who does this?
it's my new habit.
|
|
|
Selling or buying? I've had good luck doing both.
|
|
|
I do both.
|
|
|
Ever since Savage Clone advised me to look at this site a while back, I use it to verify
if somebody's prices are nut-case or not. It works for me.
When something isn't listed here I get a little confused what to do next.
|
|
|
I do. I've got a long ways to go with my collection and trying not to buy when I get wish list updates.
|
|
|
awesome. fuck ebay forever.
|
|
|
most my prices are nutcase.
i get excited when something isn't listed.
|
|
|
I thank you in advance for helping to cure my affliction by passing all your unlisted LPs to me.
|
|
|
Speaking of which, who is selling their collection at HiFi Sound? Whoever you are, you are HILARIOUS.
|
|
|
When Shuga is in town, no one else compares in hilarity.
Discogs is so good. Best deal for sellers, easy comparison shopping for buyers.
I also like that the competition factor exists among sellers and does not wind up being between buyers.
|
|
|
i look every once in awhile. mostly to use it as a pricing guide for my stuff. seems really cool. but i never order records through the mail
|
|
|
it's like everyone's house is their own Japanese record shoppe.
|
|
|
I also appreciate the fact that, unlike gemm, all copies of a given record are under a single entry, rather than being subject to the vagaries of how individual sellers choose to list their record.
|
|
|
I like that they added in where you can look at your collection with the average sale values listed in so I can figure if there's anything valuable enough in my collection I wouldn't mind parting with.
|
|
|
I like the "X number have/X number want" stats listed for things.
Beware when adding to the databse, though. The moderators are super anal and make you do any and all revisions, even though anyone can edit these things. It can be annoying.
|
|
|
I am in the process of discogging (for sale) approx. 500 lps and CDs!
Some of my pricing will be nutcase, reflecting my love, but others will be totally reasonable. I'll BUMP when stuff is ready for my lil online store.
and YES, it's really exciting when I realize I have stuff that's unlisted yet, sanpeeps.
|
|
|
ohhh looking forward to that list
|
|
|
Just don't try to sell your copy of Tapestry for $8--that niche is already covered here in town.
|
|
|
I also love Bookfinder. I've got all my dead media needs covered.
|
|
|
does Bookfinder let individuals sell, or just shops?
I seem to recall checking it out as a potential seller, like, 10 years ago or so, and encountering some restriction or another that would have made it tough fo rme to unload a few rare books.
|
|
|
i'm doing all my 7"s, various artists, international and spoken word records right now.
|
|
|
I like this.
|
|
|
I took a quick look, and why is this better than Amazon Marketplace? Serious question.
|
|
|
it's music specific
it allows you to see what any given record has been selling for
low fees
|
|
|
i signed up again. i think i'm gonna start listing things. ohh i did forget how sweet this site is
|
|
|
I also use it to keep track of my collection
|
|
|
The only thing I don't like about this site is the fact that paypal payments don't show what the person is paying for. However, for the free listing and nominal 6% sales fee at time of sale, I can deal with that.
|
|
|
sanpeeps, I am ready to look at your international LPs.
|
|
|
whoops, sorry--Roar, I've never tried to list on bookfinder; I just go to it all the time
to check going-rates for used books, which is also how I mostly use discogs.
|
|
|
Savage, yeah i agree. and the method of invoicing could be a little more formal so i don't like have to do my own math and stuff.
|
|
|
As I said here, once discogs finalizes a way to load data from a spreadsheet, it is all over. They're working on it, a good friend of mine is their "guinea pig". There are a few issues that need to be worked out, but I'm not complaining. I have about 200 records up for sale there, I've sold 6 or 7 so far.
I've been selling hells of records on cdandlp.com . It took me 20 minutes to load 28,000 records onto their site, and it is now 30% of my business. Primarily French, Swiss, other European buyers, some Japanese too.
|
|
|
Q:
How, if you've found a title on discogs, but no one has it listed for SALE, can you mark it for sale and move it over to Markeplace?
|
|
|
Just click on "sell your vinyl." You will see it in the same frame as "X has/X want" and "Add To Collection/Add To Wantlist."
|
|
|
Yes, but the ones that have none listed for sale don't seem to have that function button. Or do you mean I look at MY collection, and choose 'sell'? Cuz I dont see that either.
|
|
|
Well, the one I'm looking at says 'new addition and has yet to be rated'. Does that have something to do with it?
|
|
|
ok, duh, i found it. thanks!
|
|
|
They would do well to make the type bigger for that function.
|
|
|
no kidding.
|
|
|
they'd also do well if you could use the same listing for CD's and automatically transfer the info to edit for an LP listing. starting a new listing takes forever..
|
|
|
It does. I'm really not THAT into records that i wanna list every damn track on the thing.
|
|
|
What names do y'all sell under? I was looking at buying a few things and as long as the prices are relatively competitive I might as well get 'em from folks here.
|
|
|
I sell under the "amh" moniker. Last month I unloaded a ton of recs and got paid $200. Just one remains.
|
|
|
I'm RandyCrouton
|
|
|
"adamtzolkin"
I don't have an incredibly "cool" selection up, and it's not nearly done. Furhtermore, when I do, it will be about a quarter classical music. That said, please make an offer if you peep something. I'm adding stuff daily.
|
|
|
Oh and BTW, SHIPPING IS FREE to anywhere, and if you'd like forego the postal system and arrange a meet up for a sale, that will be definitely taken into account in negotiating prices.
|
|
|
link to your sale pg ...
|
|
|
Free shipping to anywhere in the world can cost you a lot of money.
I am usually happy to eat the cost of domestic media mail, but no way am I sending four LPs to Japan free of charge.
|
|
|
I understand how to see a seller's other items when I've already found one,
but how does one search a seller's items cold? Other than the link (seconded to f&f)
|
|
|
Poll: Where do you all get your intl LP mailing price guidelines?
|
|
|
K, now I'm scurred, SC! Roughly how much would asian mail cost?
I tried to price higher accordingly, but....
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shipping one LP to Japan or Australia can cost almost 20 dollars if you factor in the dollar for the mailer.
Registered mail costs another $11.50 on top of regular shipping costs.
Also, be sure to mark all packages as "gift" and decalre low values on the customs form! That is customary with international orders, because a lot of countries require that taxes be paid on high-value items when they are picked up at the post office. If you sella really expensive record to someone overseas and mark the actual value on the package, you might get an angry email.
|
|
|
yeah how do you search sellers?
|
|
|
or i mean for sellers
|
|
|
Oh shit, thanks for the tips, Clone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Awesome, just made my first sale.
I have gotten through about a quarter of my stock so far, about 130 records. Search for your favorite musical music: classic rocknroll, jazz, classical, psych, pop....
And please don't be shy to make an offer, some are priced deliberately high.

agggh, PM me

Love discogs. I need to get my collection punched in one of these days.
|
|
|
Sigh. This "VG/VG" LP I received today has skips that start about 10 seconds in.
I emailed the seller asking to trade back, plus return postage. Hoping. Oh, discogs.
|
|
|
Oh boy. That's my worst fear in selling this stuff. You wanna be honest/accurate, yet, I really can't sit down and listen to each and every record as I go.
So, I'm realizing there's a near complete dearth of classical music on discogz. SIGH, indeed. Any tips on alternative site to sell such things? I have a decent-sized collection.
|
|
|
2 sales done! This is great fun, lads.
|
|
|
Looking at yr stuff now!
|
|
|
Nomeansno - Wrong! One of my favorite records that I've never owned on vinyl. Too rich for my blood, though.
|
|
|
just pm'd ya Liz
|
|
|
mr liz -- your prices seem too high (fwiw)
|
|
|
That Nina Nastasia is tempting.
|
|
|
Oh shit! I didn't know that Julie Ruin s/t was ever issued on LP! PM'd.
|
|
|
I know they're high, I mentioned that earlier.
They reflect a couple things: a) a bargaining margin, which is pretty flexible, b) my attachment to a particular release, and c) FREE SHIPPING.
For example, like Rae, I LOOOVE the nomeansno record; only willing to part with it for a high offer.
|
|
|
3 things!
|
|
|
those reasons seem really stupid to me... sorry.
if the point of posting the records is to sell them, he prices shouldn't be that high. I'd never want to make an offer to someone with near-shuga pricing ($16.99 for 'remain in light' ?).
take that as you will, but I do buy & sell on discogs often...
|
|
|
The point IS to sell them.... for a price that is reasonable TO ME.
If you don't like it, take yr crabby ass to the next parlor, holmes. Seriously.
|
|
|
"sorry"
|
|
|
ok!
|
|
|
ah, the dilemma shows up...
|
|
|
HA!
I just really don't see what is the problem with haggling. Timidity? I mean, low-ball me for christ's sake, I PROMISE I won't be offended.
|
|
|
I'm with F&F on this one..
High priced listings cause others to believe they can get away with higher pricing. It hurts the buyers big time.
|
|
|
I will consider this issue, but I'm still a bit perplexed: if you can strike a bargain with sellers and both parties get a fair deal, what's the harm here?
|
|
|
I spend all day haggling. I LOVE IT.
|
|
|
Sayin.

Poll: Where do you all get your intl LP mailing price guidelines?

Speaking of, is making a counter offer on discogs something you can do? or is it like a one time only thing like they describe?
|
|
|
I will consider this issue, but I'm still a bit perplexed: if you can strike a bargain with sellers and both parties get a fair deal, what's the harm here?
for me, as a buyer, it's not worth haggling with someone who's pricing scheme is out of wack, it's a waste of time, generally. I would look elsewhere.
|
|
|
fair enough. it's good to know these things.
might I ask you then, is there anything in my cache you find appealing?
(I had no idea this would be so much like courting.)
|
|
|
HEAD GAMES
|
|
|
ALSO, like in any market activity, my prices are likely to fall with time, so...... please chill if you REALLY hate the idea of haggling.
|
|
|
K-o_M, there is a thread where this was discussed in great detail, but I CAN'T FIND IT
|
|
|
a seller can set up an item so it is available for counter offers from buyers
|
|
|
Oh dip.
|
|
|
f&f do you have a discogs page?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Liz - re: pricing: if I'm looking up a record and see it available through a few different sellers, I'll click on the ones with the lowest listed price. The "free shipping" part qualifies as small print that will probably go past most people. You might have more luck if you keep the shipping costs separate.
|
|
|
I appreciate the tips, I might reassess things in a bit.
|
|
|
and as far as haggling goes - if I'm buying something at, say, a record show, I might throw out a "hey, wanna round it down to $30 for the lot?" kind of thing when I'm ready to ring out... but for online sellers, I don't have much taste for a longer, drawn-out haggling process. The combo of decent shape / lowest upfront price is what I'll go for. That's just me, though. YMMV.
|
|
|
& that Julie Ruin LP is really good.
|
|
|
these are good points.
|
|
|
now, on the classical selling front? any advice? i really dont wanna submit all these new entries to discogs.
|
|
|
what the pricing really comes down to is my ambivalence about letting good records go! haha. this is EMOTIONAL BUSINESS, man.
|
|
|
I am inexperienced: can anyone tell me how to process and invoice? And send it to the buyer?
|
|
|
the local classical expert since Earl Root of Root Cellar passed away is Adam Rosen at SHUGA.
It gets less emotional when the cash starts rolling in, believe me.
|
|
|
I really think you should change yr seller name to EmotionalBusiness.
|
|
|
oh i like that name Rae! HA!
I'm just peepin for a site to sell classical records on.
and i figured out the silly invoice thing now.
|
|
|
i don't care what ya think about my prices.
y'all were sleeping on my Iron Maiden 10"..
it's gone!
|
|
|
I added 40 more records.
|
|
|
Now: THE CDs.
|
|
|
I just put some stuff up here on a whim last night and I've already sold 7 records...
|
|
|
why would it matter how high someone else's prices are? that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. especially on a site where "make an offer" exists, which is probably what you should be doing for EVERY record you want if you're a truly rational part of this particular capitalist equation.
|
|
|
emotional business is fucking awesome, i almost want to record an album just to title it that
|

OK, now that I've sold a few things, any advice on packaging? I'm sending media mail, FWIW. I've used makeshift cardboard packaging before, but I'm wondering what I can do for a little classier/safe option.
|
|
|
i know cheapo sells record mailers.
couple bucks a piece.
|
|
|
Neato
|
|
|
Cheapest mailers around are here
|
|

i should mention i know only that Tony's underground layer of records at Cheapo Uptown sells them.
can't speak for the others.
|
|
|
whoa, thanks Roar!
|
|
|
thank f&f, he hipped me to them. i'd used bagsunlimited.com for years, but these guys are half the price.

Hey link ya pages!

i posted mine above.
but here it is again

Thank you!

Oooof! My eyes are burning:
330 + cataloged and for sale.
|
|

I'm closing in on 30,000 for sale on gemm.com & cdandlp.com. Partially thanks to sanpeeps, who started this thread.
There are quite a few who make their living selling records online, it's not a bad little racket. A few post here regularly. I'd guess there is 50 people in the twin cities who make their living selling records online.
There are A LOT of people who need help selling their stuff, I suggest if you are considering a career switch & want to work from the comfort of home, consider it. I've never heard of one person who sold stuff online seriously & quit to do something else cuz they didn't like it or it didn't work out for them financially.
"It beats working"
|
|
|
Totally feel ya. This is a new thing for me, I have had this weird attachment to even the crappiest of crap in my collection for years, kind of an archival pack rat of sorts, but now I'm deciding to let stuff go, and it's a different kind of satisfaction.
i am not super record savy, but I do like the idea of making this a part-time income thing.
|
|
|
OOOOF, just sold my Assuck CD. I go WAY BACK with that one. :)
|
|
|
CDs are so easy to sell, just copy it and you still "have" it, kinda. Just Xerox the book & tray card.

