example "Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack".
it may not matter in some instances ( except for sound quality of course and collectability) but with the censorship happening it does. that's on those individuals not the community as a whole.spent time looking to buy a specific original version and get a new/repress.
hmm ive purchased probably a lil over a dozen from various people and for the most part it has been as they described. but I see others struggling crying in text "help out the little guy" in the album descriptions.Īs far as quality goes. lol im not a "flipper" so that really don't hurt me. been there 3 months and only sold 2 (two) records. how is anyone supposed to reach that goal if that happens? and 2/3rds don't leave feedback to begin with. I may be a "newbie" to discogs but heck man, they bottleneck anyone new from the get go, with that ignore users/sellers with less than rating option. Very few records are so rare that you have to settle for the first (or only) copy you find. When in doubt, just wait for the next listing to come along. even if it's just information on how the seller grades their records. If they provide a more detailed explanation of the record's condition, you have more information to go by. If their reply is short and uninformative, I would avoid them. I'm very picky about album condition, so can you verify that this album is indeed in this condition, with no scratches, scuffs, groove wear, and soiling?" Their response will often help your decision. Say something like " I'm interested in your listing for this album. If in doubt, strike up a conversation with the seller and ask some questions first. any reports of inaccurate grading) and check on their return policies. Look for the warning signs in sellers feedback (e.g. Many listings are overpriced and overgraded. You just don't find that on Discogs and certainly not Ebay.ĭiscogs is good for what it is, but one should always be discriminating when buying and never rely on just one resource. He's the first to admit it's not a high volume sales site ( link) but Musicstack also has a level of trustworthiness when it comes to buyer-seller relationships. Dave Stack has done a nice job with the site, making it internationally based with only a third of its sellers in the United States ( link). I'm glad to see some love in this thread for Musicstack. The other was a Japanese first pressing of The Jam's Sound Affects LP. One was a 12" single of The Alarm's "Rain In The Summertime." That was $6. I just looked up my last two purchases from Craig Moerer's Records By Mail. If I'm looking for a record and find it available from one of them, I stop looking.Īt this point in my record collecting experience I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest price but an honest deal. Frankly, all of the stores on my list are this way. They, too, charge what a record is worth but you are also sure it's properly graded.
