Sure, bring the tricks, but I’m not going to lower the bar. If it’s worth the hunt, I’ll negotiate directly—no room for nonsense or gimmicks.

Got it. I’ll keep it straight‑up, no fluff, just the hard facts and a plan that lets you walk away with the record, no compromises. Ready when you are.

Alright, here’s the drill. Verify the pressing—serial number, label, and paper stock—before any money changes hands. Get a written confirmation from the seller that it’s a genuine 1983 Japanese run. Arrange a secure payment through a reputable escrow or wire that’s traceable, not a casual PayPal transfer. Set a firm deadline for the record to be in your hands, and if the seller can’t meet it, walk away. Keep the offer firm but fair—no back‑and‑forth. That’s the only way to get the vinyl without compromising my standards.

Sounds solid—here’s how to tighten it up. First, have a pro on site do a quick scan of the serial and label under a light to confirm the batch. Then, shoot a photo of the paper stock and keep a timestamp; that gives you an evidence trail. Ask the seller to sign a brief note confirming the 1983 Japanese run and attach the photos—no big deal, just a quick, signed PDF. For payment, set up a reputable escrow that locks the funds until you get the sealed case with the photos in the package. Put a clear cut date in the agreement—say ten business days for delivery—otherwise, no money, no record. Keep your counter‑offer at the same price you’re willing to pay, but make it clear it’s final. If they’re not up for that, just walk. No room for back‑and‑forth.

That’s solid—no room for second‑guessing. Stick to the scan, the timestamped photos, the signed PDF, escrow, and a hard delivery cut‑off. I’ll keep my counter‑offer fixed and walk if they balk. It’s all about keeping the integrity of the hunt.