YES, exactly what i just did.

please continue to keep us posted on your new items for sale

And keep pricing VG records as though they were sealed mint copies.
You do realize that grading affects price expectations, right?
|
|
|
Yr fuckin cute.
|
|
|
^^^to fruit, of course.
SC actually IS super cute.
|
|
|
Prices subject to change, naturally. It's a market.
|
|
|
I guess that is what the "make offer" button is for. I don't have the patience for that function myself.
|
|
|
If the pricing is so insane, why am I scrambling to keep up with the orders coming in the past few days?
go ahead say it: "Because you have manual dexterity problems?"
|
|
|
"I guess that is what the "make offer" button is for. I don't have the patience for that function myself. "
totally, exactly, precisely. not for everyone, but it's so far been nothing but smooth sailing with all the buyers. All I'm concerned with is the platters getting there in one piece. And grading correctly.
|
|
|
I was just making fun of one Richard Thompson LP that sold for around your price in twice as good of condition; I had assumed that this was one of your aforementioned "love-based" prices.
|
|
|
HAHA, now THAT'S a low blow. I totally love that album, yes.
|
|
|
I have a signed copy of that record. If anyone wants to be me, Make Offer.

WHOA!

you've got a signed thompson, or signed lifetime, KOM?

Roar, thx for the link to Fingerpop -- even with shipping they beat Uline's price for 100 mailers (picked up in Eagan) by $9.
|
|
|
My attempt to sell most of my CDs hasn't gone as badly as I was afraid it might.
I just sold a Gimmer Nicholson CD for $32, so I guess CDs aren't totally worthless yet...
|
|
|
Considering that I've been hearing that CDs are worthless, I'm doing a lot better than I expected.. My Beatles CDs have been averaging around $8 and they're the ones with the shitty '80s mastering job. I just sold a Steve Hoffman-mastered Louvin Brothers compilation for $31...
|
|
|
I'm moving soon and planning to get rid of all of my CDs except for a couple of boxed sets (but retain all my vinyl, of course).
I'm debating going the discogs route or just selling the lot to a shop. I figure I can probably make significantly more money with discogs, but then I have to actually go and mail the bastards, which is a definite minus.
|
|
|
I've also had some surprising luck with CD sales, Neil. Some don't even make an offer or anything.
|
|
|
i show no mercy with offers.
fuck these people.
|
|
|
???
|
|
|
i just mean anytime someone offers you less you should automatically raise your price.
|
|
|
I love offers, it is the grease of capitalism. 50% of my sales are based on low offers.
|
|
|
Ditto. I think this kind of thing is free market capitalism in a sector that is appropriate and the way it SHOULD be.
|
|
|
By 2014 discogs sales will be >50% of Afghan GDP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ohhh i think i might be interested in ether teeth lp. i'm gonna look through some more and see what i can find too
|
|
|
lots more random stuff available, and prices have dropped here and there. not sufficiently so for some of you, I'm sure.
BUT!
http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?seller=adamtzolkin
If anyone is interested in a big batch of Uruguayan 70s/80s pressings of folk, poetry, pop, and classical stuff that i acquired, get to me. It's mostly obscure and I'm quite lazy to upload all the details.
|
|
|
Will deliver locally, with free shipping obv.
|
|
|
howie, just let me know when you wanna even up on that KORN LP.
|
|
|
i found a brainiac cd at the salvation army that sold for $40!!!!
|
|
|
Can anyone tell me something about this Dinosaur Jr. "Water" CD/album I have? It was released by Red Devil Music (Australia) in '92. That's all I know. Google, popsike, discogs and musicstack yield zilch.
|
|
|
just put up a ton more reggae CD's and lowered all the hipster indie stuff prices.
have had a lot of response so i appreciate from whoever is buying this stuff..
|
|
|
ooofta. put up nearly 600 items now, on a very slow connection.
that doesn't account for aprox 90% of my classical stuff that isn't on discogs, so if you're into that Rich People Music, I got tons of quality vineels.
|
|
|
I'm planning on having 31,000 titles up on discogs soon, all with a posh of a button.
|
|
|
wow. dangz!
|
|
|
I guess the database spreadsheet upload function must be coming though!
|
|
|
I just sold a Sigur Ros record that I only listened to once for $70. I had no idea it was worth anything...
|
|
|
I sold mine for 80. It's amazing what some people will pay to be bored.
|
|
|
(there have been instances of insane biding wars pushing some SR Lps up last 200.00)
|
|
|
it appears as though if you purchased new indie rock LPs between 1997 and 2002 or so, you probablymight something that's worth some $$. I don't know of the exact time frame, but it seems like everything I look up on ebay that I have from then has sold for $50 or more.
|
|
|
those were the years I got all the indie rock on vinyl I wanted- for free- cuz of my job.
read: early retirement
|
|
|
yay!!!
|
|
|
I can't believe I was buying new CDs between 10-15 years ago. I would be rich if I had invested the extra $2 in vinyl copies.
|
|
|
i just sold two Burning Witch LP's for $130. insane.
|
|
|
1994 was the lowest vinyl production year, so major label mainstremy stuff is often valuable from the years around that area.
|
|
|
I bought new vinyl 10 yrs ago cause it was actually less expensive. $10-11 as opposed to $13.99.
|
|
|
yeah i remember new vinyl used to be cheap. i think i bought that strokes record for $10
|
|
|
Yes that's true, there was a period where vinyl was cheaper than CDs. I used to buy stuff I wasn't 100% sure about on vinyl. Arise Therefore, Cunning Stunts, Isn't Anything - all on vinyl. I'm 100% sure about all those now tho.
|
|
|
I sold my copy of Taint Pluribus for $45.00 two weeks ago.

Can't wait to sell off a portion of my shit, need to downsize/thin the he(a)rd.

I sold my copy of Taint Pluribus for $45.00 two weeks ago.
Sexy Pee Story got 35.
Hmmm, I wonder how much I could get for the entire discography. I'm a little tempted to list 'em since you mentioned yr success, Clone.
|
|
|
I'm gonna get going on this too
|
|
|
I wish I had Cows records to sell.
|
|
|
I spent all night doing this, and I'm only halfway through B. This is gonna take for fucking ever.
|
|
|
Weeee I just sold a record that I bought for $15 to a dude in NY for $40.
|
|
|
oh man i'm gonna try to sell my lifter puller and christie front drive cds.
FINALLY
|
|
|
bicorn where yr sales are at?
hey, I have a very special number of records available now.
|
|
|
I haven't marked anything for sale yet, still on the data entry tip... been doing the whole collection, so it's taking a while. Finally getting to the end of "S" with the 12" records. Once I have the 7"s entered, i'll start marking things for sale. There's been a few items I was planning on keeping, but have realized they regularly go for amounts that I would be ok with... so I should have prolly 300-400 LPs up for sale in maybe a week or so. Tons of classic rock stuff, 60s/70s psych and hard rock.
|
|
|
Oh yeah, and a TON of hip hop and drum n' bass.
|
|
|
The hip hop and drum-n-bass stuff will probably go fast.
Since discogs started to serve the DJ/dance crowd, I find that those things still sell really quickly compared to other forms of music. Industrial stuff too.
|
|
|
Oh good! My Front 242 rercords will find a new home.
|
|
|
man, i had to pass on a pretty big collection of early 90s industrial/goth stuff at the store the other day cuz my credit card was janky. DOH.
I still got the Scorn, Christian Death, and Consolidated discs though.
|
|
|
+700 for sale! just upped a bunch of cool and collectible jazz, soul, rnb, etc.

|
|
|
for some reason all the Atmosphere stuff sells really well.
none of their stuff is out of print on wax and in fact is priced much cheaper on their own website.
so why so much?
|
|
|
I sold a Smashing Pumpkins "Pisces Iscariot" LP&7" yesterday for $125.00.
Sadly, that is actually a "good deal" for that record.
1994=the lowest year of vinyl production.
|
|
|
I would LOVE to have Pisces Iscariot on vinyl.
I just finished entering all of my vinyl into discogs... gonna start marking stuff for sale as soon as those mailers get here, which should be in a couple days.
Considering getting rid of my MN hip hop collection lots of early RSE stuff on vinyl and cassette, Kanser, UP, Oddjobs, etc. The Beyond "Comparison" 12" feat. Slug is catching some serious cash... think i might dump it.
|
|
|
FWIW, i have the CD for you, BH. Want?
|
|
|
Bicorn post your seller page when you have it all done
|
|
|
I have the Beyond Comparison CD too. Or at least I used to. I might have sold that.
You bet your sweet bippy I'll be posting the sella page here. It's been pretty amusing to see other MRMBers have a lot of records I do. sanpeeps and adamtzolkin keep reoccurring.
As far as payment goes, what are yall using? I just signed up for Paypal, cuz I figure that's what most people are going to use. I suppose I'd accept money orders and cash and maybe checks, but is there a good alternative to Paypal? Or even if there is, does Discogs support it? This whole Paypal thing is kinda new to me, as I haven't sold records online in at least six years and it was all check and money orders. Yeah, I know Paypal's been around longer than that, I just wasn't using it, and it seems much more ubiquitous now.
|
|
|
I've used PayPal for all of my Discogs transactions...
|
|
|
Paypal is the most common, but ask people to make a note with their payment saying which LP they are paying for or what their discogs handle is. It isn't like ebay, where things are automatically invoiced and linked in, and cross-referencing can be a bitch.
Makes efficient shipping much easier.
I also accept money orders, but most people seem to use paypal.
|
|
|
Fuuuuck, discogs isn't loading for me right now. Keep getting messages of "our servers are overloaded". Too many people adding international releases of Kylie Minogue 7"s.
|
|
|
Q for yas:
How does one add a new entry for a various artists title? Normally, you'd click the link for the artist, and there's a link from there to add a new entry under that artist, but not so for those crazy "Various Artists". I have some french breakbeat and DJ battle records i wanna get rid of, and they're not in the database yet... looks like some of these break records go for some decent cash. See ya, DJ Spooky.
|
|
|
Click "Help" and go to "Add new release form."
|
|
|
Thanks, Clone!
|
|
|
Moar Q4u:
Shipping to other countries... is Canada a pain in the ass? How much for for an LP or two to Canada vs. the US? And the same for Europe and Japan?
Clone, you mentioned earlier that it usually runs about $20 for a single LP to Japan... how's that compare to Europe or Australia?
I learned enough about the Philippines and Indonesia from the letters page in MMR to know enough not to send anything there.
|
|
|
i've been doing 5 domestic, 7 canada, others per order.
europe has been around 10-17 bucks, depending.
i've got one order to sri lanka (two Enslaved CDs!), curious how that will go down.
|
|
|
So, I've sold a few things on here where the person who bought it bargained for a lower price and then I just removed it on discogs instead of it being sold. I feel kinda bad about not paying the fee, but MEH. Will I get in trouble?
|
|
|
You won't get in trouble.
$14 for Europe/Asia will average out over time. It's REGISTERED mail that gets expensive if people want it.
$8.00 for one LP to Canada, $10 for two.
Also, mark the packages as "gift" and declare a low value on customs unless they buyer specifically asks you not to. They can wind up paying pretty big taxes in a lot of places otherwise.
|
|
|
still life, no, but that's why I mark my stuff as 'make an offer'.
|
|
|
man i wish i could find a flawless, shrinkwrapped copy of "the secret value of daydreaming" by julian lennon....oh well....
|
|
|
The first thing I ever sold on discogs was Beyond Comparison on vinyl.
Sales on discogs in the past two days has kept up with gemm, ebay, & cd&lp.com-->>thanks to Marcos in Sao Paulo. I love selling records from St Paul to Sao Paulo!
|
|
|
lulz, mags. BOY DO I GOTTA DEAL FOR YOU, BUB!
|
|
|
and thanks for grabbin that Sonny Clark record, mags! Appreciate it!
|
|
|
no prob, you were still cool with a straight up trade for a mint copy of Abacab right?
|
|
|
I'll have to check out the groove-wear in person first. Too many shady sellers out there.
|
|
|
is that some kinda sex thing?
|
|
|
I dunno, let's meet up and inspect your "grooves" and find out, cowboy.
|
|
|
my boner is VG++
|
|
|
VD++++++++++++D
|
|
|
still in the original shrinkwrap too
|
|
|
haha, hope it's not WARPED
|
|
|
about to sell Geogaddi NM 3X. Any last offers?
|
|
|
not warped but warp, knowmean?
|
|
|
New nice stuff added ALL THE TIME.
|
|
|
i've had like three people not follow through with their deal to buy my Boards of Canada stuff. what's up with that?
|
|
|
this is the downside of discogs
|
|
|
Yep. Cancelling is a bitch. Who ARE these people?
Just sold Geogaddi, tho.
|
|
|
Here we go, kids.
192 items added so far. Lots of hip hop (backpacker stuff, classics, gangsta shit, club bangers, lots of local stuff for local hip hop nerds...), drum n' bass (tons of jump up stuff, lots of Urban Takeover stylee), rock, soul, dancehall. Some random breakbeat, house and DJ tool records. I'd say that a large percentage of what I've posted so far is hip hop. Oh, and buy my Nine Inch Nails stuff. And a few psych pop records from the 60s.
If you wanna get a few things I'm willing to drop prices, and if you wanna pick it up in person or live near NE Mpls I could deliver it instead (fuck the mail).
Bicorn sells you things here.
PM me if you wanna be sneaky.
|
|
|
ohh the Donnas and the Hives!?!?!
|
|
|
you are not into the Donnas, howie.
|
|
|
yes i am! wait what is wrong with the donnas?
|
|
|
NO YOU ARE NOT
|
|
|
haha dude female ramones! or like nikki and the corvettes!
|
|
|
the ramones had long hair, that's as close to a female ramones that needed to happen
|
|
|
saying the donnas are the "female ramones" is like saying vixen is the "female led zeppelin"
|
|
|
guys guys guys those early records on lookout. good! where's burgerdog he'll back me up.
|
|
|
you just played the "early records on lookout" card, check and mate
|
|
|
early = 2003?
|
|
|
but the later records are like babes playing kiss songs! also check mate? whatever Bobby Fischer
|
|
|
yo if this was Digg.com i wouldn't digg you
bitch u bobby fischer
bitch i'm Big Blue
|
|
|
hahaha Mr.Noise!
|

lol j/k howie i would digg you and i would also repost you on slashdot
|

yay! i know that. i like you

|
|
Jesus, people... Heart was the Led Zepplin With Tits, not Vixen.
|
|

Hey howie, I can totally work out a deal on those Hives and Donnas... I also have a pile of free records you can dig through if you pick them up.
|
|
|
who the what now? FREE records? you TEASE.
|
|
|
In all your collective experience, are tapes worth selling on discogs? I have a a small stash of SST, T&G, SP and miscellany tapes that's I be happy to just get rid of.
|
|
|
I was wondering the same thing.
|
|
|
Yeah bicorn I'll pm you tonite!
|
|
|
Yeah, I have a big pile of records that aren't worth listing online either due to demand or condition. Most are playable, but not real pretty. A friend just dug out two copies of Sabbath's Paranoid a few days ago. I think there's one left. Take one, take five, take the whole fucking pile, just get them outta my house.
|
|
|
would it be too much trouble to throw out a few names?
|
|
|
Old industrial-type cassettes are totally worth selling, especially if that was the only way the albums were initially released. I sold a Merzbow cassette for a couple hundred bucks. My old Ramleh cassettes get good $ too.
|
|
|
I wish I still had a copy of the first Donna's cd.
|
|
|
1st Donnas CD is all over the internet for like five bucks, what's stopping you? You can prob find it at a local store for about the same price.
|
|
|
I like to make wishes. What's your fucking problem?
|
|
|
no problem, just trying to be helpful, that's all.
|
|
|
I fell down the stairs on my porch last night. If you really want to help, I could use a back rub.
|

Sorry, I save that kind of action for someone else.

