WOW!  Unless she has a nearly perfect MONO copy.... she paid WAY TOO
MUCH!!!!  Especially if it has a sticker (AAAAHH!!) on the cover. 
Take 25% off the value right there for that.

FBO friends... remember... don't pay too much for old vinyl.

There's a lot of dishonest asses out there who overprice their vinyl.

Don't accept ANY FLAWS... stickers... folded corners... slight water
damage... faded covers (AKA "ring wear"- circular marks on the cover
from being stored w/ the LP inside).... dirty vinyl... scuffed vinyl...

The book lists a stereo copy.... IN PERFECT CONDITION.... at fifty
bucks.

YOU SHOULD NEVER PAY THAT PRICE!!!  Why?  Because NO RECORD IS
PERFECT!  Even "still sealed" (ie, never been opened, original shrink
wrap) LPs have flaws...

She paid $60 for a LP book valued at $50... plus, there's a garage
sale sticker stuck to it.

Should've offered the guy $20.  Maybe $25.  Only if the record was,
indeed, PERFECT!!!
