discogs marketplace?

oh god and heaven forbid some normal citizen decides to sell at a show and prices everything really low. its like locusts. all of a sudden the poor guy is just standing there with empty boxes and no clothes on.

seen that too

i have a friend who goes to shows to stock his store and i honestly don't know how he does it. he buys good stuff! at high prices. but his bins look nice and shiny for a week. it works for him somehow. he bought a ton of my stuff today. but during the show. like a person. i don't begrudge that. i buy lots of store stuff during shows. i mostly look for cheap funk and soul because i don't get a lot of it where i am. and nobody wants the cheap stuff like that at shows. so, it works out for everyone.

i don't mind sellers taking a look at my records before the show opens. you get there so early, it's one of the perks. if somebody is hoovering up records to resell, though, it's a different thing.

i just mean if one of my friends comes over and wants something, it's like -- yeah. you can buy it. i'm not going to make you wait until 9am sharp.

the problem for me is that if I reveal them at all, the human vacuum cleaners swarm the table instantly

I literally have to keep them covered with sheets

and I don't even really care that they might resell them, I just don't like dealers cleaning out my bins before regular people get a chance to dig

especially this year when I am pricing to sell sell sell

I just bought a used four-CD box set released by Charly Records in the UK through Discogs. It's easy to find in the UK and EU and it's a budget item - not expensive at all, especially for a multi-disc set - but it was nice to be able to buy it in the U.S. rather than deal with expensive shipping charges or wait until my next trip to the UK (whenever that will be).

Problem is, after receiving it, I discovered it was missing its 48-page booklet, complete with session and liner notes plus photos. Huge bummer, but an honest mistake, the seller didn't think it was missing. He said he could give a partial refund, which I'd be okay with, but what's a fair price? The box set was $15 + tax plus an additional shipping charge of $6 via media mail. Should I ask for $5 or $6?

just ask what would make you feel good as the buyer. you didn't slip up, so it's on the seller to accommodate you imo. the difference between 5 or 6 dollars isn't very big.

alternatively you could check the sales history and see if it's ever been sold sans booklet in the past
