Het advies is minimaal VG+ te kopen.

Onze producten worden beoordeeld aan de hand van de Goldmine Standard:

Mint (M)

Brand new, never played, never used and mostly sealed.

Near Mint (NM)

VINYL: The record is nearly perfect and can have very minor signs of wear. Hairlines/scuffs and very little wear can appear on the vinyl.
COVER: The cover looks close to perfect with only minor signs of wear.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

VINYL: The record is in nice condition but can have some signs of use. Some background noise/pops might be there but this will not overpower the music and total music experience.
COVER: The cover looks in nice condition with only small signs of use or other imperfections (bumped corners, price stickers, writings, etc).

Very Good (VG)

VINYL: The record has some marks, scuffs or (light) scratches. These can cause some surface noise or background noise. Overall a ‘VG’ record is strongly used but in ‘acceptable’ condition.
COVER: The cover has signs of use. The corners or edges can be damaged. Tears or little damage spots (e.g., sticker rip-off) can be present.

Good or Good Plus (G / G+)

VINYL: The record can be played without skipping but will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear.
COVER: The cover has strong signs of use. Seam splits or strong damage spots can be visible.

Poor or Fair (P / F)

VINYL: Record is cracked or badly warped and cannot play normally without skipping. Mostly bought for collection purposes only.
COVER: The sleeve is heavily damaged.

Generic

COVER: Generic means a neutral sleeve – not the original picture sleeve!
