Second hand vinyl information

You can order used LPs from Bob's Vinyl with confidence. Quality is our top priority! We always adjust the price to the condition of the cover and vinyl. So you always pay a correct price for the product.

(The numbers after the album title (B10, G50 etc.) represent the location in our warehouse, so not important to you)

We indicate the condition of second-hand LPs using this symbol: The condition of the cover and vinyl are indicated separately. We indicate the condition on a scale of 1 to 5.

For example:

Cover: (= condition of the cover is 3 out of 5 points)
Vinyl: (= condition of the LP is 4 out of 5 points)

Explanation points

Cover:

: 1 out of 5 points. Very bad. LPs with sleeves in this condition are not sold by BOB's VINYL .
: 2 out of 5 points. Reasonable condition, but not really worth it. LPs with sleeves in this condition are in principle not sold by BOB's VINYL, unless they are special or rare copies.
: 3 out of 5 points. Good condition, but with quite a few signs of use. Think of 'ringwear' (see photo below), and/or bent corners, and/or wear on the edges and/or small tears in the cover and/or 'promo cutouts' (see photo below) and/or written texts on the cover and/or tape on the edges. >> Comparable to VG
: 4 out of 5 points. Very good condition with some minor signs of use. Think of 'ringwear' (see photo below), or bent corners, or wear on the edges or small tears in the cover or 'promo cutouts' (see photo below) or written texts on the cover or tape on the edges. >> Comparable to VG+
: 5 out of 5 points. In mint condition. Covers with a 5 out of 5 predicate are in (almost) mint condition. There are hardly any signs of use visible, if there are any they are negligible. But beware: these LPs are not new. >> Comparable to NM or EX

Vinyl

: 1 out of 5 points. Very bad. LPs in this condition are not sold by BOB's VINYL .
: 2 out of 5 points. Reasonable condition, but not really worth it. Vinyl contains many scratches that are experienced as very annoying during playback. LPs in this condition can also skip at various points. LPs in this condition are in principle not sold by BOB's VINYL, unless they are special or rare copies.
: 3 out of 5 points. Good condition, however with quite a few traces of use. There may be some scratches on the record that cause 'ticking' when playing. It is also possible that the record skips or gets stuck at a point. >> Comparable to VG
: 4 out of 5 points. Very good condition with some minor signs of use. Records in this condition may have some minor scratches. These scratches are not or barely audible during playback. Records in this condition do not skip. >> Comparable to VG+
: 5 out of 5 points. In mint condition. Records with a 5 out of 5 predicate are in mint condition. There are hardly any signs of use visible, let alone audible. If there are any small scratches, they are negligible. But beware: these LPs are not new. >> Comparable to NM or EX
