    i don't plan on naming any names - and this is obviously a very passive-aggressive way of dealing with such an issue - but i'm over paying over $50 for misgraded records.

    If you're not gonna name the person, at
    least name the record. Give us SOMETHING.

    Did you contact the person you bought from?

    i think it would serve us better if these types of things were flushed out in public. i mean, there's a morning's worth of entertainment that this site still needs to make up for.

    Have you attempted a private conversation with the dealer regarding this?

    CO-SIGN.

    Wait for the next in "K in Canada"-type-of-situation before any more dirty laundry is aired in public.

    shit my hands ain't clean. see my currrent situation w kinetic. that was some straight up oversight cockiness on my part.

    m*** i'm starting a new job this week. i'll hit you off as soon as i get off the ground.

    but there were times where that VG+ was definitely VG-. where i was like well he didnt want to list it on ebay and take a chance. but it didn't feel great at all.

    shit but i've have internet dealers straight not send me a record i ordered or send it in very not as advertised condition and then stop answering emails on a bunch of occasions.

    Just for balance - I've had nothing but great experiences with set sales/Strut sellers.
    Just one disappointing transaction which came to what I thought was a fair conclusion - so even that was OK.
    I just got two super-duper set sale records in the mail yesterday actually - hurrah!

    PS. But, like Shig, I still generally dislike people.

    I too have had nothing but good from soulstrut set sales as a buyer, hopefully the people I've sold to have had the same experience (I haven't heard otherwise). Generally I dislike undergrading & you'd think that a board of people who act like they actually know about records would come correct.

    VG+ was definitely VG-

    My shit was a 12 dollar record, so I didn't call him out.

    But how does a NM- record sound crackly? lol

    I haven't been on the Strut for that long but have had good experiences in general and would highlight Karlophone & Hammertime as the 2 best dealers I have delt with on here so far.

    I've only bought like 6 or 7 records on here and all have been positive experiences except for this one dude who sells a pretty damn snap crackle poppin' VG+.

    But, luckily it was a $20 record and it seemed like too much off a hassle for me to go to the post office to mail it back (I'm lazy) over that kinda money.

    Oh wait then there was the time I bought a Orch Harlow record and it had the wrong record in it but the seller was very apologetic and rectified the situation.

    I have nothing but good for all the people I have bought from on this board.
    In particular the guys that will beast folk on here and then behave courteously and honourably in the real world and on the pm's - jolly good show. Carry on. Oh, and grading has been spot on.

    I think this is the very reason why people think they can get away with it. Usually they do, cuz there's no feedback system. Unless someone puts 'em on blast.

    Yes you would, but I could post a doozy of a list of "high profile" forum dudes who've sent me total bullshit. I tend to feel it's mostly due to the fact that somehow most people just don't grasp the concept of record grading rather than anything malicious though.

    I find it kind of funny that "high profile" RECORD forum dudes can't grade. What part of the game is that?

    If I really thought it would do anything more than create bad blood I would, but seriously, last time I checked people are still buying records from THEMACK.

    My experiences buying records from strutters has been totally positive. Cosign on karlophone--the records he just sent me are exactly as advertised and came with a nice little extra. Thanks!

    I've had no troubles, and have bought from quite a few people on here... just lucky?

    Maybe you guys just aren't picky enough.

    or expect the seller to "play grade" the record up for sale.

    Unfortunately when records are graded visually that can happen.
    It's a bitch but there isn't much that can be done...

    thats why I play grade my records. I make time to listen and those that don't, there is no excuse why you can't or don't. If it isn't possible to play grade then get the hell out of the record game or find a suitalbe way to accomplish this. This applys to all full time and part time sellers.
