Everything I sell is strictly graded. I use the Record Collector standard / key - as outlined below - not the Goldmine scale..!!
M is ONLY for reissues / new releases.
M- is a pretty much unplayed record for me - any obvious signs that a record has been played and I usually downgrade to an Ex+
Ex+ is a very strong grade for me - just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn at all.
Ex still a good grade for me - just minimal signs of surface wear and tear and clean labels
VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.
VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player
VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape - lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks - not nice.
