This was my finding as well.

If you guys are talking about record city, pretty sure they say upfront that you should buy from their website instead of discogs. Prices are always cheaper and shipping is also cheaper I think. I did a comparison once of a 4 album order just to make sure and it was a sizeable price difference between the two
 
Not a recommendation 100% of the time but many sellers on Cogs will negotiate a little more lower if you pay them directly cutting out the cogs fee.

This increases risk on the transaction. Be careful. I only do this with a seller I can have some confidence won't stiff me.

BTW these JPY exchange rates are insanely good right now. Now is the time to shop if buying anything from Japan.

The mofi communique has really been tempting me from target especially since I have a coupon...

The original US and Canadian presses are so good and are a dime a dozen though.

All Dire Straits Mofi is a buy.
Not even a fence sitting question.
Just go for it.
