Absolutely! Thanks for watching

Yup and I’m brand new with discogs and that worried me and reading the feedbacks of the seller is a lot of work. I’ve been collecting for 40 years and 90% of what I’ve own or had were in nm- condition. And I would like to keep that standard without having to always pay the high prices. So o can tel at a glance what grade it should be. I never minded used records, as long as they are in great condition. So I want the condition that used buyers go by and that’s btwn. Nm and VG+.

Under normal circumstances I would say that isn't necessary, but I do know beatles collectors are quite picky and would really appreciate your extra effort 😁

One of the inclusions on Discogs is actually the runout matrix engraved on the dead wax of records. And actually, that's one way of the seller knowing which pressing they have in their hands. Here's the thing with Discogs, and being a new seller. You are going to find out quick that what you think the value of something you have is just not what it's going to sell for. The good in Discogs is that it's such a huge community and a lot to choose from. And generally, super safe for buyers, since all responsibility lies fully on the seller. So, if the post office loses or damages the package, unfortunately, the seller is at a loss for it. Adversely, being such a dominant marketplace, price points have a tendency to drop super low based on seller competition. And, if something is more scarce, prices inflate ridiculously. It's definitely a more buyer friendly marketplace. If you buy something and are unhappy with the condition. Or, it's not the pressing as listed, you simply contact the seller, return the item. And get a PayPal refund. PayPal has always, and in almost every circumstance, sides with the buyer. And Ultimately, if you make a purchase and a problem occurs, you will get your money back. It's just a matter of a little wait in time. Which, as a grumpy Discogs seller brings me to my final conclusion: selling on Discogs is way more of a risk than a reward. Because, now, you are forced to use PayPal for any and all payments. Whom, always sides with the buyer. I've been selling on discogs for years. I've had records damaged by postal carriers returned, and took a loss on refund. I've mailed records with signature confirmation on delivery, and the buyer says they never got the package and it was somebody else's signature. And PayPal refunded the buyer during a dispute resolution. If you're going to sell on discogs. Just know, you as a seller, have to accept all responsibility. Even for problems beyond your control.

People can be lazy and stupid ❤

Also on my first purchase on Discogs, I pressed the box to agreed to sellers terms and I guess after that I pressed to buy or commit to buy. While putting in the credit card but not finished, I wanted to check eBay and see what was there also for the same tittle. I should’ve done that first , but figured it was still on bc I haven’t submitted my cc and I hate finding a better copy later and cheaper or finding there’s tons of copies. So I decided to just get the copy from Discogs. Then I checked my cart and it was empty and o also couldn’t find it in the listing. Then I found it in my purchase and even tho it was ok, I learned it after you press buy or that box, you were committed . Which was fine, but good to know on how it works. Also I was like where’s the message button and what if you don’t pay bc it was an error, so you just ignore and it’ll drop off or there’s a way to contact the seller? I know on eBay they discourage some messaging to not have ppl. so direct sales. Or did I miss the message option and can you cancel an order? Also, does discogs get involved to help you fix a dispute or you’re on your own?

When you look up something, you get these multiple pop ups. Does that mean you have to check all pop ups and look at different listings? Meaning if I look at one of the pop up, are there going to be more options in the other pop up or one should be fine. So what the return policy of something goes wrong? Meaning do some sellers have return policies or most don’t take returns? And how come when I look at the listing from my phone and how come nobody post photos or the record? Also it’s easy to switch covers and media and I’m sure if you’re not looking for where it made, you should be fine, if original and matches.

Oh really? I've never actually listed anything, that sounds frustrating

@@GrahamStrang It's quite frustrating, I can assure you. And I love your Linda Ronstadt album. I have a few of hers, but not that one. She's not doing so well these days. The Parkinson's is really taking it's toll on her.

What kind of music you have on the market

@@robertoangel9561 Nothing yet cause I can't GET anything on the market. I got a couple of ads for some LP's on Ebay but that's it.

stop it

@@gggg-vg4vj Stop what?

@@glennas94 stop whacking seller attitude, they 100% dont know & your request is a nightmare, i dont even know what pressing is but may sell lp

@@gggg-vg4vj That's on you as the seller, not the buyer. If you have trouble determining the differences between different pressings then maybe stick to selling on eBay.

You need the correct pressing that badly...don't try to get a deal, either buy it sealed, or buy it in person.

@@johnathonbeach1 100% he is sellers' nightmare