Old industrial-type cassettes are totally worth selling, especially if that was the only way the albums were initially released. I sold a Merzbow cassette for a couple hundred bucks. My old Ramleh cassettes get good $ too.
The only cassette I've sold on discogs was my spare copy of Nagamatzu's Sacred Island of the Mad a few years back. Cha. Ching.
I'm guessing my remaining cassettes won't sell for that much.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I saw Pankow once in the mainroom. I think there were 17 people in attendance. They were atrocious.
|
|
|
I beliee dat.
|
|
|
Sold my first record to France. I hope he enjoys this Rancid/NOFX split more than I did.
|
|
|
why do Italian people never know what a "promo" is?
|
|
|
They probably think it's some kind of food.
"Hey, how you like-a some promo fazool?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
since i lost my job last week i'm trying to liquidate some inventory. Mostly private press modern psych shit that i bought from distributors and never listened to. Check it out-my seller name is: corystrand.
|
|
|
What's up with all these people from France? Third order in two days.
|
|
|
Uhhhhh, your conspicuous DnB collection might have a lot to do with that.
|
|
|
Its not the dnb that's selling! Its been punk rock and the Rolling Stones that are going over well. The first one only cost a little under $11 to ship. $$$$$$
|
|
|
HuH.
|
|
|
When listing CDs, do I consider the shape of the jewel case under the "sleeve condition" notes? Or just the insert and tray card?
Just wondering, cuz most jewel cases are interchangable. Obv, digipaks and such would be graded as the sleeve... what are yall doing?
|
|
|
Exactly my same intuitions.
|
|
|
I list the condition of the inside materials. Jewel cases are cheap, easy for the seller to replace, if necessary, but most people don't want them shipped anyway. Digipaks are obviously different.
|
|
|
Just signed up for this yesterday and already sold something so I am pretty stoked!
http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?seller=thdrecords
That whole thing with ebay taking a cut of shipping was the last straw. I'll probably still use them for bonzers, mad men roly polys and nudies i find at salvation army.
On a side note ETSY Vintage has been awesome for selling vintage clothes and antique type junk. I highly recommend checking it out. Also a good place to get rid of garbage records cuz crafty types make bowls, coasters and other crap out of 'em.
|
|
|
"I'll probably still use them for bonzers, mad men roly polys and nudies i find at salvation army."
can someone explain these intriguing commodities that I must have been overlooking all these years of thrift digging?
|
|
|
In anticipation of my listing of 1,000 titles (need 4 more up), I would like to offer MRMB weiners 30% any and all items in the ensuing month after that mark has been passed. I'll let you know when that happens.
I will deliver for free, too.

Sorry I'm late to the party, Howie. Those early Donnas records are fantastic, thigh I'm really a booster for the whole catalog.
|
|
|
and thank you friend. yeah entire donnas discography i can get behind. if you know what i mean
|
|

if you're saying you'd like to have sexual relations with the popular rock band The Donnas, then yes
|
|

well i'm glad somebody understood

|
|
|

i've begun slowly entering my collection into Discogs.
i have some cd's i'll eventually list for sale.
for now, i want an online database of all my stuff.
this is gonna take a while.
|
|
|
Vets, The (2) - The Vets (CD, Album)
Label: Modern Radio Record Label
Cat#:MRRL 0014
Media Condition:Poor (P)
Sleeve Condition:Poor (P)
$69.00
EYYYEESSS!!!
|
|
|
:)
|
|
|
Fuck, i hope one of the members of the band doesn't storm in with a bunch of thugs and protest that price listing!!!
|
|
|
this is taking FOREVER.
i feel like i've been adding stuff in for hours today and i've still got a long way to go. once it's all in a nice, organized, online storage space, i will feel better.
|
|
|
are you making submissions? that does take a while. I got BANNED from doing it tho, cuz my work was rubbish. Hence the big amount of actually cool titles that are absent from my listings, ho-hum.
|
|
|
huh. haven't begun adding stuff yet.
starting with stuff they already have in their database and then adding it in.
i'm gonna end up w. a decent amount of stuff i'll have to submit.
are they (discogs) super picky about the submissions or something?
|
|
|
Fairly, yes. You'll get some nerds up on yr jock quick, all with petitions signed to add the matrix codes STAT.
|
|
|
Inn all fairness, the point of a meticulus discog site is accuracy, for sure.
"MCA WAS NOT A LABEL IN 1958, FYI"
|
|
|
About once a day I get a notice for a submission they want changed. It's usually something minor, and man, do they get picky.
|
|
|
See?
|
|
|
I would really like to be able to get off the shitlist, but I guess I need a certain # of peeer approvals before that happens? And I'm lazy to fix the errors, honestly.
|
|
|
this is good stuff to know.
i'll make sure i come ARMED WITH INFO when i eventually start submitting.
|
|
|
The thing they really get anal about is the name of the label being correct. For example, BMG Direct is a separate discogs entity from BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. If you don't link to the proper label, they'll shoot you a curt message about what needs to be changed. Its a pain in the ass.
|
|
|
gahhhh.
i've ALMOST breached the 600 mark.
this is getting ridiculous.
the worst is that i have a shitload of albums that are in the database, but there are about 25 options for each one. so now i gotta collect catalogue #s on those, too. this is way tedious, but it will be nice to have all my shit listed in one place. dip.
|
|
|
Yeah, it takes a minute or two to catalog and esp. SELL list them lil jammies.
Can't wait to pillage yr audio holes.
|
|
|
i wouldn't get too excited.
i think i'm only gonna have about ten things for sale. almost all cds.
|
|
|
Whoa. Why are you cataloging stuff? Just for bookkeeping?
|
|
|
yup. i like the idea of having a 'definitive' and accurate list of all my stuff that can be held out in the cyberspace, nawmean?
|
|
|
whoa that sounds like something i would love to do. i started doing an excel spreadsheet of mine
|
|
|
Discogs is actually a great way to catalog your collection for insurance purposes.
|
|
|
Yep
|
|
|
yeah, i use it only to catalog what i got. i ain't selling my stuff to you creeps
|
|
|
hey dust-
is there a way to find out (via Discogs) the rough worth of yr collection?
i thought i had heard something like that.
|
|
|
Yup. Somebody pposted that above. Furthest icon to the right.
|
|
|
oh.
ok.
|
|
|
wait, i can't figure out what you're talking about.
HOW DO I DO THIS???
|
|
|
pitpat your collection is worth four starbursts
|
|
|
Click on the "collection" tab, then click on the "statistics" button on the top right of the field. It looks like a little bar graph.
|
|
|
pink starburst? them is the best.
|
|
|
Go to "my collection", and there should be a set of four icons on the right side of the page that allow you to choose your type of view. Its the furthest one to the right, can't remember what its called.
|
|
|
oh cool, there it is.
only thing that sucks is that a good deal of my jawns have no sales data.
still a really, really cool feature, though.
|
|
|
whoah!
my eyehategod/13 split 7" on green wax has been selling for upwards of 50 bucks.
oh dip.
|
|
|
I wish that Discogs added an item to yr collection automatically when you bought it from someone through their interface. It seems weird to me that you have to add it manually.
|
|
|
After listing the Atmosphere Sad Clown Bad Dub III cd last night, I got a message about five minutes later asking for pictures. The only other copy for sale is listed at $180, I'm lowballing at $99.
Oh, and howie, I sold that Hives record last week to a guy in Chicago. Srry.
|
|
|
ditto, rae. and also that SELLING an item doesn't automatically cross-list as 'collection'. That seems pretty intuitive to me.
|
|
|
ah that's cool Bicorn
|
|
|
some of my stuff is worth wayyyy more than i expected/initially paid.
awesome.
|
|
|
cool moneybags
|
|
|
When you're leaving feedback for the seller, after you enter the feedback, you are offered the "Add to collection" link. Tevs.
My wantlist is getting dangerous. So many things I want to bite on.
|
|
|
Ah, I never noticed that. Thanks, Bicorn!
|
|
|
a guy who bought a 7" from me a couple weeks ago is telling me it didn't arrive and that i owe him a refund. the package wasn't insured or registered-his choice. what's my liability here? i'm unemployed, so i really don't want to pay for the post office's mistake...
|
|
|
Did you at least get a receipt from the post office showing you mailed it? If you can prove you at least mailed it, it's out of your hands.
|
|
|
receipts dont have details about contents of the package tho, so that wont work.
I have thougt about this possibility, and I really dont know the ethical/diplomatic answer.
Was it over, say, 30 bucks?
|
|
|
Gloria sold already, like "SNAP!". Guess I'll only get a couple listens.
|
|
|
If you offered the option of insured shipping and the buyer deliberately chose the cheap route, I say game over, cheapskate.
I have on some occasions split a lost order with polite buyers, but I won't be accused of not sending something because the post office lost it.
I once had a negative from a guy in Chile for a "lost" package, and it turned up back at work six weeks later with "return as unclaimed" in Spanish from the Chilean postal service.
He bought it again, and paid shipping again. He was totally cool about it.
I recommend making all buyers from Italy pay the extra $11.50 for registered mail, though. Worst postal service on earth.
|
|
|
So I've heard. And I think Clone offers a pretty reasonable anecdote for solving such matters. Depends on the tone of the communication with buyer.
|
|
|
if you pay and print shipping labels from paypal (linked to USPS.com), you can add tracking for $0.19 in the US. Totally worth it.
|
|
|
I will also say that, in my experience, Italy's postal service is fukked.
|
|
|
95% of "lost" packages are sitting in that respective countries' International Postal Customs Office, and records can take up to six weeks to arrive when shipped First Class International Mail b/c of this.
I cheerfully provide the customs tag# to the buyer, and recommend they call their local Postal Customs Office themselves. 95% of the time, I never hear back from the customer after that recommendation.
Most countries are just fab. Italy, Russia, & Brazil are slow, but I actually have minimal problems with those countries either since I started using this method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that's a photo reproduction of the Richter painting.
|
|
|
O.M.G that is wild.
Was it tres, tres cher?
|
|
|
Since we're on the subject, I finally got a good deal on my favorite Aksak Maboul record via discoggs, and can't wait to get that, too!
|
|
|
Not too bad, about thirty bucks with shipping from the Russian Federation of Planets.
There's two versions of the Russian bootleg, and this is the more common one. I believe the only difference is the label on the record.
|
|
|
Super cool find!
|
|
|
Aksak is an awesome name. What is it?
|
|
|
really oddball rock-in-opposition european 1970s folk/prog/chamber project. Mark Hollander. One of a kind music. Check it out!
|
|
|
That sounds really cool, will do!
|
|
|
riyl Fred Frith i suppose.
|
|
|
Damn, this rules! Thanks, man!
|
|
|
yes, it's like its own little musical universe. marvelous.
|
|
|
anyone have any experience with a bullshit, retaliatory feedback-leaver? I'm not gonna have my ratings tarnished by some frustrated, nitwitted baby who decides to slam me BEFORE even inquiring as to the whereabouts of his record. I sent it a month ago, by the way. Jesus.
|
|
|
Specifically, how do I go about getting the neg feedback removed?
|
|
|
advice?
|
|
|
No idea, I'm new to discogs too. The site doesn't seem to have the seller amenities that ebay, gemm, or cdandlp.com do. You're off in the wilderness, so to speak.
discogs does have some drawbacks, this is a key one.
Seems like everyone has some bad feedback, even the big sellers. I'd say just keep sellin' and cross your fingers, and your percentage will go up with volume.
|
|
|
cool.
it does say in their rules that unwarranted or hasty neg feedback (in this case, dude left it before even inquiring about the whereabouts!) is forbidden and you can at least have a buyer blocked/banned. But I want that clean record!
and of course I DO hope his lp turns up in the New Zealand mail soon, of course. But I knida also want to say FUCK YOU and not even give a shit about any refund now that my ratings are tarnished. Ha.
|
|
|
I just sold Atmosphere's Sad Clown Bad Dub 3 to a dude in Australia for $100.
I win.
|
|
|
It took months of prep, on Friday I was able to get all of my listed inventory (34,500 records) up on discogs from a spreadsheet using their upload system.
I've spent the last few days reeling from increased business. Thanks to tom & omnidrew for helping to make this happen.
We're adding approx 400 new titles weekly, and I have enough unlisted inventory to continue at this rate for ten years.
dream realized!

awesome, johnny! what where you doing to hawk stuff before? yr site only?
oh, and an update on the crybaby kiwi: HE GOT THE FUCKING RECORD IN THE MAIL. Great, now can you magically go back in time and erase the negative feedback for which you're apologizing profusely?
|
|
|
You need to leave him feedback in which you use the phrase "crybaby kiwi."

|
|
It does have a nice ring, no?
problem: i already left him, and all my customers, posi feedback, you know, on good faith. Oh well. Where art thou, karma?
|
|
|
I had someone get their negative removed when their "unsent" package turned up back at my place as "unclaimed" from their post office six weeks later. It can be done.
|
|
|
REALLY?!?!? awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
|
hot damn, thank you.
|
|

meh. doesn't meet their criteria for removal, unfortch.

