What Joe said. The policies are annoying but once they're set up, it's super easy. And convenient since it will add on shipping and you'll get payment (usually) immediately.

I have no issues. Super hassle free and most people are very pleasant to deal with. Printing shipping labels is really easy from Paypal or Discogs. I generally do Paypal since the address is filled in already (make sure they match) and you can add on insurance. For international, discogs labels are way cheaper though.

The sales history make it super easy to decide what to price stuff at too. You can make an educated decision on if you want to price it to move fast, or try to stick to what similiar ones have sold recently. Honestly can't recommend it enough if you're trying to clear up space or make a quick buck

I just figured out the shipping service I use, plugs into discogs and pulls all the info! (pirateship.com). And you can get insurance on media mail for pretty cheap.

I think its more the aspect that you have to treat each album as the same in terms of shipping (unless there is a way to set each individual price) which irks me.

For example, I just now sold an album (albeit on eBay) for £5 plus £3.20 postage. I know that the £3.20 is the exact price for a Royal Mail standard 2nd class shipping for a small parcel. However, I sold an album for over £650 last year and had it fully insured with the quickest delivery time. With the weight or lp system of postage, Discogs would view those 2 items as the same but in reality, I would no way use the standard second class postage for the 2nd sale. If that makes sense?

You can change shipping cost by service, weight or country.

Dude, my want list is a ghost town since those new regulations came in. I'd say 70% of sellers dropped international.

The sad part is, its not that hard. 24$ covers me for most of Europe. 14$ covers me for North America. The range of weight to price is 2lbs so I dont worry about weight on 99% of what I sell.

I like the new system since it does it automatically and I get payment usually immediately. But they should definitely not make it a requirement. Make it optional.

I just do everything by Record so that generally covers box sets. Media mail is pretty cheap so I've found even box sets don't cost more than what shipping automatically charges at my set prices

But you have to remember, media mail is only an American luxury.

Agreed with @MikeH that the live album is a great place to start - he is a storyteller at heart - along with the debut. I was lucky enough to see him on The Missing Years tour in '92 and have been hooked ever since. Bruised Orange is pretty great, but I'd be sure to work Sweet Revenge into your first five. It's a perfect blend of his sense of humor and storytelling prowess. Not to mention, that album cover.

My prediction: you'll have more Prine records than me by this time next month. 🤣

I don't know about that. We'll see soon enough I guess!

Retro Arcade. Game cabinet has 12,500 games on it. Pretty much every arcade game from about 1975 until the late 90s.
And SuperChexx Bubble Hockey, best bubble hockey game ever.

I have a sit down arcade table I got online. For every great game there are about 100 hilarious knock offs, like Fighters of the streets, Mr Dug Do, Puck-man, Battle Toads, Falling Blox etc
 
So I had tracking today......for a replacement they said they will ship out before Christmas.

Interested to see if it actually includes this months ROTM's or not.
