4yanx - thanks for the heads up. Having only purchased vinyl from Audiogon members a couple of times (and they more than met my expectations), the heads up on the bad experiences is very welcome.
Although I have no affiliation or connection with this shop other than being a satisfied customer, I have to give kudos to a primarily classical shop, Mikrokosmos in Canada (www.mikrokosmos.com).
All my purchases were conservatively rated and fairly priced (IMO). All arrived in pristine, perfect condition...as in NO signs of wear or play (!)
Of all the used purchases I've made (local stores, eBay, Audiogon), the Mikrokosmos LPs are in the best condition. Perhaps the info will be useful to someone else around here.
