180g new vs. NM used

Hi all, 

Following up on my previous post on vinyl repair.  So assuming I want to replace the record, am I better off going with used in VG+/NM or just some sort of new 180g pressing?  If this has been previously discussed feel free to direct me to that thread.  

Thanks,

EW

NM is very loosely used at Ebay and Discogs. Occasionally a record will be NM, but in most cases not.  I prefer to buy a new 180 gm copy unless I know for sure that the used pressing is the one I want and that the seller is reputable and stands by his products.

It's a toss up Imo. New is safe. And the remaster may be better. It depends on the album and if the used one is correctly graded.. Likewise it depends on who mastered the new one
