Guest rachel Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Noticed there was a topic on here a few weeks ago about an eBay buyer being unhappy because they hadn't realised that the description meant there was a crack in the record. Had the odd question myself when selling things ("WOL - does it affect play?" ). Think we all (within all the wonderful variations you get) know what M, VG etc mean but thought it might be handy to try and get some sort of list of all the other abbreviations you get - know I'm still puzzled by the odd one! Pinched these off Manship... SS = Still Sealed STR = Sticker STRM = Sticker Mark LT = Label Tear NAP = Does Not Affect Play WL = Writing on Label CR = Crack DJ = Demo Copy WRP = Edge Warp DSH = Storage Dish SWR = Sleeve Wear PS = Picture Sleeve and these off a sales list I had lying about... WOL = Writing on label LWOL = Large writing on label STOL = Sticker on label STMOL = Sticker mark on label STL = Small tear on label TL = Tear on label SOL = Stain on label LSW = Label slightly worn LW = Label worn WDL = Water damage on label (think I've also seen this as 'H20'?) SN = Surface noise Anyone add to the list? The ones you use when selling, or if you've got a handy guide anywhere... or if anyone wants to ask about any that have had them baffled......
