Quote:Amazon's 3rd party vendor description is vague
John,
Sorry you had these issues.
I am a definite, (and unfortunate) Amazon addict. There are so many things that I order from them - and the fast shipping can be amazing.
But, with that said, there are certain items that I never order from them. Albums are number one on that list - generally because of the reason quoted above. They seldom give any of the normal information that you look for, like condition, pressing info, etc.
I get my albums, generally, from Discogs, and eBay, sometimes. Still kind of a crapshoot, but if you stick to sellers with high feedback ratings, I have a pretty good success rate.
Best,
Geno
