glad they actually followed through eventually for you. This person has 5 neutral and 23 neg reviews in the past 12 months. 63 total negative. I updated my buyer min feedback to 90% so that would prevent them from buying again.
Honestly anything below 98 with more than 100 reviews is bad. 99 times out of 100 you're gonna be able to make it right with the buyer to avoid negative feedback.
I probably spent years using discogs before ever thinking to use the 'my collection' feature. I never would have thought of that as a reason to be suspicious of the buyer. Hope this works out for you.
If your concern is with the new IRS rules, there's no way around it if you're selling via a site like eBay or Etsy or cogs. The entity processing the payment transaction has to report it, whether that entity is PayPal or the site directly.
Totally doable. 20 records a week would cover a 1000 in a year. What I did when I did mine is was a small batch on Saturday with coffee, and the same again on Sunday.
I don’t know how others feel, but I’m at 800+ and it’s been a big project. I started selling on Discogs this fall, so I’ve been going through my collection closely - cleaning, checking exact pressing, etc. I’m finding at least 15-20% of my entries have have had to be changed. Either I just scanned barcodes and missed exact runoffs or the entry itself has been changed. (This particularly seems to be an issue with big artists with multiple pressings of the same title (Dylan, Stones, Beatles, Springsteen, etc.) and seemingly every 80s indie artists.
I would add to @jamieanderson1968 that what I’ve found most helpful is creating my own categories and info fields. I’ve added a “Source” field to identify where I got it. I also added the price I paid, what I might ask for if selling and then what the actual “sold” piece was (if you accept offers).
IRS as in tax stuff ? Im not in the US.
Yeah IMO the app is absolutely garbage for everything except the shake for random, barcode scanning (sometimes misleading as you noted) and it lets you sort by genre. I have deleted it in frustration several times.
When I did mine I think I was between 4 and 500 and I don't think it took me more than a few weeks. I would just do it whenever listening. Easier if you know which, or about which, pressing most of your albums are.
The app is good for keeping tabs of what you already have in your collection too. I have the app pulled up every time I am in my local record store to make sure I am not buying something I already own. It also works well for a quick price comp to ensure I am not overpaying for something.
Sure, but personally, I find it easier to just find the right pressing in my browser unless I want to scan the barcode. I haven't done this in forever in my local though, because their prices are always considerably higher than I could get online.
I was probably around a 100 titles when I initially started adding my albums to Discogs but I enjoyed it. It’s almost like a crossword puzzle comparing runouts, labels, and sleeves to figure out what entry matches up to your specific pressing. Some are quite the code to crack. Anyways I think the toughest thing for me entering that first 100 or so was that I was sitting on the floor for like 6 hours while I did it. I think my legs fell asleep multiple times but the detective work was fun.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I wanna say they have improved it a little bit over the last few years. You can see the release notes and user reviews now in the app (which I don’t think was available a few years ago) but the more detailed info you still have to hit the browser.
