Nev , I totally agree about the part if you class it as vg+ it would devalue it against it being classed as excellent , I must admit I worry a bit about grading as one mans vg+ is another mans Ex or just vg , I think I tend to undergrade usually. I have only had one complaint on condition , even though I stated that it had a few scuffs and marks but played well , but obviously not on the buyers system (which is plainly better than mine) so I refunded him and told him to keep the record, not a problem.
Talking of turntables/Systems , a lot of the high end stereos B&O etc. seem to make old 45's sound worse than say playing it on a 20 year old Technics.
