To Record Sellers!!!! Please Read!!

[ozthor01]

A few Point you may want to think about when listing a LP!!

First I do understand that some sellers list a high number of items and may find the following hard...

But please think about!!

I have been shopping on ebay for some time now, buying records...

But I Like to know what is on that record!!!!

What the cover looks like is of no real value to me!! it is the songs on the records!!!

Please try to list the tracks, or post a image of track listing that can be read!!!!

I spend a lot of time searching for track listing, and even find your record on another website that lists the track at the same or better price!!! (you lost a sale)..

I will over look a LP record becouse I can't get a track record..

I don't like paying for unknown items!!!!!

and it is the songs I want!!! not the cover!!!

So even thow it may take a little longer to list each LP please give it some thought, it could make or break the sale!!!!

Oh and I have given up on asking for listing!!! most sellers dont answer!!!!

I am buying more and more records from other websites becouse of track listings!!!

You are also using an excessive amount of exclamation marks.

Not only would the track listing be helpful, but grading a record just by how it looks (ie not actually playing it) is not much use either.

I would have thought that buyers of vinyl would have a fair idea of the track list and the cover would be a very important consideration. I doubt many are buying them to play. So OP is probably in the minority.

I would, if I sold them, include track lists and play them to determine any flaws. But I don't so I don't.

Pete do you know how much better vinyl is when played on amp valve  compared to compact disks or a digital format? there is no comparison

Depends if it was originally recorded digitally I suppose and how compressed it was. But given the value of vinyl records these days, I wouldn't be game to play them, except maybe to convert them to digital.

And how many amps run on valves these days? Genuine question - I have no idea.

[yarmak]

Record collecting people I know tell me the high end stuff is amp valve these days Pete as to the number I have no idea.What I do know is that the old ones..original amp valves have seen a resurgence or at leat they did ( this was a few years back) and were getting very good money

I actually post the bare minimum of info, apart from grading. There are plenty of reference sites available to check tracklistings etc. It does not seem to hurt sales at all and saves me hours of time. So whatever floats your boat I say!

Or whatever sinks your ship.

CD sellers are just as bad and I don't know which songs are on every CD I find of every singer and band I like.

I've just been shunting to one side the old records that I acquire in mixed lots of books from auction, with a view to selling them online at some point if they seem worth it.

No big deal to provide the track list, but I'm pretty sure I don't have a turntable around the place any more to listen to them for myself. That's why my own records are up in the attic. What sort of record defects am I likely to miss by just eyeballing the record? Would it be reasonable to state in the listing that I haven't actually played it for myself... or is it really just not on to sell without playing first?
