There's also almost a whole page of argument about how the color should be displayed for good measure.
Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips
- Thread starter LeeVing
- Start date
Looks like a repress to me....at least that's how I'd enter it if it was my sub. Using the same GZ "215006M" from the 2020 release shows that it is a repress of that plate
Colors can be tricky....go with what it looks like or marketing color.
Marketing colors can be so off of what is actually released, that I usually go with what it is actually released as.
I also recently had some issues with people really wanting to change the date of the German DMM White Album.
This has been known as the 1985 German White vinyl White Album for YEARS - probably before Discogs was around.

I just find it interesting that something can be fine for years on the site, then some one makes an edit - it gets reverted, then it's no-stop edits...usually by new users that seem to think it's OK to make the same edit over and over again.

Really getting tired of having to revert the same edit
Take a look at the last 4 months of this sub. Fat Possum originally released it in 2009, but has subsequently released other slightly different pressings over the years, which they do for a lot of their releases I've noticed.
No one seems to read prior edits before changing the date to 2009 - so I'm EI'ing every change on this one from now on.

oh really? you don't say? is that why the last jackass got an EI from you?
it drives me bonkers that people will not look at the submission history when editing. or they provide zero citation for what they're adding.
Looks like that user can't understand what a repress is.
If anyone else wants to chime in feel free.

was reading that earlier but got overwhelmed by said user's barrage of posts absolutely refusing to understand what you (and others) are saying. and saying well.
Yeah...I can't do any more with that.

Update on the selling some stuff on Discogs experiment. I drastically reduced all the bullshit in my sellers terms after stalking a few of the forum peeps who were selling stuff. I think in the beginning I was just trying to make things way more complicated than they needed to be. So far I've had some success on some pretty high dollar items and have already had to pay the man his fees.
My next question is how to approach a message I just received for a record that didn't have a "make offer" option but someone is still making an offer. It's still a fair price but I don't know how to make their price work. Do I just relist for their price with free shipping? Do you think they included their own taxes into consideration? What would you do?

I would just enable the "Make offer" option on that item. It's as easy as checking the box on the edit listing screen. That way everything is through the proper channels.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was as easy as that. I guess I'll just let them know I am switching it over to that option.

I realized I executed the "update Paypal address" move wrong. I should have had the buyer check out on Discogs without paying and then send them an invoice. I instead just invoiced them directly.
The best advice I can give from my 100 sales, is pack records like you want to receive them (I use 2 filler pads on all orders) and I grade everything VG+ or lower. I don't want to mess around with the nitpickers on corner dings.

You can get banned from Discogs?
i feel like you're probably just having a laugh, but the answer is: absolutely.

No, not really. It was a legitimate question. I guess I don't see how they would know you went off Discogs to make a deal? Do they read the conversations or messages when you sell/buy stuff?
I get getting banned if you are messing up listings or putting up fake/prohibited images up on the server, but how would they know about you making deals outside of their page?

I feel like the most viable way it could occur, without Discogs spying on conversations, would be if a seller asks to take it off platform and then either screws over the buyer (forcing to Venmo and sending an unsuitable item or sending a fraudulent item all together) or if they can't come to a deal and the buyer reports them out of spite. I could see that happening I guess.
Just be aware that your account could be shut down at any moment. All it takes is one customer or potential customer to report you, for any reason that makes sense to them.
If you have a lot of positive feedback, it might be worth paying the $4 fee on a sale and keeping your account you've built up. If you're an infrequent seller or your feedback isn't great, it seems like it'd be less of a bummer if you got shut down and had to create a new account.

What's the deal with this seller's pricing?
