    I counsel restraint.

    Though "restraint" is not really a word that young Rey is familiar with.

    This is true, but I have revised my snipe to reflect restraint.

    pretty bad. don't buy anything less than EX. and even in those cases you're risking it. brought an EX eddie palmieri which arrived in vg+ (low end of the spectrum) with nasty grit all up in the grooves. even once it was cleaned it played poorly with noise.

    Although I scored a raer for buy it now $10, they overcharged me $9 or so on the shipping which came in a bubble wrap envelope - NO cardboard mailer. After opening it with fear of it being smashed in half, it was VG, although seller claimed VG+.
    The seams were also split totally, which the seller neglected to mention. If it wasn't for the fact that I got such a good deal, I would have been pissed. This seller also does not respond to emails.

    I was advised to "don't risk it, son" re: carolaprofits situation.

    which sucks since they seem to have PR on lock. cosine on the hefty shipping overcharges. they use the US postal service, and priority for 1 lp sure as hell doesn't cost 10$!!
