How does condition affect the price?
Condition is the single most important factor when Linné Skivbörs values vinyl records — a mint copy can be worth several times more than the same title with scratches and a worn sleeve. We grade both the vinyl and the sleeve, and details like inner sleeves, inserts and labels matter too. Please don’t clean your records with unsuitable products before visiting; we would rather assess them as they are.
