I am an avid collector of records and over my 40 plus years of doing it I have seen a great difference in condition status and grading. There are many sites that offer such assistance but I have found this store quite unrealistic with their gradings. Some poor, fair to good title covers and vinyl in visibly bad condition are still demanding top dollar here. There is no negotiation either which is fine , just move on to find a better version of what you are looking for. buyers beware
