Hallo weilstein,
warum muss ich mich hier eigentlich ständig verteidigen?

Near Mint/Excellent (NM or M-)
A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear and only minor signs of being played. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either and the same should be true of any other inserts, for example posters, lyric sleeves etc..Quelle: Eil.com
Dann sei doch wenigstens so fair und drucke die gesamte Liste aus. Finde ich jetzt ziemlich krass. Da geht doch klar hervor, dass die KEINE +/- Abstufungen verwenden:
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. The item should be in brand new condition with no surface marks or deteriation. The disc, cover and any other contents (lyric sheet, booklet etc..) should be in perfect condition
Special attention should also be placed on sunlight and on sources of heat such as radiators, vents, and artifical lighting. Also beware of high humidity and water. This will cause mould to grow on the album jackets and within the inner sleeves causing unrepairable damage.

Very Good (VG)
A „Very Good“ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. There’s no major deterioration in sound quality but there maybe slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect the listening experiences. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also. In general normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G)
Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But the sound quality will probably have noticeably deteriorated perhaps with surface noise, mild scratches and visible groove wear. The cover or sleeve will have probably have seam splits, scuffing of the edges and/or discolouration.
Fair (F)
The record is probably just playable and/or the sleeve etc will be damaged or torn.
Poor (P)
The record is probably cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve will be damaged, split or heavily de-faced by wear and writing. Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, these are only of use as a collection filler.

Du hast übrigens nur zwei Läden genannt, die das System nicht nutzen, da fallen mir fallen doch glatt auch zwei ein die es benutzen:
Versteh ich jetzt nicht, die verwenden doch nur used und new!

Fein, die verwenden tatsächlich ex+ usw. Bedeutet aber immer noch nicht, dass RC, eil und vinyltap es anders machen.
Wie gesagt: Ich habe durchaus registriert, dass zumindest hier im Forum +/- Abstufungen nicht ganz unerwünscht sind. Wir werden uns also sicher nochmal Gedanken dazu machen. Danke erstmal.
Schönen Abend,
Christof
