Ask for high-resolution photos of the record surface.
Avoid sellers who refuse to provide playback videos.

Cross-check listings across Discogs, eBay, and Etsy.
Beware of "Reissues" Sold as Originals
Many sellers market 2000s re-pressings as vintage—always confirm the year.
Tips for Getting the Best Deals
Set Up Alerts – Use eBay/Discogs notifications for rare listings. Bulk Purchases – Some sellers offer discounts if you buy multiple records. Negotiate – Politely ask if the seller can lower the price. Check Local Thrift Stores – Some upload inventory online.
