The term CLEAN is not a acurate grading!

To all you record sellers and dealers. When you grade the records, please use the standard grading system (Goldmine works the best: Poor, Good, VG-, VG, VG+, NM or Mint). Saying a record is pretty CLEAN and plays well does not make it a mint record. Also granding in percents is just as stupid... what does a record that's 70% or "6 out of 10" even mean anyway? If you don't know how to properly grade records then you should not be selling them yourself... at that point you need to take your records to an expert. What makes my request even more insame is that the seller I am talking about is a strutter and been selling and buying for years, and still can't figure out how to grade a record.

What's confusing about the 10 scale? Seems pretty straightforward to me. All the Peruvian sellers I buy from grade that way and I haven't had any misgrades yet. Just think of it like the hot chick scale. Oh that record's a 7... I can "play" that
As a sidenote, I've shown some people detailed websites on how to grade records on the accepted M, NM, VG++ etc scale and they either refused to do it or said the grading scale was "too harsh." If you're grading records, do it right,have someone else do it, or say how you don't know what you are doing in the description.
That was a joke
There are much more important things to worry about in life then something like this. Get over it.
Please start using this!
Anyway I didn't give the stutter's name because it would spark a backlash against him, being that he has screwed over other people on soulstrut, but I still deal with him every once and awhile because I know him personally. Plus he's not active on the strut anymore because of his negative status.
?
My life is over. I just can't go on from this. I will be giving my entire collection away to anybody who wants it.
Just kidding! My life still has meaning.
