[QUOTE="djperkins, post: 843724, member: 17130"] Just browsing on scogs...what does "great playable copy" mean...obv the words add up...but why would you advertise a record for sale if it's not playable, it's a bit like "priced to sell" another way of spelling "I'm a nob" and if the same description is used over and over and over, like it's too much hassle to change the words around a bit, especially as most are only 3 or 4 words long anyways...all adds up to NO with me and deffo takes away any chance I would sell to them aswell. I always send a short, polite message when buying or selling, and then translate with google into the applicable language also, it may be slightly "pigeon" but you will have better comunications, I offer, and reccomend, detailed pictures of everything that I have for sale. I also only deliver 1st class with a signature, this means that your in the best position should a claim have to be made, if you don't offer a recorded details delivery service, Paypal will automatically err on the side of the buyer and take the money straight from your account. One record can be sent 1st class with a signature, a brand new mailer and 2 stiffeners for £4.50 total cost, I charge £3.90 and the price of the disc subs the rest, I also put a band of "Fragile" tape across the tab of the mailer, makes it easy to see if it's been tampered with and also makes it easy to remember for the Posty, should their input be needed at any point. No one has ever asked me for a picture, most don't eveb look as far as the delivery costs bit and wait untill you send an invoice, but if you do all of the above, you can't go wrong. I bet there have been some monumental ripoffs on there in the past tho...I have had a few buyers simply not reading the description correctly or having some bizzarre, personal idea of what is NM, VG+ etc...also had 1 bloke, Russian Federation, a while ago who tried to use his feedback power as an angle to knock some cash off the bill...after he had taken delivery of course, I sold him some very, very cheap but water damaged 1st pressings of AC/DC, Deep Purple, Rolling Stones etc...all the vinyls were mintola but the covers fkd but still supplied as promenance, because there was a comunication problem it was almost impossible to resolve through the message system, or so I thought, I am not unsympathetic to anyone who may have made a mistake or is being over protective of their 100% status, but this fkr had been drummed down to 96% very quickly and didn't seem like a genuine chap to me...
