The condition can vary as it mostly up to previous owners how they treated them.
As I have so many items I can’t check them one by one by listening to hear the quality, but this is what I do:
RECORDS:
-Visual check of the cover and the record itself.
-The price is adjusted when I see less good parts.
-All vinyl records will be cleaned professionally with the CLEARAUDIO DOUBLE MATRIX PROFESSIONAL SONIC and QS Cleaning fluid and after cleaning also made antistatic.
-All 10″and 12″ vinyl records will come in a new inner record sleeve with plastic lining.
DISCS (CD/DVD):
-Jewel cases, slim cases etc. will be replaced by brand new cases when possible except those discs that come in special cases or cardboard boxes specially made for that special disc.
-When the are scratches on the downside of the disc they will be polished so that scratches are removed and discs should play normal without problems.
-When necessary a disc will be played before packing to be sure it runs well.
For more information about the record cleaning and the disc repair please read the services for cleaning and repair.
Tapes:
Cassette Tapes, Reel Tapes and Video Tapes are also visually checked if there are some odd things visual on the outside but it is impossible for me to listen to and look at all tapes that I have.
When odd things are seen the item will get some extra checks by listening or watching it (partly).
Devices:
Devices will be checked visually and also on general operation. As some devices have a lot of options that not always can be checked I will mention what is checked and what not.
Also all notes will be mentioned with that device.
As VIParts is not a repair company only small repairs can be done in some cases and professional checkings and adjustments of tape heads etc. can not be executed.
Heads etc. will be cleaned with specials kits that is what I can do together with some basic operational checks.
In some cases a device is not working properly and there is too much work for me to get it fixed.
Then the device will be sold in parts, for parts or for repair.
