Diamondsnake, it doesn't matter if the albums are in mint condition really (depends whether you are buying them as an investment or simple enjoyment I guess) but try to get them at least in "excellent" or "very good" condition.
Here's a link to Record Collector's grading system so you can see what I mean:

Don't pay too much for any of them either! It might be worth getting hold of a book (I know there's quite a few out there) that tells you the value of different records and how rare they are (I think Record Collector may publish one). A mint copy of Tusk, for example, should only cost a few pounds (or dollars) and believe me there are many out there (probably all those Rumours fans quickly dumping the record after one listen lol!)
As for Buckingham Nicks, I think you shouldn't pay more than $25 to $30 for it, and that would be in mint condition! You may luck out and find it for 25 cents but if not don't get ripped off!
Good luck!

Well I purchased a mint copy of Tusk yesterday for 5 dollars, so that is not too bad, right? It looked like it was never even played and I think I put more wear into it by just thumbing through the album then it had when I purchased it, so...
I am hoping I can find some of these albums for only a few cents. I called some local thrift shops and they said they sold albums for 10 cents, so I may take a look! You never know! And I think it is more fun anyway to hunt for them, as opposed to just ordering them online, you know?
