the records also have versions for sale that are cheaper, but no other items from my wantlist on each seller.
so I'll save 14 euros on the record prices and pay the shipping 5-6 times. no thanks

What's wrong with popping and crackling? Listen to some sets by Ricardo, Zip or RPR guys. A lot of records they play, especially the older ones, pop like crazy. No one seems to mind. Ricardo especially is notorious for not taking proper care of his vinyls. Even the new stuff he plays that just came out always crackles like it's been played every day for the past 10 years. Nevertheless his sets don't sound any worse because of it.ray parry wrote:The Chef is the one for me.
He has about 15 things I want. If he was UK I would have bought them all.
I have been burnt a few times recently with people not grading stuff properly. really fucks me off because you wait all that time and i tend to order if i want to play it at a gig coming up and then you cant. they give you a refund, and then you have to buy from someone else for more money. i got sent a record in such a bad state yesterday that it just crackles and pops all the way through and it was listed as vg+. its totally unplayable, not even for home use.

1. ricardo treats his records like sh!t, cause he became DJ at a time where you could get any record in perfect new condition if you want. further i would also treat my records like sh!t if i had a million euro in my bank account and i knew every producer from the last 20 years personaly.
2. only cause ricardo and zip play records that sound like sh!t cause they crackle and pop, does not mean we should do the same
3. if i pay money for a product and i dont get it in the promised quality, that just makes me very angry and believe me in that moment i dont care a bit if ricardo and zip would play it anyway. to be honest it makes me so angry that i would like to take the record and break it in half, cause there is simply no other use for it anymore.
btw, never heard ricardo play a record which pops and crackles "like crazy".
and also, wtf man you like if records pop and crackle like crazy? if i have to listen to such a record its so disturbing want to leave the room.