Shipping to Australia is a bitch... I had to raise my shipping prices for Asia/Australia. Two 12" records and a CD ran me almost 30 bucks. Youch.
And they made me put some funky tape around the seams of the box. That part was kinda cool.
|
|
|
sounds you shipped it registered
|
|
|
Yeah, it was a pretty big order, about $150 worth of stuff, so i thought it was a good idea.
|

i am trying to figure out how to price the Against Me "The Eternal Cowboy" on pink marbled vinyl.
i almost just priced it at 13, as it was unopened, but i just now opened it because i saw a couple silly auctions where a pink vinyl one sold for a bunch.
i honestly didn't even know i had this and have no recollection of buying it.
|
|
|
http://www.againstmeforum.com/t2560-selling-as-the-eternal-cowboy-on-pink-vinyl-275
i found that, but it is from 2009. does anyone still even buy against me records?
|
|
|
Totes. If you're listing on Discogs, it should tell you what it's been selling for and how recently it last sold... but my guess is that if you price it competitively it'll go quick.
|
|
|
I sold an Against All Authority record recently, if that gives you any hope.
|
|
|
ps thanks. i hope its ok that i copied and pasted together a few of your shipping things. so much easier that learning by trial and error.
|

How does one use neutral feedback?
I've had a few people flake on orders (order something, then forget to or refuse to pay for it), and I have the option of giving them feedback. I don't necessarily want to give them negative feedback, for fear of retaliation feedback that would hurt my rating.
Does neutral feedback lower one's rating, or not affect it at all?
|
|
|
Are you absolutely sworn off negative feedback? Because, I mean, that's negative behavior. If someone makes a commitment to buy from you and then reneges on that commitment, the feedback system exists to alert other sellers to that person's behavior. I can't think of too many things that a buyer could do that are more clearly negative than that (short of harassment or other extra-transactional bad actions).
To answer yr question, I believe neutral feedback is just that-- doesn't affect yr overall rating. Personally, I use neutral feedback in situations where I wasn't satisfied with the transaction but the person acted in good faith (for example, if I ordered something to find out that it wasn't actually in stock, but the seller was responsive and civil-- or similar situations).
|
|
|
I find the best use for negative feedback is when the postal service fucks up and you want to blame the seller for it.

Ahhaha I just found you on there. Nice seller name.

ha. yeah, like a stupid i didn't check fat wreck. i guess there were 275. if i had a band, i would be lucky if 275 records were even sold. but anyway i guess if it is pink vinyl it sells for a crapload. i gave it a high price but it's negotiable i suppose. i guess im really glad i unsealed it.

OH! And i am one record away from having fuckin 1,200 listings! Hot damn. I need an office or some shit.
Check my stuff if you like buying stuff. Tuuuuuuuuunz of new titles all the time, most extremely geeky, some for hipstrrz.

HAHAHA, don't you think Ch@rlie Sm1th is gonna want his record back someday?
"(PINK VINYL) this has been sitting in my records since 2003, when a drunk, crying, and vomiting houseguest forgot it at my house after a first avenue show. i came across it today and decided to sell it. when i opened up the plastic wrap it turned out to be pink marbled vinyl. the record is priced according to the hassle i had to deal with that night. well that and other sales of the pink vinyl version."

Shipping one LP to Japan or Australia can cost almost 20 dollars if you factor in the dollar for the mailer.
Registered mail costs another $11.50 on top of regular shipping costs.
wait so it's 20 bucks to send a record to australia? wow weird.
|
|
|
It's more like $16.00, but yeah. Australia is a long way off.
|
|
|
the last time i mailed something to australia it was a skinhead poetry zine and it was like 2002. and it cost like 1 dollar.
|
|
|
Skinhead poetry zines and well-packed LPs have different weights, usually. </snark>
|
|
|
i do not understand anything related to gravity.
|
|
|
My best sales on Discogs have definitely been from NSBM records.
|
|
|
I send cassettes to Australia for $2.97.
Just another reason.....
|
|
|
hahaha. i am glad i don't have to do this as a job. it would be so addictive. like gambling. but gambling at home in your underpants and always being angry about it.
|

^accurately written
|
|
|
hahaha, how did you nail it so well, zsa?!?
|
|
|
i dont get how this works. someone made an offer, i accepted. i get an email on discogs.
how do i pay discogs the dollar or whatever that i owe them?
then i just send an discogs message to the seller with the price including shipping, right?
|
|
|
sorry im sure there is a tutorial i need to read or somehting. i will go look for it :)
|
|
|
Discogs bills you at the end of the monthly cycle. You click on their billing link and it takes you to your paypal, where you pay them.
|
|
|
that makes sense. thanks.
|
|
|
and yes, the 'invoice' is just a message to them giving them a run-down on the agreed price and shipping, etc.
|
|
|
I recently sold a record to someone who (a) had registered with Discogs that same day, and (b) couldn't be bothered to put either their last name or their state in their user profile info. Not particularly surprised that they haven't responded to the invoice I sent them.
|
|
|
Roar, that seems to happen a lot. not sure if it's the format of how you register or not but for some reason a lot of people's full names and street addresses aren't on their accounts.
usually i can still find out their address through their paypal account.
|
|
|
ok! that's the first time I'd noticed it..
|
|
|
If I don't receive payment from my invoice via discogs, after a few days I'll manually send them a PayPal invoice to their email address. That usually gets 'em motivated to pay.
|
|
|
aha, that's a great idea johnny. thanks.
|
|
|
FYI, for the ebay / dicoggers...
USPS not accepting packages destined for CANADA due to labor dispute/strike. UPS is an option. USPS is only allowing Global Xpress...which is like $60 for a record
|
|
|
Wha? Shit. I have to send something to Canada soon.
|
|
|
Hmm. I sent a package to Canada last week. Hope it's relaxing comfortably somewhere while this gets sorted out.
|
|
|
Yeah, I'm glad mine isn't in transit, and I have time to figure out an alternative.
|
|
|
4 options that I can think of (for LPs not already in transit)
1) refund
2) charge $60 for shipping
3) agree with buyer to wait out labor issues and mail when done
4) use UPS
I think UPS is around $20...
|
|
|
Dropped almost all of my prices, removed lots of records I am just going to bring in to Half Price or where ever the fuck cuz they're never gonna sell, and added some new stuff.
Since we moved into a smaller place, I've had to downsize my collections, and I've excised about half of my vinyl. The stuff I think I can get a couple bucks for is on my Discogs, if you'd like to peruse.
If you really wanted those drum n bass records or 90s underground hip hop 12" singles I had for sale and were putting it off, lemme know, cuz they're getting evicted in the next couple days.
|
|

FYI, Canada Post is back up and running

someone give me like 100 dollars for a never played pink vinyl Against Me record. it's totally worth it. because it is pink.

I sent a record to Hawaii today, and was worried Media Mail would be spendier or not an option, like for international shipping. Turns out its the same price, just takes a few weeks to get there. I'm guessing if you live in HI, you expect that shit.

ain't it HA?

yay someone bought that against me record when i dropped the price. phew.

I put up an original copy of $100.00 Fine by The Litter for a friend yesterday. Zippy autograph, even. Still in shrink. We'll see how that goes.

i'll give you $2 for the mad season record
|
|

done
|
|

is that litter from your workplace stash, sc? or elsewhere?

No, this guy I know brought it in. He just doesn't have a discogs account.
He actually got it at Goodwill.

He actually got it at Goodwill.
haha jesus i hear shit like this all the time and alls i ever see at salvation armies and stuff is like beat up crap

My coworker recently found all 3 of The Litter records, or I think he got 2 of them and a friend of his took the other
|
|

that's because teddyruxpin went there before you

Did Zip autograph it on the shrink or under it somehow?

The back part of the shrink is kind of torn open.

I got an offer of $50 for Pearl Jam "Yield" on vinyl but decided that the dude was lowballing me.
|
|
|
good story!
|
|
|
Do you guys think it's safe to negotiate with someone outside of Discogs? Someone listed a holy grail record of mine, I made an offer, and he sent back a message saying that he'd accept the offer if I'd "buy direct" and avoid the Discogs interface.
|
|
|
that seems shady. did you ask why?
|
|
|
To avoid fees, presumably...
|
|
|
what are his seller ratings like?
-trux
|
|
|
I would rather pay a little extra to cover their fees than to risk a transaction outside of the "system". Think of it as insurance.
How much is the record?
|
|
|
I can't seem to get motivated to put my 35,000 listings back up for sale on discogs. After one solid month of vacation, today is the day to start up again on the GoJohnnyGo Internet Record Selling Machine.
Perhaps later today?
|
|
|
You took them off sale for a month?
|
|
|
Anyone ever shipped to Brazil before?
|
|
|
The guy's got a good seller rating. My offer is 30 bucks lower than the price he listed, so I can understand why he'd want to keep as much of his margin as he can.
|
|
|
I've done this as a seller & buyer... never a problem for me.
|
|
|
Yrs is the reassurance I need, f&f. I went through with it so fingers crossed!
It's that Life Without Buildings LP on vinyl, btw. Still one of my favorite records.
|
|
|
hey, nice! hope it's a drama-free exchange.
|
|
|
When it gets right down to it, you really have no assurance that things are gonna go well through discogs either; it's more or less the honor system, and they are explicitly hands-off in their disclaimer wrt grievances.
I suppose you could always do small claims court if it got nasty tho.
|
|
|
Just scored a vinyl copy of SY's Washing Machine on the cheap(ish).
Can't fucking wait to get it into my grubby little hands, been wanting this one for a long time, as it's been one of my holy grails.
|
|
|
Also, the wishlist function is wholly responsible for me finding a few long sought-after records for reasonable (or better) prices.
Discogs forever.
|
|
|
i got one great score thanks to that list as well. awesome.
|
|
|
anyone know how overseas insurance can work?
|
|
|
Ship via Registered First Class Mail, you won't need to insure it.
Or ship via Priority Air Mail, you will get built-in $80 worth of insurance for one LP.
|
|
|
awesome, which will be cheaper for 1 lp to germany, and also, can you add insurance to a larger value on priority?
i'd just rather have a decent quote for the guy instead of lugging stuff to the post just for calculations. thanks!
|
|
|
^^^^
teddyruxpin
|
|
|
hmm really
then say something only teddyruxpin would know
|
|
|
Registered is cheaper- about $23 for an LP. Priority is around $30.
Yes, you can add insurance to anything you like.
|
|
|
thanks, mate!
|

Hey, my record showed up today in perfect condition. It feels kind of weird having the thing that's been #1 on my wantlist for almost a decade. I won't say hollow...
|

I hear ya Rae... sometimes the hunt is more thrilling than the kill.
|

|
yay, finally grabbed my To Mega Therion lp!
|
|

Is shipping to Brazil abt the same as to Europe?
|
|
|
^ yep
|
|
|
Just had someone with a CAPS LOCK FIXATION tell me to "please ship this tomorrow because this LP is a gift and at media rate it will take a week to get here," and then proceed to tell me how to pack up an LP in exactly the way I do it every time.
Um, dear sir:
If one is in a hurry to receive one's item, they have this thing called Priority Shipping. It isn't that much more.
They even have this thing called First Class, which is barely more.
YEESH.
|
|
|
I kinda understand the instructions on how to properly ship an LP (i.e. use a mailer, take the vinyl out of the jacket, etc). I'm seen some very interesting shipping methods
|
|
|
You would think that feedbacks in the multiple hundreds would say something, though....
|
|
|
how are you supposed to ship these shits? i just threw mine in the mailer and taped it up. i should have used glue.
|
|
|
Tape is fine, just take the record out of the jacket, cuz jiggling causes seam splits.
I could teach a class on how to properly package records, but here ain't the forum.
|
|
|
i never knew about taking it out! i was jk about the glue, though :)
|
|
|
twss?
|
|
|
?, indeed
|
|
|
also, zsa, i add a little buffer of cardboard or whatever on both sides of the record.
also, anyone have feelings on mailers vs. improvised, homemade mailing packages? i vacillate between the two.
|
|
|
I've had some pretty bad mailers (ever see ones from Japan?), but as long as it's out of sleeve/wrapped in newspaper or saran wrap and between cardboard it doesn't matter to me.
Shipping sucks.
|
|
|
Shipping is what I do.
Buy some mailers from Bags Unlimited, and if you get into the game serious, get 'em from Uline.
Having good mailers is worth the money to keep a good reputation with buyers.
P.S. I use bubble wrap (vs. cardboard) as padding, it keeps the packages under 1 lb., and hence less expensive shipping rates.
|
|
|
okay, 20lb package going to UK, any advice on the cheapest way to get it there (time is not a concern)
|
|
|
^^ there is no cheap way from USA to UK.
Just sold a Longines Symphonette "Christmas at the Fireside" boxed set. On discogs of all places (known for dance music & hip-hop primarily- but that's obviously changing FAST), and during AUGUST. Wow!
|
|
|
I have sold maybe 100-200 records this year on discogs, and maybe one of them was dance or hip-hop.
|
|
|
me too
|
|
|
yeah, it's changed a lot in the past few years. I remember a time when hip-hop wasn't covered well- it was primarily trance, downtempo, house, d&b, & mainly techno. It'd be fun to do a wayback machine look @ discogs in 2009.
THANK YOU GOOGLE FOR MY NEW LIFE
|
|
|
priority mail (USPS) was indeed the cheapest (at about $80). I thought there used to be a "surface mail" option. Must have been discontinued. Anyhow, I can see why the USPS is losing money every quarter. They were roughly 1/3 the price of UPS, FedEx, or DHL
|
|
|
yes, the option to send something Surface Mail disappeared a few years ago. Pity it's not available anymore.
|
|
|
The Brits actually have a surface option to send stuff here, can't remember the name, but it is an alternative to Royal Mail.
i know this doesn't help you at all

