Never mind...
Nobody wants to answer...
Have thousands of records to sell & have difficulty getting started.
So they will continue to sit on shelves unplayed, not heard for immediate future.

I would just do a visual on them to be sure there are no apparent defects. (if they are already unsealed.)

 

If a buyer claims SNAD you will be refunding even if you had spent hours enjoying the sound of vinyl:)

Most do a visual and describe if they see scuffs, scratches or warping.  Look at it carefully in good light.  The best way to see a warp is to put on turntable but you can see it without turntable if it's really bad.  Describe any defects you see.  Also look at the jacket for ring wear, splits, writing, etc.  Some will play grade before selling and describe sound quality.  More time consuming but buyers like this if they are paying top dollar for somethng very collectible.  Photo graph front and back of cover, record front and back and any special features, such as booklet etc.
