You can try to scratch or do a big backspin where it's jumping. sometimes, not very often, it worked for me!

no, I don't absolutely mind buying VG if its rated VG. For mint, you don't mind paying higher price. But after you discover that the exact track you bought the record (rated M or NM) for seems like its been practiced scratching on or been cut with a razor several times... I don't know... And after that the seller gets angry if you give bad feedback. what the fck?
has happened to me really

rant over sry

"Melchior Productions - The Meaning (2xLP, Album)
Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-) / Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG)
Comments: REcords look like UNPLAYED, but the Cover is solala "

this is the description from the seller ...

and the thing is, that there are a lot of small (just so -> __) scratches all over the track ... ca. 20 !!!

i've tried to increase the arm weight, try different needle, align the cartridge, hold the needle ... nothing worked because there are so many ...

the seller offered me to send me 5 ,-€ and i take the vinyl or i send it back and get my money ...

but in my opinion the seller must have seen the scratches cause he decline it as "look like UNPLAYED, ..." ...

woodglue? but if the scratches are too deep, like said, there's really nothing you can do
