How Much Surface Noise is Too Much?


Just curious as to a range of opinions here. At what point is an LP unworthy of being played with your stylus/cartridge? Should one expect a used record store to give refunds on LPs which turn out to have more than a certain amount of surface noise/warpage and, if so, how much damage/defect should be criteria for getting one's money back? Any other thoughts along this line?

My turntable is almost as quiet as my CD player...if occasional scratches ...pops, tick's, etc. are discounted.