Just reduced the price on a bunch of stuff. Free local delivery!

guys/gals:
experience shipping CDs without jewel cases? How much can one expect it to offset shipping costs?
|
|
|
Only makes a difference in overseas shipping. It takes a very heavy package for USA domestic media mail to make a significant cost increase in shipping.
|
|
|
Q is wrt the UK, so do you have an estimate on the savings for, say, one CD?
|
|
|
Miniscule. Most helpful for bulk orders.
|
|
|
It's the difference between $6 and $7.50 basically. Thing is, the jewel case is bound to crack, so they'll have to replace it anyway...
|
|
|
ooooooofta, on a related note, i just got a record COMPLETELY BROKEN IN HALF today. First time seller, bad luck. Hope i get the refund and also another decent copy, cuz I just sold my CD.
|
|
|
Check out out! They now have invoicing function with shipping cost and paypal pay linkages.
Nice.
|
|
|
I just noticed that today myself! very handy.
|
|
|
check out out!
|
|
|
on a more irksome note, anyone else notice how they recently reconfigured the title edit function so that each time it completes an action from yr 'items for sale' page, it automatically drops you in the 'manage inventory' section? SUCKS.
|
|
|
Anybody dealt with capta1nbli (names slightly altered to protect the googlable 1 = i)? Terrible communication, VERY liberal grading standards. Noticed more defects in the records and sleeves after leaving feedback, wish I could change it. GRRR. I did, however get a decent price on what I bought, present condition considered, so I'm not totally blowing my top right now. Just disappointed.
|
|
|
O man, this dude is not happy about a record I sold to him. I listed that it was a still-sealed cutout and he bought it, but apparently the cutout is too big for him. Total whiny bitch! I didn't recall him asking for pictures, but he had did once, and I apparently didn't notice it. But he still bought it without seeing pictures.
"What did you sold me? You didn't tell me that the cover had a HUGE cut-out corner?
I mean i've seen record with punch-holes, saw-marks, small clipped corners but this is UGLY!! And i paid you $65 for this BUTCHERED record?
That's very shady and unprofessional, i trusted you and you sold me a record that is missing 1/3 of the cover almost!!"
To be fair, it is a large cutout, but it's probably 3 percent of the cover, not 33.333 percent.
And when I tell him that I'll refund his money if the record is still sealed he wont reply.
|
|
|
Yikes.
|
|
|
Well he filed a claim with Paypal RIGHT AWAY. Wa wa wa baby. I'm offering a refund if I get the record back.
|
|
|
And that;s completely reasonable. People can be totally unwilling to be grownups sometimes.
|
|
|
I wish I would have seen the email about sending him pictures, but he bought the record 14 hours after he sent me that first email so it's not like it was a big decision for him.
"You don't understand, i love this record and to find it sealed for me was like a "miracle", after you didn't reply to my request of pics i trusted you and i went ahead and bought it before somebody else did, problem is, i'm a vinyl collector and the cut-corner is just plain ugly, i want to keep it because the vinyl is (hopefully) Mint but i don't think the price is fair because of the huge cut-corner.
I'm really stuck here!"
So stuck that I told him I'd give him a refund if he sent the record back.
|
|
|
Get used to it. There's lots of high-maintenance record buyers out there.
Once you get it back & refund the $$$, block him as a buyer so he can't order from you anymore, mark it up ten bucks & re-post it. Chances are you'll sell it for ten dollars more to someone who is grateful for it.
The additional ten bucks will cover the postage costs, and you'll have the smug satisfaction that you won in the long run. I've done this idozens of times.
|
|
|
I knew it. Gojohnnygo is Steve Jobs.
|
|
|
I agree with Gojohnnygo. That dude probably does the same thing to everyone to try to get a discount after the fact. Some people just aren't worth it as customers.
I have started to fire problem customers at my job. I figured out that the people who cause the most problems bring in the least amount of money. I usually just say something like "Sorry we couldn't earn your business, I have disabled your account, have a nice day". They will either get belligerent or completely apologetic.
|
|
|
firing problem customers sounds like my dream job.
|
|
|
It isn't firing them as much as telling them you aren't going to take their shit.
customer service
|
|
|
same thing, better phrasing
|
|
|
thing is, dude says he wants to keep it. In a similar situation (where it was apparently an oversight in quality on my part; who knows?), I refunded the guy half because he wanted it still, and i'd rather ax the price than have another neg feedback mark.
|
|
|
Sometimes people go for partial refunds.
I hate it when they immediately "go official" with their grievances before trying to work something out person-to-person like normal people.
|
|
|
^ and that is actually clearly forbidden on discog's rules page. Plus the occurrance of retaliatory feedback just generally depresses me on the state of human goodness and diplomacy, or the possibilty for civil discourse.
As does a message board sometimes.
|
|
|
Well:
He had lowballed me on the record and I had refused it and we ended up working something out and didn't end up going thru Discogs, so at least I wont get negative feedback. :)
|
|
|
^ also forbidden
|
|
|
Quite a few buyers use the "ask-for-a-discount-afterword" trick to get better pricing.
If I have a buyer who wants a partial refund, I use this scenario; the buyer has to name one discounted amount, and I get to agree to it or make them go for the return option. No negotiations after the one discount is named (this encourages the buyer to be reasonable and low with his discount amount request). If the buyer names a discount price too high for me, or then asks me to name the discounted price, I tell them to return it, we're though, then re-post it with the higher price once I get it back.
This puts the buyer in the position that he has to name a reasonable discount once, with no games of negotiating, otherwise he is required to send it back to me.
|
|
|
perhaps we could share our "blocked" lists with each other and keep out some of the riffraff before they waste someone else's time?
|
|
|
and, yes, if you ask for a discount once, you're automatically on my blocked list, of course....
|
|
|
I've never had anyone play the post-purchase discount game with me, but I would be happy to share my list of deadbeats with everyone.
|
|
|
There are certain customers for whom I am more than happy to give discounts on high-ticket items or free shipping for big orders. One of them has come back over 60 times. I think it was good not to block him.
|
|
|
I don't block good customers, only ones who are obviously making a mountain out of a molehill, like the guy who is complaining the cut out mark is too big, and wants half off.
Discretion is to be used, of course.
I have customers that I give free shipping every order that has three records or more, or spend $25 or more.
|
|
|
I don't have any complaints other than the guy who pre-emptively NEGGED me, only to receive the record a day later. In Australia. Thanks guy!
but he was apologetic about his belligerence, and I doubt he'll do it again. First time buyer.
Anyway, for sellers, I would not go out of my way to endorse phil@delphi@music, despite their generally good ratings, thrown off by copious sales figures. Shit was way liberally graded, and no response whatsoever when I asked about it. Numerous other complaints about lack of communication.
|

On an unrelated note, earlier today I made a bank deposit for the futon store that included a check from a man with the last name of "Titsworth." He lived on "Beaver Circle."
I am not making this up.

What are prices like for shipping (1 LP) to Canada?
Do they change with distance like in the U.S.?
|
|
|
first class international -- the cheapest -- should run you about $5-6.
|
|
|
doin_thangs sold me a really cheap rec recently.
*unashamed*
|
|
|
If yr interested in 20th C classical music, I have recently put up a whole bunch of stuff for sale (Partch, Cage, Harrison, Cowell, Babbitt, Ives, etc.....)
As always, 30% discount for anyone of you creeps.
Some of it ain't on discoggs, so inquire if interested in further titleage.

'adamtzolkin'
|
|
|
wow, i like that stuff. will have to real and deal but may have a wantlist for you.
|
|
|
cool. lemme know girlfriend.
|
|
|
think i need that Cat People soundtrack for sure.
|
|

I just made a deal to trade 3 LPs I bought for $1 each for a $31 LP. Thanks, discogs!
|
|
|
Why did they take away 'price range' as a search qualifier for sorting yr stuff? I used that all the time to sift through and re-price things. Harumph.
|
|
|
hmm, i never used that but that's kind of annoying. i also hate how when you want to edit something you have scroll all the way down in yr inventory list, etc.
bad layout!
hey, if you still have that Cat People let's make a trade or something..
here's my stuff.
|
|
|
I used to use that all the time. They got rid of it about two weeks ago. I would usually sift through the sellers cheapie records before placing an order, just in case there was a good deal on something for a couple bucks.
|
|
|
I know right?
|
|
|
That's weird. When I click on sanpeeps' listings, the sort-by-price option is still there for me.
|
|
|
but is it the long, scrolling form of the whole shebang?
used to be broken down by ranges (0-$5, $5-$15, etc.)
|
|
|
Oh, OK, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's gone.
|
|
|
made my life more good.

How do sellers list stuff that's not linked to the database?
Like here - gojohnnygo's selling one of my releases, but it's not linked to the entry for the album here. Does this have something to do with the bulk-spreadsheet uploading process?
|
|
|
I've noticed that a lot - seems bad for the seller, if anything
|
|
|

Yes.
I've noticed that a lot - seems bad for the seller, if anything.
I'm glad others are noticing it- it's where 99% of my listings are. Not bad for the seller when you can get 37,000 items up on discogs in about five minutes.
|
|
|
but... that listing only comes up if someone's searching by the label, right?
When I type in "Jeff Fuccillo" and click on the sales link, it doesn't show your listing.
I understand what a time saver it is, but doesn't that decrease your catalog's visibility?
|
|
|
I guess it comes up when someone's specifically searching your catalog too, obviously.
|
|
|
it shows up under "possible matches" tab.
|
|
|
where's that?
|
|
|
More and more buyers are finding the "other" tab every day.
|
|
|
I want to know where it is! I feel like I'm probably missing out on the full range of available copies when I'm searching for a particular record that I want to buy.
|
|
|
Roar,
when you are looking at the available copies of a particular pressing, there is a "tab" (at the top of the list) that allows you to see "X Possible Matches From These Sellers"
|
|
|
Aha! Thanks.
|
|
|
Do these types of listings also show up in the wantlist email notifications?
|
|
|
I don't think so, because I believe the wantlist is tied to the specific release/pressing
|
|
|
some dude in China bought an assload of my CD's.
good to know they can get their discog on over there.
|
|
|
glissoli or something?!?!?! me too!
|
|
|
yeah! that's the guy. wow, that's funny. he's out of control.
|
|
|
hey ruxpin, did you pick up that Astrud Gilberto record you have listed at Roadrunner for 2 bucks? I saw it there but didn't get it because I had no cash
|
|
|
btw, i found a copy of "Cat People" so you can let that one go if need be.
|
|
|
no i did not, behm. that record is great tho!
and peeps, WOW, yeah he bought like 20 cds or something, it was crazy. Its interesting, I guessed that he was probably starting a rec store; times are a-changin.
|
|
|
hey bought about 60 CD's from. mostly all my Dirty Three, Yo La and Sun Ra discs.
|
|
|
started cataloging everything; 230 lps in and i'm not even through the Bs. jesus...
|
|
|
whoa. that's a nice collection.
SAY, i just did a search of my own stuff by YEAR, and foud out that most of my stuff is from 1973-1975. When did most of yours'es records get born?
|
|
|
still plugging away at this - current number is 1589
|
|
|
I bought a couple records this weekend and was excited to get home tonight to remove them from my discogs wishlist.
|
|
|
so i have a bunch of noise/experimental/whatever cassettes, lp's, and cds that i want to get rid of.
is discogs the best way to do this or ?
i've usually sold them on ebay in the past and got some decent coin for certain items but it's a hassle taking a pic etc.
|
|
|
totally. discogs is slick, mate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
what do you want for it?
|
|
|
no idea,
a surly nice rack rear in silver?
http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/RA308A00-Surly+Nice+Rack+Cromoly.aspx
|
|
|
oh wow, i forgot how great these albums are. my cats HATE IT.
|
|
|
yeah, cool, bring over the rack + the record and drop them in the yard. Deal done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, might sit on there for a while tho. Price to move!
|
|
|
good point!!!

