I actually haven't had many problems with warped records. The few I've had have been right from the sealed package. I bought them from a store where it was unbearably hot almost year--I stopped going there because after 10 minutes I'd start sweating on the record bins! I took the records back for replacements.

When I started looking into ways to fix a couple of records I was stuck with because I hadn't bothered to return them right away, I found that getting the supplies to fix a warp was more expensive than just re-buying the record! So I could spend 30 bucks minimum on glass and waste a lot of time, or I could spend 15 bucks on a new copy. Hmmm....
