My Saga Behaviour LP arrived today, and it was enclosed in a loose clear plastic bag (then put into a large box with another item, without any air pillows or other padding).... It was NOT shrinkwrapped, in other words, and I can see from the Discogs listing that it should have been. So apparently I got a return? It does have some weird defect on the outer edge of both sides of the vinyl, just before the lead-in grooves so it's easily avoided. But it's easy to see when the turntable is spinning, with every rotation. And the vinyl has some light scuffs and fingerprints. And the inside sleeve has seam splits from rattling around during transit. HOWEVER, despite all that, none of the corners got crushed or bent (wow), and I'm halfway through side two and it sounds just fine with no significant pops or skips. My guess is if it was a return, it was from someone who's more picky about their vinyl than I am. Hope I am not coming back here in 10 minutes to edit this post, in case I encounter some serious sound issue by the time side two finishes!
Believe it or not, this isn't really a bargain for this album. I bought it last month for $14.80, and it has been below $18 for most of the past few months.
Still too much for me, but i think this is the first movement on the What's Going On 50th i have seen, down to 29.89 from 39.98. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095GNLVS3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I'm hoping for a 40percent-ish drop before i get it...somewhere in the $25 and below range....
The see-sawing prices continue on the Who Sell Out SDE, which is now: The Who Sell Out 2 Singles has decreased from $99.99 to $58.70

Amazon Warehouse is in the process of another big purge-and-restock I think. About 90% of the vinyl LP listings disappeared over the weekend, many which had been there for months, and it looks like they are quickly restocking. Still several hundred items should be added to get them up to their normal running rate of around 1,000 titles. In general, I have been pleased with the Amazon Warehouse purchases I've been buying recently. Lots of sealed records marked 'acceptable' with a dinged corner. I can live with that to save $8 or so.
Yes, here is the long link to search Vinyl Warehouse Deals by newest release date. You can also search by lowest price. I use both regularly. Amazon.com

I know it's the off-season, but the jazz Christmas album by Austrian singer Simone Kopmajer is one of my favorites. She's got one of those crystal-clear, European voices, and a simple jazz trio behind her. $8.40 in Like New Condition: https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-SIMONE-KOPMAJER/dp/B08JVLBW4H
Based on your post I opened my Maroon copy to check for off centeredness. It was perfectly centered BUT - A chip off the side, 1/2" long, 1/8" deep, and a defect on the lead in grooves to song 1 makes this a no brainer return - EDIT: I'm gonna roll the dice and exchange it for another. Fingers crossed
This nifty bachelor-pad reissue from Sundazed is currently the lowest priced vinyl item at $3.58 (two bucks cheaper than the mp3 version!)
