Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

Weird. I just did a random check on 6 titles in my collection. 3 showed different median amounts between the collection screen and the release screen. Of the 3, only 1 was a large amount (more than $10). The other 3 were correct.

Its very annoying and something that I have noticed for a long while. Kind of makes the overall collection 'value' redundant.

I don't know if it's the same thing but any big swings in the value of my collection (eg the time it grew and fell by £3,000 in a day) I now put down to changes in my currency (pounds) versus the dollar. That would probably explain the small differences, but not the big ones.

The change in currency definitely plays a part. I will randomly note down the current median of some of the bigger records in my notes and will often see it change without any having sold. In fact, the past 50-100 records I have 'added' to my collection hasnt made an impact at all on the overall median as the value keeps dropping, so they balance out.
 
I've mentioned my issue to @GentleSenator before - but I can't stand when someone adds a web image to a new sub I just submitted within 5 minutes of it being up.

First off - If that was allowed I would have done it.

Secondly - Keep your panties on - there's no rush to have an image. Images are not a requirement. You can see on my profile that I do upload images, I just don't always get to them right when I submit a new release. If no one else uploads actual images of the physical release I'll eventually get to it.


As for instant new sellers - I've noticed this happening frequently in the last couple years. Sellers are just waiting for someone else to make the page so they can get it up - usually it's not even the right variant.

This to me is a discogs issue and why individual seller listings should require images of their own item. I’m sure that’s a database nightmare but it’s very weird that when I buy an item it’s just kind of a blind buy.

I rarely buy an unopened album off of Discogs unless it’s fairly obvious which version I will getting. When I order an opened item and I am looking for a specific press, I will ask them to confirm what the runout before I will send payment and if it isn’t the correct one I have them cancel the order.
 
So I have a strange situation currently happening.
I had someone place an order for 2 items, and for some reason, they only got invoiced for shipping. Now Discogs won't let me cancel/refund the order, and I am kinda lost on what to do.
Anyone know what could have happened here?

That is bizarre! I've had it the other way round a few times before, invoices sent without shipping. Hope you managed to settle up.

This has to be a new record for me... I added a new release and no later than 10 minutes passed before it was listed for sale by someone else...

Thanks for adding it! I'm really digging this release, definitely one of my favorite JD Top Shelf releases thus far. I've seen it "recommended for fans of downtempo jazz-funk". I'm generally not that into jazz-funk, but the downtempo qualifier works well.

Best thing The Boss put out since 2012.

Gotta love the fact that the one entry for the US Indie Exclusive gray version is for the Misprint but it's not labeled as such, only mentioned in the notes. Meanwhile somebody in the comments mentions having a non-misprinted version but nobody's bothered to create a proper entry for it. :rolleyes:

I guess I know what I'm doing later this afternoon...
(I can finally get the more recent pressing of Black Flag's Who's Got The 10½? that I've been sitting on done too!)
