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?

Well scratched or noisy records are usually cheap. I'm talking about records without worn covers, without ring wear, without torn inner sleeves, etc. Most people did not take as good care of them as you. It's the cover condition that is rare to be found in good shape. If the record doesn't skip and isn't scratchy, Recordland usually puts it out for $10 - $15 minimum even for no name ones. Led Zep, Pink Floyd, etc. are in the $25-30 range. Heck, I bought Def Leppard - Hysteria for $30 from them last year.
