Whats on your turntable tonight?

@uberwaltz,

Well we’ve talked about it before. I think most of us agree that we’ve had more bad experiences than good on Discogs. In my case, when the item shows up in poorer condition than stated or even more problems than stated and you follow the rules by contacting the seller, there maybe some initial concern with no other contact or refund with bad buyer feedback. Oh, and I end up being the "newbie" that is hard to deal with. I ordered a mono/OP/ "Pigboy Crabshaw years ago, and one track had a lot of distortion otherwise I’d kept it. I had already put it through my cleaning regimen. The seller agreed to refund me. After he received it and sent the refund, he wrote me a message, "you’ll never find that title at a better price". All I wanted was a correctly listed item. In his mind, I’m the problem. Shewwww! Don’t even get me started!

Uber...now you can laugh some more...........

Oh, one more thing.....It is proper edicate for the seller to give the buyer feedback upon receiving payment. Not at Discogs, the sellers wait, if you're lucky enough to even receive feedback. Give me a break!

I hear you and agree completely on all that is bad with discogs, remember the debacle I also had with the Led Zep 3 album.
I have thrown better albums away!
But same thing, just cos I had only 8 feedback and the seller had 100+ I am "the noob" and don't know my condition grading!
I remind them that I have 1800+ pos feedback on eBay and most certainly do know a thing or three about record grading and sales/purchases and they then pulled the offer of returning it for a refund and outright stated any bad feedback left would result in the same and likely a report to discogs where I would be sure to lose.

I still might call his bluff, say 10 minutes before feedback time period is ending!

And Slaw... you know I am not laughing at you of course, just the absurdity of the situation.

@uberwaltz,

I understood that brother.

I think in order to be a seller, a requirement should be to play-grade on a competent system.

Others should start their own inferior selling site and state that it’s inferior upfront. Yeah! Boy, if I were King of the vinyl selling world?

I should say at upon reading @rafevw listings, it seems obvious his descriptions are from play grading. One of the good guys.
