILL SEALED) vinyl is visually perfect - no scratches or marks at all. Cover is like new

EX+/EXCELLENT PLUS - cover or record have just a few faint paper sleeve marks or completely insignificant hairline scratches that do not affect play at all - visually they should be barely noticeable

EX/EXCELLENT - record has been handled or played carefully, and may have some light paper or spindle marks or other very minor flaws that really shouldn't affect play at all. It will still play clean with very little or no surface noise. Minor signs of wear on the cover - but nothing significant

VG+/VERY GOOD PLUS - record has been played, has some light / hairline-type scratches - but nothing that stands out without close inspection or that can be felt (ie, nothing deep). Really should only be noticed between songs or possibly in very quiet spots and then should not be distracting or continuous. Cover could have light ringwear, small tears , scuffs or small seam splits

VG/VERY GOOD - record has been well played, could have some scratches, perhaps some minor groove wear. There will be some surface noise, occasional clicks or pops - but no skips or jumps. Cover has been well used. Possible tears, seam splits or scuffs

Unlike many other sellers I rarely grade a used item as „mint“. Usually the items are in EX (excellent) to VG (very good) condition.

I usually do not sell records in less than VG condition.

I believe that I grade fair & correct as my feedback shows:

customers are satisfied and can deal with my grading system

Last but not least: I'm a collector myself and follow the golden rule: treat your customers as you wish to be treated yourself and there'll be no trouble

If still in doubt: please feel free to contact me ahead of buying and / or bidding and I gladly explain how the grading system works and can comment specifically on the individual item in question
