guys like that don't want to visit the forums. it's just too easy to clog up the submission notes.

i totally understand his sentiments & logic, but how many times does one need to be shown the discogs rules for them to accept them?

Right...I also get that every new reissue is technically a new vinyl master if it's not a repress.

But a new vinyl master doesn't always mean "remaster".

Cutting a new lacquer from the original master (digital or tape) and adjusting the EQ for vinyl isn't a remaster...or almost every vinyl reissue would be considered one.
 
Just pulled the trigger on 125 whiplash mailers so I can keep selling. Overall the u-line mailers worked really well for me with the fillers on my last batch, but I was stressing for every order until it safely arrived. Hoping the peace of mind will be worth the extra money and I can recoup costs quickly.

Now just to force myself to part ways with 125+ records....
 
Yeah, they had a good year.

I also like how the Strokes were 4 of the top 5 most wanted with The Stooges VMP version at 3rd.
 
Ok, Whiplash mailer users...What do you think is the best way to pack these?

It seems like one record needs like 4 fillers to fill up space. And 3 won't fit the fillers at all if I want to separate them....honestly the optimal amount of records while still using fillers for these seems like 2. And I don't think I've ever had a 2 order....

I got my box of Whiplash mailers in. Not sure what I was expecting but a box of 125 mailers is very big and pretty heavy.

Now hopefully this was worth paying over 3x more than u-liners....

What's the per-piece cost on the Whiplash?
The packing problem you mention seems to be a pain.

Still looking for strong, non-ULINE mailers that aren't $1 each.

With shipping(and not including fillers), they come to $1.40/piece. Not cheap. And considering my last batch of 50 uLINES I had a total of one damaged record (and it was only minor corner bumbs), we’ll see if this is worth it

For the record, pun intended, I have never had a complaint of a damaged record shipped in a uline.

I feel like records need more protection sometimes but I can't argue with the stats.

yeah, Ive gotten some messed up records and bent corners but its almost when they have no fillers to give additional protection and/or they have 3 records stuffed in.
 
I just recently started listening some things on Discogs. Is it unusual for a buyer to place an order and not pay instantly? I had someone place an order last night but still not payment. I know they have 5 days but every other order I've gotten payment immediately.

I have people do that that may be waiting for payday so they usually pay in one or two days and I have the people who I need to send a message to asking them to complete their order. By reaching out to them I've never had an order I had to cancel for non payment.

I do wait at least two days before I poke them.

Maybe they get paid tomorrow and just wanted to put a hold on that album/price until their money comes through?

No idea, though. I always pay immediately unless I have to wait for the seller to calculate shipping first.
