Sealed Records

So I got a sealed copy of leo's sunshipp today and the lp was warped when I opened it. It plays fine, but if it didnt, is it fair to ask the seller to take it back? I'm curious as to what would be fair in this situation. Great lp by the way.

I agree. You have to expect that it might be warped when it is old and still sealed. It doesn't always happen but a lot of the sealed records I find end up being a little warped.
i'd say for sealed records it's definitely buyer beware. if it was in the store you couldn't check if it was warped either, and you'd be in the same place. i almost expect old sealed records to be at least slightly warped at this point.
of course you could always just ask the seller nicely and see what the response is. especially if it's too warped to play without adjusting the weight a bunch.
Sucks, but so true
You have to pay a premium and I've been f**ked over by bean dip burners
In a perfect world, sellers would take responsibility, but sellers don't have any
knowledge of what's lurking inside a sealed LP...
usually about 20% of the sealed records i buy are warped. so i know what kind uf gamble i'm taking. i dont like buying sealed records too much.
a warped record isn't that bad. i wouldn't complain about it, unless it's impossible to play the record. my warped records still play perfectly...
