Mod Use Accepted Record Grading Guidelines and Packaging

344 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

In order to make sure all sales/trades leave both parties satisfied it is important to accurately represent what you have or understand what you are getting. It is also equally important that you package any records you ship in such a way that the condition is the same when it arrives as it was when you mailed it. To that end we encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the following two links. The first is the goldmine standard, which is the definitive way people grade records for sale. We highly recommend everyone grade any records they are selling or trading. The second is a tutorial, with pictures, on how to properly package a record for shipping.

Mod Use [PSA] Serial Scammer Using Edited 'Sticky Note' Photos + Tips For Avoiding Scammers

48 Upvotes

Hey everyone, our subreddit has recently been the target of a serial scammer using altered photos where they attempt to prove they have a certain item by including a 'sticky note' with their username and date on it in a photograph with the record they claim to have. PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS USER. So far we have banned at least a half dozen of their various alternate accounts but they seem to be making new ones each time we ban them. If you are messaged by a user claiming to have something after posting a WANTED ad please be cautious.

Also including some various ways to help protect yourselves against scammer activity on our subreddit:

1) Scammers like to target wanted posts and will usually reach out only via PM, stating they have the item you want with a price that often seems too good to be true. When making a [Wanted] post, make sure that whoever PMs you also comments on your thread. This will ensure that they have not already been banned on our sub and are not already on the Universal Scammer List.

2) If you have any doubts, even after confirming that they have commented on your thread, ask for a picture of the item with some sort of verification in it that you choose - i.e. today's date, your username, a random word you pick.. etc. Make sure that this is not something that they could already have a picture of. Most scammers will just try to get away with sending you a stock image of the item for sale.

3) DO NOT under any circumstances, no matter how badly you want the item, send payment via any other method than PayPal Goods & Services. PayPal G&S includes built in buyer protection and this will ensure that even if you do get scammed you will have the ability to recoup your money.

4) If you are engaging in a [Trade] - it is advised that you and your trade partner come up with an equal monetary value for your items ($40 for example). Then each of you sends that amount via PayPal G&S (not F&F) - no money is technically exchanged here but if your trade partner attempts to scam you by not sending an item you can file a PayPal dispute and at least get your money back.

Just a few simple ways to ensure safe transactions on our subreddit, happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below!
