That is the problem with selling records. They can look really good but once a buyer gets around to actually listening to it they realize it sounds terrible. Maybe check the sound before you list or at least use a bright light and check condition looking at an angle ?
not totally true
I've been dealing in vinyl for over 23 years, I've manufactured/released, distributed it, mastered audio specifically for vinyl, I've even done art and layouts for the medium. The problem is old vinyl, 78's tend to have much harsher sound then today's vinyl 12" (Yes there is huge difference, the resins used alone are different). But no light or angle will show the sound quality at best you maybe able to show if there is a a lot of scratches and scuffs. Chances are if dealing with older records, having one in Mint condition or even NM (Near Mint) is rare.
Old vinyl, especially 78's need to be cleaned (they make cleaner just for vinyl) this will clean all the dust and grim from within the playing grooves and allow the vinyl to sound as intended, even newer vinyl needs this done time to time and also good to use anti-static devise (they make these for vinyl also) - static is a records enemy just as much as any dust/grim or high/low temperatures that will warp the vinyl over time, even the way store vinyl is factor.
The great truth is there isn't one
And it only gets worse since that conclusion...
