Turntable Lab definately don't take warped records back. They send you a nice note telling you to try unwarping it by bending it away from the warp.
Ha ha ha. Bend it away from the warp?

they're even bitchy about doing this in person... i bought the gravediggaz reissue off them and it had skips in "bang your head" and "2 cups of blood", which were the two songs i bought the record for (well, and "trippin'"). they took it back, but gave me hipster record store attitude about it...
as for Dusty Groove, i've never bought a used piece for more than 5 bucks there (i tend to only buy cheap 7"s to fill out my order), and if anything, they were graded on the safe side... you CAN find some deals there if you scour the website, but in general their prices are too high (but, i'm REALLY cheap...). that said, if there was a site with a better selection of reissues sold as cheap as Dusty Groove sells 'em, i'd go there... they have dope shit (UK imports mostly), you just don't see anywhere else...
last week they had a copy of ramp - come into knowledge graded g- for 40 bucks$ looked alot like this:
I am a little confused as to why people are trying to return warped (new and sealed) records.
99% of new records are warped. If the record is sealed, how is ttlab supposed to know it's warped?

I dont know all the business ends of it. BUt, there is a local place that will take back NEW records that are warped. I know he sends them back to the distributer. Is that something that anyone can do?
I only have had to return 2 records because they were warped really bad, small warps are common and you have to live with.
JP is right about a lot of new records being warped - some re-issues are more warped than others & when shit is really bad, the local shops will take them back & pass you another copy. I know they send them back to the distributer. I guess they don't press them like they used to?

Agreed... when you're receiving records in the mail, you can expect that sh!t to have a slight wave most of the time... if it skips you need to return it though
Sometimes the Scorpios will be BADLY warped on the racks at your local though... its either during shipment or maybe too many windows in the warehouse?? dunno...
