How does one determine which records are good or bad? Is it based on soley on the visual scratches you see or is there more to it?

There's more to it, I suppose, but I never look closely as this guide suggests:

Truth be told, I rarely buy used vinyl; I just can't be bothered. Like a previous poster, I sold all of my albums (close to 800) many years ago, and I'm not about to go on a search to replace them all. Sadly, I had a good chunk of anything and everything heavy metal from Accept to Zebra.
What I will buy are re-issues produced by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, but that's about it. The quality is there and I'm not sure you can say that about some of the other new vinyl out there.
