So this triangle is also on Bernie Grundman cut of Otis Redding – Love Man

BG ▽ R1-2895-A 0603497833344 BM85705-01 A1

I have a feeling this is a new apprentice situation - same as the "!" used to be.


it's also on The Doors – Golden Album


I posted a question in the Discogs runout thread to the person that has the BG Mastering contact and got all the Scott Stratton credits figured out - maybe he can get this one figured out, too - or at least let us know if it is a person or what it means (if anything)

Got a reply on that triangle meaning...

"some clients want us to use that marking to ensure that our diamond stylus was used on the cut. If a cut doesn't have the upside down triangle it doesn't mean that the diamond stylus wasn't used. We have been exclusively using the diamond stylus for two-ish years now, but we mark it on some of our clients lacquers so it is explicitly known." So, it's a trademark of sorts. Again, big thanks to Chase at BGM for sharing that!!!!

I've really only seen it on BG cuts myself - doing a search for "CB ▽" didn't com up with anything

Nothing like having a seller not communicate at all about your order, having them ship after 4 days, and receiving it the next day to discover their address is 12 minutes across town, but you just paid $24 to have 4 records shipped... only to find that only 3 of the records you ordered in the box upon arrival!

That's bullshit. This happened to me a few months ago, except I was the seller. When I saw how close the buyer was, I contacted him. We met the next day at a coffee shop, he bought a second record from me off book, and we had a nice conversation.
 
Quickly approaching the first time my auto-cancellation policy will be tested. Even after a 4-day reminder. Not really thinking this guy will mind since his account was created the day before the order. Although he might mind the negative feedback... At the very least he's getting a neutral.

Gotta go negative. Then if he responds with a reason you can always remove it and he can place the order again. My 60 year old uncle joined discogs and did this same thing with his first order. Swears he paid but missed the last step, then of course didn’t go back to the site after the order to check on it.

He explained the situation and got it removed then put the order in again correctly. Maybe the buyer is my uncle? 🤣

If you have auto cancellation it will automatically give negative feedback upon the cancellation. I had this happen to me with a guy from Italy. About 6 months later he replied saying he was new to the site, placed the order accidentally without knowing what he was doing and then didn’t log on again for 6 months. His only feedback remains my negative.
 
I have listed a few things for sale on my little store, and two have defaulted to my ridiculously overpriced "do not use this option" shipping option, and I can't figure out how to change it. I have tried changing weights and item numbers, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

You have to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to get that toggle and then it goes back to not being set up like the useless app.

Oh, I figured that. I just don't like it.

I was sharing information. I didn’t even notice the toggle until I posted the screen shot. Then I think I had closed that window and was on another window with a different artist with many more albums and was like where is that shit?

Just realized I never came back to update this but everything was resolved satisfactorily - I got a refund on the missing item and a deep discount on further purchases that I made outside of Discogs from the same seller with local pick-up. Frustrating in the moment, but ended up being great all around.