I sold that colleen stuff way too early it seems

I'm working on adding photos to some of my Discogs Marketplace listings, not sure if this can be done.
I've got 37,976 titles up for sale, and I'm looking to add photos to about 1000 of them; the high-end stuff.
|
|
|
spent yesterday afternoon going thru some 7"s & posted about 100. might take a good, hard look at these overstuffed lp shelves today.
my stuff is here.
all proceeds go towards releasing more records that probably aren't of interest.
|
|
|
OOOF. I am selling now 1,801 items.
HAI
|
|
|
I was selling a record every five minutes on Monday, no joke. Busiest day I've ever had at GJG.
|
|
|
GJG, I may have to talk to you about helping me sell some recs on yr site. I don't want to deal with setting up my own but I need to thin out a pretty good chunk of records especially 7"s.
|
|
|
been having trouble seeing my stuff come up.
when i "manage my inventory" internally all my shits there but then i look at my profile and stock and there's only like 20 pieces in there.
|
|
|
I wish that the site had a feature that would allow you to browse people's stocks by geographical location. I would love to be able to see who is selling what locally and buy without the shipping costs.
Also, does anyone know if any local record stores have their stock on discogs? I have seen many other stores across the country that do
|
|
|
Eclipse651
|
|
|
also shugarecords
|
|
|
bis auf's messer is on there
not local.
|
|
|
couldn't figure out what the deal was but remedied things through various means.
back in bidness.
|
|
|
jon, i like your location idea.
i don't of any stores that are on discogs.
i think Let It Be which is long gone is on there.
i miss the real life Let It Be though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's cool - I was thinking more of some kind of sortable feature in discogs that would allow you to only show local sellers and cross-reference by items in wantlist.
Maybe this would take out some of the "thrill of the hunt." It still sounds mighty convenient to me though
|
|
|
i don't know what was going on.
but since i relisted everything by expiring then un-expiring all my stock the shit has been out of control today.
like selling snowballs to the eskimos.
|
|
|
Speaking of, I fell behind on my payment to the 'Scogs and had my account suspended. Well, I paid it like 2 days ago, yet only 1/20th of my listed items have re-appeared on my sales list. WTF dudes. Is there a gnome really fucked on H inside their harddrive, manually re-listing each one of my shits?!?!?! SRSLY.
|
|
|
anything is possible in obama's america
|
|
|
teddy, that is similar to what happened to me.
what i did to remedy it was "expired" my inventory.
which is something you can do in case you go out of town or you want to take every thing down temporarily.
i waited until i got an email saying everything has been successfully expired.
then i just un-expired it and relisted it all.
that seemed to work.
|
|
|
you mean...... each item?!?!?!?!?!
|
|
|
you can do it with the click of a single button at the bottom of your 'manage inventory' page.
|

hey is there a way to search for something through your "My Archives"?
i think i must've listed something twice and already sold it because i can find it to save my life.
|
|
|
nevermind i found the record.
doesn't look like you can search your own archives, only scroll through them.
lame.
|
|
|
Yeah, but you can filter stuff alphabetically, which helps.
|
|
|
use cntrl + F or a similar function next time!
|
|
|
man this is hard.
|
|
|
digging the new listing format.
def saves time waiting for page turns and whatnot. good stuff.
|

Does $10.50 shipping from Toronto to here sound realistic? Not sure if I want to follow through buying this $5 LP if shipping is more than twice as much as the item.
|
|
|
Hey Yith-that is a realistic shipping cost. LP's are heavy when packaged, and it's crossing international lines.
|
|
|
Well it only costs us $7 or $8 to ship to them. Bollocks.
|
|
|
Seems a bit high to me, but yeah, the other direction might alter things? I do $6 for an lp to Kanada.
|
|
|
With the amount of international orders I do, I've yet to send something to Canada. Oh, wait, I have. It was a 30 Seconds to Mars promo CD I got for free and sold for $20 or so. I think I charged $5 for shipping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its more expensive to recieve a package from Canada than it is to send it there...
|
|
|
I just sold 63 Ray Conniff LPs to Richard in Toronto (via ebay, natch). USPS cost to ship: $120. UPS cost to ship $50.
|
|
|
That's good to hear. I need to ship 100 LPs to Argentina via a trackable method; haven't ever used UPS for overseas shipments before & I didn't have much idea of what it might cost compared to the USPS.
|
|
|
how much does 63 Ray Conniff records garner if you don't mind me asking?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow. You are a man who loves his work, johnny.
|
|
|
so the guy spent $90 on Ray Conniff records. are there none in Canada?
|
|
|
He's decorating his basement bar with them.
|
|
|
I think the guy spent $40 and gjg lost $10? At least if the "free shipping" offered in the listing is to be believed.
|
|
|
Free shipping only applies in the USA.
|
|
|
Ah, I see. The idea of you actually paying out of yr own pocket to get 63 Ray Conniff LPs into the hands of someone who truly wanted them was kind of warming my heart.
|
|
|
the market value for 63 ray coniff lps is somewhere near -$10 so GJG did well
|
|
|
They just went multi-lingual! I think this could mean good things for folks who sell stuff on here.

Zion's Gate was my best customer when I was Rooty.

He's also Kreation, right?

If he is, I was unaware. I guess that makes me one of HIS good customers.

Anybody here buy from AtlantisAudioArchive? I placed an order a couple weeks back, only to find out he's local, and lives in N Mpls. Friendly guy, good prices, no shipping charge!
One of my most recent pieces of feedback (neutral) to a seller:
LP in perfect condition, Slow shipping, only takes Google Checkout. ಠ_ಠ
|
|
|
Fuck Google checkout. If I hadn't used it that one time to buy some o.o.p. dvd, the kid who cracked my Gmail account wouldn't have had my credit card info at his disposal.
|
|
|
aside from that bad incident, are there other drawbacks to g checkout? i was considering it.
|
|
|
I don't think it really opens up your stock to people who just won't use PayPal, but the only reason I was upset about it was that I was going to use my PayPal funds to pay for the record, and didn't even look to see what kind of payments the guy took before I clicked the purchase button. I had to use my check card, which was not what I wanted at all. The transaction was fine otherwise.
|
|
|
Sooo..... it was essentially your fault for not noticing?
|
|
|
He was too busy looking for drummers.
|
|
|
I'm not looking for a drummer. That's they other guy.
|
|
|
I know. A ribbing. Sorey.
|
|
|
Butt I am always looking for a good time. For years now.
:)
|
|
|
Oh, and my comment to the discogger was mostly because he had a good price, and the record was nice, but it took two weeks to get to me, and he only took a somewhat esoteric (for the community into which he was selling) form of payment.
|
|
|
If I'm late-ish on a shipment (which is regretably kinda often :/), I just send a polite note apologizing, and all's gone well with my customer feedback.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' Did Lazarus Dig on vinyl so I don't have to resort to spending megabucks on one from overseas?
|
|
|
How much is too much? I see a bunch of copies around $35, shipped at various websites.
|
|
|
They're completely gone from local stores?
I swear I saw one semi-recently, but it was probably something else with a bright sign on the cover.
|
|
|
cheapo is probably sitting on several copies, I'd guess
|
|
|
I haven't seen any from local stores - please let me know if you do see any around though.
YITH, which sites are these? I would spring for a $35 copy

That's a good one - kind of wish I had grabbed a copy when they were available around here.

I was considering getting a copy from Germany which was all I could find on discogs - would have been 40+ total USD. Glad I came here first. I gotta learn to use the internet better

If you ever feel like letting that one go please come find me

I used to have a sticker of that album cover on the seat of the bike I was riding at the time it was released. Nick looked ready to be in that position.
I think the only wax I have from that album is a picture disc 7inch for one of the singles.

Yeah, but when it comes to 4 nice Tom Waits plus some Coltrane and Beatles for $$ and in the pile you get a bunch of Carly Simon, Hall & Oates, etc. What do you do with the Carly Simon?

I like that they added in where you can look at your collection with the average sale values listed in so I can figure if there's anything valuable enough in my collection I wouldn't mind parting with.
^^^where do you see this?? i can't find it

Go to your Collection, and change the View style on the upper right corner to Statistics.

that function is rad.
couldn't believe the worth of some records that i thought were worth relatively little.

Hey, when you use the built-in Discogs thing to enter a shipping cost and send the buyer the total amount, if you have a European buyer, does it convert to Euros? I have my first order overseas and the guy asked me for a total price in Euros.
|
|
|
It doesn't automatically convert, but if they're paying via PayPal, it shouldn't matter. I've never had an overseas buyer ask to be invoiced in any currency other than US$.
If he insists, though, you can use this to come up with a figure in Euros.

To enable the hiring of additional staff and improve our level of service to you, we're going to be increasing Marketplace selling fees effective May 1st, 2012.
Items sold on or after that date will have the following fees:
8% for Standard Listings
10% for Product Search Listings
(a $0.10 minimum fee will remain in place)
Invoices sent on or after May 1st, 2012 will now be due 10 days after the invoice date.
Increasing fees is something we try to do as infrequently and with as much notice as possible. Our last fee increase was almost 3 years ago in July 2009. As a result we've made a number of significant improvements to Discogs:
* grew our team from 4 people to 9 people
* delivered over 1,300 features and bug fixes
* increased conversion rate in the Marketplace by more than 84%
* more than doubled the number of servers, making the site faster and more reliable
This fee increase will allow us to:
* bring on additional software developers, so that we can add additional features
* hire a customer support rep based in Europe, so that we can respond to requests in a more timely manner, and in multiple languages
* improve our marketing efforts, to increase site awareness and expand our user base
* continue investing in new hardware to keep Discogs fast and stable
We sincerely thank you for choosing to sell on Discogs and we look forward to your continued success.
Kevin

yeah, the fee increase is a drag but inevitable i suppose. what does 10% for Product Search Listings
mean?

hey YITH -- I have a bunch of bubble mailers right now
-IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
|
|
|
"bubblers"
|
|
|
Cool. pm sent.
|
|
|
You guys ever send something out the same day as the purchase? Feels BALLER.
|
|
|
Anyone print shipping labels from home? With ebay it's pretty straightforward and media mail and first class international are a snap. With Discogs, I go through Paypal to print a shipping label and I can do Media Mail in the US, but for international there is no First Class option. I know that stamps.com allows you to print postage, but they charge a monthly fee ($16). There basic/free service doesn enable first class international.
Anyone have an idea on how to print postage for first class international orders that are recieved through Discogs.
I hate standing in line at the post office
|
|
|
I never figured out a way around that. Annoying.
Apparently Pitney Bowes offers some kind of shipping service that allows you to print out international shipping labels AND customs info. I don't do enough to avail myself, but for high-volume shippers it seems like a good option.
|
|
|
endicia.com offers enough discounts to more than cover their $16.95 monthly fee, and you can run First Class International all the live long day. Delivery Confirmation in the USA is super cheap too, free for Priority in the USA.
Playaz still have to wait in line for Priority International & Registered International.
|
|
|
I bought a Brother label printer from Goodwill a while ago. Very cheap and very helpful. I still type out my own labels, though.
|
|
|
I actually like going to the post office
|
|
|
sick bastard.
|
|
|
I prefer the designation "twisted individual"
|
|
|
I meant to type bastid. I didn't mean to call you an actual bastard. sorry.
carry on gentlemen.
|
|
|
eBay lets me print first class international at no cost. when I get an order from Discogs, I'm wondering if I could sneak into a previous closed eBay auction and print a new label with the address from the Discogs transaction.
I know....seems like more work than just standing in line at the post office
|
|
|
teddy, baller status co-signed. it's really the nice thing to do. in turn, i always appreciate when a seller sends expediently as well.
|
|
|
site is chuggin' slow today, I guess it is a sign of success
|
|
|

wake me when you get to 2112
|
|
|
$2.99 for that brothers johnson lp? hmm...
|
|
|
Dude, yr not gonna like what you see when you wake up: Socialist theocrats have taken over and MUSIC IS ILLEGAL. Then you accidentally fuck a robot to death and go to prison where you just play imaginary guitar solos all day.
Wait.
|
|
|
^^^ classic Rush humor. well played.
|
|
|
Rush and then some, yeah?
|
|
|
but, back to the brothers johnson...
|
|
|
ddeI'll TOTALLY give you a killer deal on that one. Cuz I know you are FUNKY.
|
|
|
TR, check yr pms.
|
|
|
hahaha! you've listened to it then, i take it. if you sell it, you are sure to make the profit margin, and then some.
|
|
|
It's yours for 3 packs of smokes.
iggy, on my way!
|
|
|
it's yours, for free! p.s. yours= your shameful burden.
|
|
|
ha. have not checked it out yet actually.
|
|
|
if you're looking for an antidote for being in a pleasant state of being, then by all means play that record. also, if you are looking to question how some records got the funding to be made, this will only add to your confusion. but, that is only my opinion.
p.s. it's really not a very good record.
|
|
|
you had me at "wet sounding" when you described it before.
|
|
|
did i mention, "funky?"
|
|
|
is it lame to reneg on a sale because you decided the record was so cool ah fuck it i already have it i want to keep it afterall?
i do it about once a week. sometimes i will throw in some weird excuse to just see their reaction.
only one guy has ever gotten pissed at me for reneging on an awesome record.
|
|
|
Because I have been careless about keeping track of which titles I've sold through channels other than 'scogs, I have to give people "the bad news" pretty often. I feel like a twat, but if I just do it courteously, and sometimes offer a discount for their inconvenience, they usually are pretty forgiving.
Just do the 'item unavailable' thing and explain some bullshit.
also, THIS is the reason I price things higher than is normal sometimes, to make it worth my while and loss if it's an item I like.
|
|
|
yeah, did one today and it was actually a local guy so now i'm scarred he might come over with a crowbar for the Art Blakey mono press i just decided to keep.

i can attest to teddy's price gouging in the name of nostalgic reluctance. i've even been able to utilize it to capitalize on some record sales. very tony robbins of you, teddy!

WHY SO MUCH?! has anybody made a Daffer graphic for their Discogs page yet?
|
|
|
i will preface this post by admitting that i have no ability in stylizing/pasting links into my posts. i am like a clueless old lady with a dvd remote control, fearful of the new way of doing things. but, for the sake of "trying new things", i will go ahead and attempt to past this in, for at least the sake of showing how baller this guy is in his pricing, and rating of said item:
magnum
did i fail?
|
|
|
oh shit, it worked!
|
|
|
Oh please let me find a copy of that at a thrift store some day.
|
|
|
yes, please let you! but please also let you charge more, for more degraded quality. i bet it would really drive this guy bonkers!

