And an update on this as I contacted the seller and after a bit of back and forth communication they agreed to a refund of postage which should have been £3.95 (and would have been around what I would have agreed to), but it ended up somehow being a refund of £7.90 which means that lot cost me a...
I've just had my first case of used record mis-grading from an eBay seller I've used before...
This isn't one of the mis-graded items since I would considered the sleeve grading to be accurate and you'd have to be really anal to find anything on the record.
This is out first mis-graded item...
It could be your record player as those that use a ceramic cartridge do have issues with skipping on records that are either bass heavy or contain certain frequencies (this also includes certain players like the older ATLP60 which uses a moving magnet cartridge, but not all players that use it...
I got another suitcase turntable, but this one is going to be for whenever I want to play any of the 7" records I have that won't skip on players that use a ceramic cartridge along with seeing what the out of the box "quality" is since its bigger brother is going to be the actual replacement...
Another album, but from the Amazon warehouse which I didn't expect to still be sealed and only have a few creases considering it was marked as used.
And another little bit of reading matter.
I would advise not getting that as it's pretty much the same as all those cheap suitcase record players since it uses the same stylus that has issues with skipping on certain records (mostly bass heavy records, and it isn't a 2000's records issue as I've had two 90's 7" singles skip).
If you...
A rather non descript box (once I took the shipping label off), and inside (prepare for image overload)...
I ordered a starter record collection which was supposed to contain 20 7" records, but it had 2 extra which I call a bonus considering that at £23 it make that just over £1 per record...
The replacement GPO PR50 turned up today, and while it's in a better state then the defective one (the headphone socket does at least work on this one) with the exception of the damage to the cover near the back of the tone arm (about the same as was on the defective unit) it wasn't all good as...
A nearly non descript box if you didn't look at this side, but inside...
A nice little case for my 7" records.
Now I need to get one for the 12" records (just not anytime soon since I'm not going to have that many at the moment).
More music, although I'll have to wait for the replacement GPO PR50 to arrive (they did send a prepaid returns label so I got that sent out earlier on today) as tetris has some skipping issues which I'm currently putting down to cheap turntable syndrome as there things can't handle some things...
It's amazing the kind of stuff I was listening to some years ago.
I only got this because it has a track that was on one of my hand me down 7" (I can't complain given the £4.49 I paid).
And this might have been the icing on the cake if the headphone socket wasn't knackered (I could only get...
More 7" purchases (because the new eBay purchase system is stupid because even if you want to use paypal to pay, anyone that hasn't moved to the "enhanced" payment system has to be paid for separately and my bank is an ass in regards to cardholder not present transactions because if I go over 3...
More vinyl except of the old kind this time as I'm trying to rebuild my collection in case the stuff I originally had wasn't put into storage when my father moved.
Tracking on royal mail is flakey at best currently as I had a package shipped in December and the first update after "sender dispatching item" was when it reached the local mail centre, so only having "sender dispatching item" in tracking doesn't mean that royal mail doesn't have the item and is...
Some more music on vinyl
90's (although I'm doubting the 180g heavyweight vinyl declaration on the back as it doesn't feel as heavy as one of the a silent voice records).
A load of classic rock (I had to use my arm to remove the glare given off by the light bulb).
And to finish off a scale...
My first physical item purchase from the squareenix store (since all my other purchases were either digital or FF14 time cards) as it was on sale at the time and meant that I didn't have to pay £45 to Amazon as it only cost £24 after shipping was added (and would only have cost about £4 or so...
I got a thing that "experts" will tell you not to get because they think that they'll render records unplayable after a few plays when in fact they don't know crap and that these are pretty decent as long as they aren't above the acceptable tracking force for the stylus (and the standards set...
