This is a great tool but the interface are a bit simplistic, the the point that it distracts from the utility. I assume you know this though.<p>It wasn’t clear to me that the grade at the top changes as you choose options. Most tools would show the score at the end of the process. I scrolled to the end and then hit the email sign up, as if it was the button to see results.<p>I’d suggest to make it impossible to select mutually exclusive options. For example, selecting that the record is still sealed cuts out a lot of the questions, but there is no indication in the interface.

Missing the real-life seller grades:<p><pre><code> EX- &#x2F; VG++(+) M+ Skip on A2, otherwise MINT SOLID PLAY COPY </code></pre> (Kidding, nice tool!) Goldmine does have a bit of a no-man&#x27;s-land between NM and VG+, though.

Good timing showing this on Record Store Day<p>&quot;a badly warped record is most of the time (if not all) also audibly warped.&quot;<p>I find that there are other variables involved. I have warped records that are standard 33rpm, which play fine. If the record is 45rpm, there is a much greater tendency to skip.<p>The type of music also matters. With Music with a greater dynamic range, or with more &quot;quiet&quot; parts, you can &quot;hear&quot; the warps as the needle bounces up and down. With louder music, this noise will be hidden by the music.<p>Nice tool, I&#x27;ll try a few more examples.

Photo examples of each option hidden behind [?] Callouts would help when deciding what &quot;a little&quot; means.