Discogs is discontinuing the Product Search function on July 1st. I will no longer be able to upload my database from a spreadsheet.
Ima B a Discogs small fry compared to a lot of y'all on July 1st. Back to ebay it is, I guess (that hurts a lot).
|
|
|
You could pay someone a small wage to enter things into Discogs for ya. Just throwin' that out there...
|
|
|
I already have a data entry employee (who I might add is the best in town), and we will be putting most of our 'new arrivals' into the discogs system directly from here on out. We generate about 250 'new arrivals' weekly, and most of them will be on discogs as soon as they are listed. But this game is built on momentum- the residual effect- from data work already done, and that is now lost on discogs for at least a year or two. To make up the immediate 20% drop in sales, I will have to quickly load 2000 or so titles onto ebay, which I can do with a touch of a button. The problem with that is I now have to deal with the neanderthals at ebay and their not-as-vinyl-savvy customer base.
My plan has always been to wean gojohnnygo's livelihood from ebay over time. This decision by discogs will temporarily put us back in bed with the devil, but in the long run we will be more tied to discogs by having our 'new arrivals' all listed in their database. And that is a good thing, cuz discogs is definitely the future of this game.

|

Is there a way to set filters for price, currency etc on yr wish list? Like, I want Le Jardin de Heavenly but I don't want it for £40 plus shipping from the UK. I get excited when I get alerts but some of them are way out of my range.
|
|
|
I actually have the same problem and no, I have not been able to figure out a way to do so
|
|
|
dont think so. yeah, my list is hard to wade through, too.
|
|
|
i was wondering something about this site. currently, i owe $6 and some odd cents for sales "commission" to discogs. it states on the site that the fees are to be paid on the 1st of each month. up to this point, i haven't heard anything about not paying on time, but i haven't paid them their fees for a while now. anyone know if they block you as a seller, or even make an attempt to collect these fees? late charges, perhaps? tell me your experience. surely, i can't be the only one delinquent on my discogs dues.
|
|
|
They give you a couple notices and then suspend your seller account. They should have already sent you an email about it. Check yr spam folder, and pays yr fees, brahhhhh!
|
|
|
i ate my spam folder. :(
thanks YITH, i will pay them promptly.
|
|
|
Oh, and thanks to you, I have a copy of Hot Buttered Soul!
|
|
|
Not a discogs issue but I recently bought an LP via a third party seller on Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon) and it said it shipped almost right away. I just looked back at the shipping confirmation email though and it says estimated delivery: July 5th. WTF? Are they shipping the fucker on foot? My best guess is that it has to be coming on a ship from overseas or something? Makes the 5-6 bucks I saved kind of moot.
|
|
|
yeah, i never understood that. same on ebay.
|
|
|
Shipping my first package to Turkey today! Wish me luck.
|
|
|
Good luck, buddy!
|
|
|
oh man I'm so nervous for you, YITH!
|
|
|
just sold a record to TOWA TEI
|
|
|
sweet, which record did he buy?
|
|
|
|
|
|
i wonder what an average day is like for Towa Tei. he doesn't really do much anymore does he?
|
|
|
he doesn't really do much anymore does he?
He's busy buying records from GoJohnnyGo!
Looks like he has lots of 'upcoming soon!' things on his website.
|
|
|
you should ask him if he ever boned Lady Miss Kier.
what's that Bertoia record sound like?
|
|
|

|
|

fuuuuuuuck guys, this last week has been a miasma of lost items, dissatisfied customers, non-paying buyers etc.....
Hold me.
|
|
|
it gets better
|
|
|
haha. it'll grow back.
|
|
|
oh hey, what's the general protocol for an item lost domestically? I have absolutely no explanation as to why it never showeed up, there was no insurance, etc. I offered a 50% refund.
|
|
|
if you sent it media mail, it could be lost amongst a great heap of stuff, or could still be on the lowest truck imaginable...
I usual go for a full refund if anything is wrong in any way.
|
|
|
yeah my friend, full refund is the only logical solution.
|
|
|
it always seems whenever i have a problem with a package or record a whole bunch happen around the same time. there's some sort of discog rift in the universe.
|
|
|
i blame it on the elusive higgs boson particle!
|
|
|
so true, sanpeeps. rains = pours
i have learned one thing: Delivery Confirmation.
|
|
|
the lost records were beautiful, too. two absolutely MINT Moroder records from the 70s. :(
|
|
|
t.rux, it might be time for you to upgrade to postage via endicia.com
FREE delivery confirmation for Priority USA packages, 15 cents for Media Mail, and general postal discounts on ALL shipments. You might be able to cover all of the $15.95 per month from the savings- I do. AND- you won't have to fill out those green customs tags for yr First Class International Mail shipments. It's worth it for that alone.
On top of that, you can deal with all of your postage at home, and then schedule a pickup to have your shipments picked up -no more waiting in line at the post office.
If you're shipping at least 15 packages a week, you should look into it.
|
|
|
cool, thanks for the tip! might be the right time to do it.

got my entire vinyl collection cataloged here. Maybe I'll sell some stuff someday. Dunno.
|
|
|
^^^ nice, stallion!
|
|
|
I'll probably be doing the same Stallion. I'm planning to sell a shit ton of really rare metal records on Discogs in the next few weeks to keep a safety net going from unemployment. Have a job lined up in July but they're kinda hinting it might not be there.
So if you want a Morbid 7" picture disk that was limited to 300 and tons of other stuff, let me know!!
|
|
|
My dog has been diagnosed with glaucoma, so I'm selling some records to pay for meds. Will probably add more vinyl, CDs, and cassettes in the coming weeks. Nothing too earth-shattering. Just divesting a little.
<a href="http://www.discogs.com/seller/amh>Come buy?</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
oh man, sorry to hear about yr pup, a.
|
|
|
Thanks, a. I appreciate that.
|
|
|
Just got an order from the famous gl0s0li. China, here my CDs come! If only I had listed the other 300 that I have sitting in boxes...
|
|
|
order a bunch?
|
|
|
15 discs. I've been lazy getting the rest of the old collection up there.
|
|
|
So, I just inherited a 150 or so 78s, 45s, and 33 1/3s from my maternal granny. (She's not dead, but she has moved into a nursing home due to dementia. Not cool.) They are of varying quality both condition- and music-wise. I'm gonna cherry-pick a few that I like (some cool jazz and big band shit), but will probably sell the rest.
What's a good way to price these? Do I just have to go one-by-one and google them? Or is Discoggin' the way to go? Halp, bored. I've never sold albums before other than, "Yeah, buddy, I'll give you that Skynyrd album for two of your Summits".
|
|
|
Discogs is an amazing resource for pricing records. Selling on there can be a waiting game, especially with things that are widely avaiable or not desired by more than a few. I'd say if you end up with a lot of things worth only a few dollars that fit into the categories I described above, garage sale 'em or trade them for beer. Or sell them as a lot on eBay, maybe.
|
|
|
Selling them in a lot is kind of what I'm thinking about doing. I just want to make sure I don't sell some expensive rarity along with 75 polka albums in a milk crate.
|
|
|
Discogs and popsike are your fwends.
|
|
|
Cool. Thanks, YITH.
|
|
|
SELL THEM TO ME I WILL SUCK YOUR COCK LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
|
|
|
Lies! It will be exactly like before.

|
|
|
|
hahaha, OK.

|
|
|
So I've issued a refund through PayPal to a seller for hefty amount. Is there a way to note the refund in Discogs so I won't be charged a seller's fee? I have zero to little patience to look through the endless forum threads.
|
|
|
You just need to contact customer service & let them know.
I went from 43,000 titles up for sale on discogs yesterday to 1600 today. The Product Search function has been officially suspended. Sigh.
|
|
|
Got a copy of Master of Reality from someone on Discogs that was supposedly VG... Um, not quite. The hissing and popping throughout Sweet Leaf are louder than the music, but it gets better after that song. The hesher that owned it back when it came out must've really liked the wacky tobaccy and playing S.L. over and over. Overall, the whole album is super-quiet. Grooves sound like they're almost non-existent. :(
Guess my quest for good-sounding copies of all the Ozzy-era Sabbath records just took a step backwards.
|
|
|
been looking for a decent copy of Born Again lately.
|
|
|
I ordered another one last night that is supposed to be VG+ with a crappy cover, but I'm only paying $10 inc. shipping.... we'll see, I guess.
Also threw caution to the wind and ordered a G+ Sabotage for $7.00 (also inc. shipping). As long as it's in better shape than that M.O.R. I'll be happy.
|
|
|
What is UP with preemptive neg ratings?!?!?!?!?! Do people really not like getting refunds for stuff, or even asking about it first?
Got my first legitimate (but preemptive) neg feedback, 1/197. But damn, I would have been happy to level witchoo, man.
|
|
|
@sanpeeps, Half Price Books in Crystal had a copy for around $8 yesterday.
|
|
|
To chillabrate my 200th positive feedback, I'm having a sale for today only: 50% off 3 items under $10, or free shipping on whatever else.
|
|
|
when are you gonna get something i want?
|
|
|
Jesus, hopefully never, for my sake.
|
|
|
I thought you were PUNK, man.
|
|
|
Dude I was never punk
|
|
|
Also just for that I'm gonna go home and pee on a Zappa record
|
|
|
I'll prob still buy it from you anyway.
|
|
|
cool. $60. RARE OOP
|
|
|
more crass bootlegs brah
|
|
|
RARE (P)OOP is waaaayyy more valuable I've learned.
|
|
|
I could work on that for you
|
|
|
So, is there a rule of thumb for condition of the record and its effect on price? I still have no idea what granny's albums are worth--except there is an unopened, factory sealed copy of Brenda Lee's first album (Decca DL 4039) in there. People are selling VG+ and M copies from $30-$70 on various sites. Is factory sealed worth more? Should I just go Shuga records on this bitch and put it out there for $150, or will everybody think I'm an asshole?
I really am clueless here. I'd give one of you experts an evening's worth of beer to go through this shit and see if any of it is worth anything.
Are 78s worth anything? Granny had some weeeird stuff. Old German classical music and local polka groups from 1930s New Ulm.
|
|
|
My rule is "sell it for what someone will pay SOON. Undercut all other prices for records of similar condition. Get that money.
Goldmine's rules say "a VG+ record is typically worth about half of a NM record."
|
|
|
Cool. Is factory sealed and unopened considered Mint? Or better?
|
|
|
The YITH's C.R.E.A.M. rule of record selling. Get that paper son
|
|
|
Protect ya god damn neck! That ain't Trading Places, son!
You need to diversify your Rare Psych ni99a.
|
|
|
I don't ever grade anything mint. I always grade NM for sealed records. Definitely grade the cover visually, mention any blemish you see.
|
|
|
re: sealed records, they generally go for more than a "mint" lp. I wouldn't grade anything mint either. NM is top.
If someone pays you $150 for a Brenda Lee record, you win
|
|
|
|
|
|
M = sealed and new, perfect. Why hesitate to do that if it fits the bill?
I of course understand grading conservatively with anything that has seen the light of day, but there's a purpose to the M grading, right?
I am a bit diff from yith, as I'm not necessarily in the sales game to make quick ching. If it's something I like, then there's a price to pay for my losses, if not, then I'm still not usually in a hurry to move it. What's the rush?
Depends on how much you want the stuff taking up space I guess. "Priced to move" to me means "I really dont see any intrinsic value in this record."
|
|
|
cutouts, creases, etc
|
|
|
Oh yeah, of course! Obvious flaws make it not M.
|
|
|
also, you have no idea is the vinyl has a blemish or warp or whatever. I just feel that SEALED is more accurate than MINT. It's nit picky
|
|
|
I feel ya.
|
|
|
"Should I just go Shuga records on this bitch and put it out there for $150, or will everybody think I'm an asshole?"
Oh also, this ^. Who gives a shit what people think about yr pricing! I've BEEN THERE. It's your thing, sell it for what you WANT for it, not what someone else wants to PAY.
|
|
|
I was looking for the sales history link for a certain release. I couldn't find it.
Does that mean that I'm dumb and don't know where to look (I've definitely searched sales history before) or is it possible that the item has never been sold on Discogs so no history shows up?
|
|
|
possible. did you narrow down to specific issue?
|
|
|
whoa. looks like Discogs had a face lift.
looks a little more user friendly actually!
|
|
|
ooh, very nice indeed! i give it a NM.
|
|
|
man, i wish there was some way to post some sort of internal note to self on orders and such. Sometimes people ask for different mailing addresses, and I've nearly forgotten several times.
Ideas?
|
|
|
|
|
|

DERP. 20th Century tech is already so far behind me. Yikes.

lol, i think I need a thread about discogs weirdos:
I just received the third message in a month from an apparently amnesiac Deftones fan requesting CD matrix numbers and other minutiae. And I already responded once saying "you already contacted me, bro".

AROUND THE FUR HOT STAMPER INCOMING I REPEAT AROUND THE FUR HOT STAMPER INCOMING

|
what's the best pressing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Man the phrase "hot stamper" bugs me... it just means "good pressing", right?
|
|
|
i dont think so.
|
|
|
Googling "hot stamper" led me to this website. Hardcore audiophiles are great at making record listening seem like one huge expensive chore.
ACTUAL QUOTE: "If you can't hear the difference on at least some of your records, it has to be one or both of the following. Either your system is not good enough to resolve these differences, which is sometimes the case, or, much more likely, you simply haven't trained your ears to listen for them. Not listening for pleasure. Listening like it's a job."
Gee, that sounds great. If I just listen for fun, I'll never care about a lot of this stuff, but if I put in a bunch of work, I'll start wanting to buy "super hot stampers" at $250 apiece. Where do I sign up?
|
|
|
audiophile = assholes
|
|
|
Ironically, I was the buyer for the largest dealer of audiophile vinyl in the world for 18 months.
I still enjoy cassettes and AM radio.
|
|
|
Man, how could you play that sweet hot stamp copy of The Royal Scam on your Japanese portable turntable?! You're dead to me!
|
|
|
I've never met a serious audiophile with cool recs
|
|
|
So many of my all-time fave LPs are considered improperly recorded or mixed, so how come they're my favorites?
Radio Birdman 'Radios Appear'
Heartbreakers 'L.A.M.F.'
Velvet Underground 'White Light/White Heat'
Saints '(I'm) Stranded'
Iggy & The Stooges 'Raw Power'
Husker Du 'Land Speed Record'
|
|
|
most audiophiles only listen to Steely Dan and Kitaro. shit like that.
|

man, Discogs has been off the hook this week.
it' all shit i've had up forever too.
from Gay With Abortion to Indigo Girls CD's.

Christian Vander's daughter just bought a Tony Williams record from me.

This is oddly my SECOND random contact with a member of the Mag Fam.
|

Just listed my first items on Discogs . . . I accidentally bought three copies of the same Fucked Up 7" on RSD 2010 because they had different covers. Only when I got home did I realize it was the same Daytrotter session just packaged different. Icing on this cake is that two of them are now worth $30 or so each, though I don't know what the market for Fucked Up 7"s is like.
|
|
|
hey all you pro's.
is there a way that i could mass update all my shit listed to drop it by a certain percentage of flat amount?
|
|
|
I wish.
|
|
|
Yes, there is.
Download your inventory to a spreadsheet, change the prices by sorting first, than re-upload to discogs.
|
|
|
thanks, sanpeeps. just started using this. i was using MusicStack before, but I like this much better.
|

Robert Pollard just bought a record from me! Wwax - like it or not double 7" Superchunk related
|

Cool. I bought a bunch from Jason Lescalleet recebtly, too. Didnt remember who he was, but brilly reminded me.
Also, I'm guessing it was C Vander who bought that record from me.

I figured out how to catalogue my collection on Discogs this weekend, and I've already got more that 400 records entered. This is mindlessly addictive.
Anyway, I seem to remember someone telling me it's possible to get Discogs to estimate the value of records based on what other sellers have gotten for them. I'm really curious what the rough overall value of my collection is. Is this possible? If so, how is this done?
Not that I'm selling anything, I'm just curious.
|
|
|
Not sure about that.
It sure is mindless addictive tho. I can't even wagt ten minutes after I acquire something when I get home and list it. So dumb.
|
|
|
Yeah, it's easy. From the front page, click on 'Collection'... then in the upper right-hand corner you should see four icons. Click on the one that looks like a bar graph (called 'Statistics').

D'oh!
I sold two records on Nov. 20th, one by the B.B. & Q Band, the other by B.B. King. Both were sent to the wrong buyer!
|
|
|
3000 listed3000 listed by today. Looks like it took 5 1/2 months to list the last 1400, this is slow going.
|
|
|
The last 2 orders I made both ignored me and my repeated attempts to contact them. Shit , all I wanted yo do wad buy their records. Fuckin jerks.
|
|
|
Just shipped a record to Terry Bradshaw in Valencia, Cali. Probably not the Terry Bradshaw, but cool.
|
|
|
they've appeared to switch things up so that you must enter shipping information per destination, otherwise the invoices sent to customers will not work properly... had two issues tonight already & after re-doing the paypal on my website, I dunno if I have the patience to set-up more shit via discogs.
anyone else having this problem?
|
|
|
YITH, street view his mailing address on google, then you'll know. Terry put out a country LP on Epic Records(!)
I street viewed John Oates address in Philly and confirmed that yes, it was indeed that John Oates.
|
|
|
Anyone have any Can LPs?
Really want a decent copy of Ege Bamyasi.
|
|
|
electric fetus
|
|
|
No shit?
The Merge reissues?
still life, last time I was there, I was with you like 3 years ago.
|
|
|
Is it because John Oates stands outside his building all day, every day? Or is it just because the house is totally BAAAAALLAAAAAA?
|
|
|
i'm guessing they have them
|
|
|
fetus has or had new copies of several can albums and I have a few of them. They really aren't that bad packaging wise and sound wise but they're almost certainly bootlegs as they have the "united artists" label which I understand hasn't existed for many years. Also you can't buy them legitimately anywhere online that I can find.
|

strait up BALLER

|
|
FYI I am kicking my discogs account back into action in the coming weeks and will be posting some pretty good shit. Making good on my promise to myself to prune the collection from time to time. Now is that time. Gonna be fun and awesome.
|
|
|
Uh-oh
|
|
|
You are the only other person offering a mono copy of Freak Out.
|
|
|
And I'm not letting it go anytime soon I reckon.
|
|
|
Not for as cheap as I will.
|
|
|
I could maybe use another?
Junior actually just pointed to that one TONIGHT and said he wanted to hear it.
Time table that life span.
|
|
|
If he won't be listening to it in the leather overalls I got him it doesn't have the same impact. Kid need to learn to appreciate a tight fit.
|
|
|
Those duds just finally made it to their their New good last night .
That ones still got a ways to go till they fit tho.

anyone else having issues with their shipping calculator for invoices?
|
|
|
I, uh... didn't know they HAD such a thing.
|
|
|
Hey, I think some discussion of this is in another thread but I can't find it. Where are you all setting your prices to ship to Europe after the recent postage hikes?
|
|
|
21 + 6 each additional
high but i dont give a fuck. shipping overseas has become the worst part of this record affair, for sure. UGGGH.
|
|
|
Thanks. I had someone ask me about shipping to France the other day, and I didn't know how much it had gone up so I quoted her/him $16-17. Looks like I lowballed myself, but it was a cheap record and they probably won't bite anyway.
By the by, here is where I have a few things for sale. Small selection at the moment. I can't offer local pickup to most of you but consider everything to have "make offer" alongside it.
|
|
|
fyi, the ACTUAL cost of shipping 1 lp overseas is around $20 now.

added today to my notable customer list, along with former NFL players and Christian Vander's daughter:
Henry Rollins!
|
|
|
He's buying up all the Soft Abuse recordings he can, now that he's said he's a friend of the label.
|
|
|
Wow, really? That's quite an endorsement. F&F gonna be a BALLER soon?
|
|
|
Carlos Slim shipped something to Rollins last week.
|
|
|
SOMEONE's on a credit card binge.
|
|
|
probably need to start a "bump when Rollins buys your stuff" thread
|
|
|
The only "famous" person I have sold som,ething to on discogs is Mortiis.
|
|
|
ha, you most def WIN.

teddy which football players and what did they buy?
|
|
|
tebow is collecting all the burzum lps, i heard
|
|
|
Ummmmm, some African-named guy from the 49ers or something????
It was weird, cuz I looked him up BECAUSE he was a total prick about a complaint issue he had on a Virgil Thomson record or something. Seriously. The whole affair was confounding and odd in the mix of unlikely signifiers.
|
|
|
are you sure it wasn't justn pretending to be jerry rice
|
|
|
'Jerry Rice' is African-sounding?
|
|
|
dude
|
|
|
Uh, yes?
|
|
|
teddy can you look up old sales? this is ultra IMPORTANT TO ME!!!! :)
|
|
|
it was a joke
|
|
|
haha, mags if so, then yes.
|
|
|
brb
|
|
|
you rule! this would haunt me the rest of my days
|
|
|
ok, i just re-read the transaction notes from the guys and he actually wasn't a prick at all; just very.... fastidious? The complaint note was like 1,000 words!
|
|
|
what was his name?
|
|
|
But was was his (faked by justn) NAME?
|
|
|
pm
|
|
|
That doesn't sound African, either!
|
|
|
pm doesn't play football, he's a basketball guy
|
|
|
yeah but he's SUPER african
|
|
|
Mortiis isn't even human.

Does a MEAN lay-up tho. Must be the wings!

"Dear Adam
I desperately need track 14 "(She Put The) Wamee (On Me)" from the cd "Screamin' Jay Hawkins – Voodoo Jive: The Best Of Screamin' Jay Hawkins" that you are selling. I need it in WAV quality before Wedensday and live in Denmark, so I can't wait for shipping from the US.
Would you rip it in WAV quality for me and send me the file if I transfer 20$ to your paypal account? You can make the rip in Itunes - just remember to set the your import settings to WAV under advanced preferences.
All the best,
Martin "
|
|
|
fuckin do it
|
|
|
duh
|
|
|
hope you get busted
|
|
|
Gee, that's so sweet.
|
|
|
The advantage to owning CDs. Denmarkers begging for WAVs is a new one. Is he buying the thing, too?
|
|
|
I haven't communicated yet.
|
|
|
I'm late to this conversation but I've totally sold something to Rollins online. The Season 4 DVD set of Law & Order: SVU. I hand-typed the lyrics to "TV Party" on a piece of paper and slipped it in with the invoice.
|
|
|
I hoped you subbed "Law And Order: SVU" for "Jeffersons" or "Fridays."
|
|
|
ha, I thought about that but decided to play it as straight-faced as possible.
|
|
|
finally snagged something stateside I've had in my wantlist for like 2 years, christ.
|
|
|
definitely just sold a magnolia electric co. LP
|
|
|
haha rae.
I was SO TEMPTED to offer some sort of disclaimer message about any "damage" that might occur to the record upon arrival, etc etc....
I resisted.
|
|
|
Just 'scogged a copy of Mute Massaker 2xLP!! Very excited!
|
|
|
is that Brotzmann?
|
|
|
Oh yeah. His best, imo.
|
|
|
only heard Home.
So, shuga recs just made an offer on a classical record from my collection.
WHAT SHOULD I DO
|
|
|
be all "hey i just dbl checked the condition and it's G+ so i'm gonna have to triple my asking price"
|
|
|
sell it bro
|
|
|
Tell them you don't sell to crazy people and by the way that Salamander record is still astronomically overpriced according to me and my four or five goons.
|
|
|
To be fair, you are a cardholding member of the Gay Gestappo, right?
|
|
|
Tell Shuga that you checked the personnel and Bob Dylan's great uncle played cello on the record.
THEREFORE
Local band! Price quintuples!
|
|
|
just got Cure Fascination Street 12" in the mail and it's a generic sleeve. I don't really care, but :(
|
|
|
^ it's all about the music man, the music in the grooves
|
|
|
YEAH MAN
Was it advertised differently? This is what feedback/communication is for I guess.
|
|
|
I ordered a Francoise Hardy LP last week. Package arrived today with the album I ordered plus another F.H. LP with a note saying that it was too beat up to list/sell but it plays just fine and I'd prob like it. Listening to it now and although it looks kinda iffy, it sounds great, and might even be a better album than the one I ordered.
Free stuff? Oh hell yeah!
|
|
|
Wtf.
I'm mailing out a fh record TODAY. is she like blowing up or something?
Also, I'm not planning to include freebies, am I doing it wrong?
|
|
|
I just gave a guy a preemptive partial refund because I noticed that the Quad Best of the Doors LP he bought wasn't as I described it (2 years ago) when I listed it for sale. Hope he appreciates it as much as you did the free FH LP, stink.
|
|
|
I'm sure he's totally rocking that on a vintage Quad system. ;)
Discogs Profile: LZRDKING42069
|
|
|
Are Quad records still a thing? I generally see them around for regular prices, but lo and behold I went to Mr Z3r0's a while back and every Quad record they had was priced at $30 and up.
Weird.
|
|
|
I don't know, but I <b>do</i> know that there are some crazy quad people out there. My Marantz receiver does quad, but requires a special piece of decoding hardware to play the commercial quad releases. And those go for around $200 on eBay.
|
|
|
i bought a quad tubular bells and it kinda sounds fucked up, maybe because i don't have a quad set up :/
|
|
|
I have a Quad Jerry Reed record I've never played. Got it for a dollar...hmmmmmm maybe I do need to get with Discogs. I see $$$$$$$$$$$ dancing in my head!
|
|
|
quad Jerry Reed makes no sense or it makes more sense than anything since creation
|
|
|
haha
|
|
|
Marantz made the SQ Quad, which is different than RM Quad. Quad records vary in Quad format. Sweet, eh? I guess the reel-to-reel Q4 format is supposed to be the "audiophile favorite."
Most Quad records aren't that expensive, but the "good titles" i.e. actual Good Albums that are also Quad will get serious prices in nice condition.
Personally I have always been surprised not only by which albums get "the treatment" from labels (some of those "weird choices" are also true for MFSL/Nautilus pressings too), but by how many Quad records are in really crappy beat-up shape when you would think the consumer drawn to such a product (and willing to outfit their living rooms the a compatible system and the investment that requires) would tend to take especially good care of their stuff.
Huh.
|
|
|
I must admit, it's tempting just to pick up two more Paradigm Titans to see what Quad is all about.
|
|
|
that record's [production is kinda odd anyway, so it's hard to tell.
I've been tempted to check out some quad system somewhere (?), anyone have one?
Also, what is the difference between that and SS?
|
|
|
So, I'm too lazy to start listing these 78s, 33 1/3s, and 45s from Granny separately. Any of you guys interested in looking at the lot of them? Some of the 78s are Okeh, Mercury, Columbia, and Decca. Some look to be in good condition, some don't.
|
|
|
Threw a handful of stuff up on the page. Negotiable prices. I'll deliver if you're local.
Check it.
|
|
|
new things added, prices reduced
here
|
|
|
Oh that's YOU selling the Statues picture sleeve! Haha. I thought about buying that a while ago.
|
|
|
I will be beginning to sell a nice collection for someone else very soon. Started the account yesterday and will be listing roughly 100 titles weekly. Rock, new wave, punk, jazz, and many Mobile Fidelity and other audiophile pressings as well. Gonna be fun.
|
|
|
can you link to your store Savage?
|
|
|
clone please wait until I'm gainfully employed
|
|
|
