does that mean that they, like, lost the picture sleeve or something?

people keep telling me that i should sell on discogs. should i move on over from ebay? i keep hearing about how people regularly pay really high prices on there for stuff. and that you can move things quicker.
― scott seward, Saturday, 27 November 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
if you've got a rare rap or disco record, discogs is a good way to go tbh. we've put stuff up for $100 or $200 and it'll sell overnight sometimes.

definitely browsed by serious record collector type dudes.
discogs sales history is pretty cool too

there's more than enough to love in every record, i think. so long as you aren't bothered by it being a solo over theme from doctor zhivago or something
my roommate got me into chet & also told me this wonderful story about him. apparently some 20th c virtuoso classical guitarist, on his deathbed, was asked who the greatest living guitarist was and he answered "chester atkins"

Amateurist tipped me off to a guy selling a ton of old-time music LPs and even more excitingly, 78rpm acetates of ultra-rare sides, duped from clean originals. Such good stuff. Alfred Karnes. Shortbuckle Roark. Charlie Bowman. Floyd Ming & His Pep Steppers (asian-american fiddle band!)... drooling over here.

YOU ARE BUYING THE ITEM(s) SHOWN & DESCRIBED IN THE HEADING: HERE WE HAVE THE MOODY BLUE, BLUE VINYL LP. WHAT A COLLECTOR'S ITEM!! THE DISC IS IN 4 PIECES. BUT THIS SHOULDN'T DETER A TRUE ELVIS COLLECTOR. THE PEOPLE AT THE GOODWILL STORE, WHERE I BOUGHT IT, TOLD ME IT WOULD PLAY JUST FINE, IF IT WAS GLUED BACK TOGETHER. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GLUE RECORDS, SO AM PROVIDING A TUBE OF GLUE, FOR THE LUCKY PERSON WHO BUYS IT. I AM NOT CHARGING ANYTHING FOR THE GLUE! THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL LP's & MUSIC RELATED ITEMS, I AM OFFERING. SOME, ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND. I USE THE STANDARD GRADING SYSTEM & THESE ABBREVIATIONS: WOC = WRITING ON COVER, DOC = DATE ON COVER, NOC = NAME ON COVER, BTM = BOTTOM, {ST} = STEREO, TP = TOP, BB = DRILL HOLE, CC = CUT CORNER, SPL = SPLIT, TP = TAPED, BC = BACK COVER, WR = WEAR, LBL = LABEL, RI = REISSUE, SM = SEAM. COVER IS GRADED FIRST, THEN THE RECORD. THESE LP's ARE DATED, GRADED & DESCRIBED ACCURATELY. THE LABELS ARE SHOWN IN THE PICS. READ THE INFO CAREFULLY & YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE ITEM. FACT: IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THERE HAS BEEN A DRASTIC DECLINE, IN LP'S BEING OFFERED ON EBAY {FROM 3 MILLION TO 2 MILLION}. I DO NOT KNOW IF EVERYONE WORE OUT THEIR "RELIST" BUTTONS, OR THERE ARE FEWER, WINTER GARAGE & RUMMAGE SALES, WHERE SOME VENDORS SCROUNGE FOR THEIR STOCK. PROBABLY BOTH. I STILL HAVE PLENTY TO SELL, EVEN THO THEY ARE NOT ALL "SUPER RARE" - MEGA RARE" - "AWESOME" - "COOL" -"GROOVY" - "GORGEOUS" - "FANTASTIC" - "STUNNING" - "STUPENDOUS" - "INCREDIBLE" - "STONE MINT" - "VG+++" - "STILL IN SHRINK" - "PERSONAL COLLECTION" - "ESTATE FIND {RUMMAGE SALE}" & ETC. I'LL SPARE YOU THE BS! I DON'T USE EBAY'S MOST OVERUSED WORD, "RARE", VERY OFTEN. BUT WHEN I DO -- IT IS!! OVER 90 % OF THE LP's, NOW BEING OFFERED, ARE AT "SET SALE", MOSTLY, STOCKPILED & OVERRUNNING VENDORS STORES. THIS MAKES THINGS VERY SIMPLE. JUST GO & COMPARE OTHER GRADES, SELECTIONS & PRICES. THEN COME BACK HERE, & BUY SOME THESE! THIS ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED IN A SLEEVE, NOT CRAMMED IN A USED WALMART BAG & SHIPPED IN A USED PIZZA BOX. ALAS!! THE PO HAS RAISED THEIR RATES AGAIN -- WITHOUT EVEN ASKING EBAY. THEY COULD GET THEIR "PRIVILEGES" SUSPENDED. EVEN MORE DRASTIC, EBAY MIGHT START IT'S OWN POST OFFICE. IT ALREADY HAS IT'S OWN CREDIT CARD COMPANY {PAY PAL} & IT'S OWN BANK {WEBBANK = 19.99 % ANNUAL INTEREST RATE}. THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING, UNLESS YOU USED EBAY'S SHIPPING. YEP, THERE GOES A FEW MILLION MORE, EBAY USERS. I NOW HAVE TO SHIP MEDIA MAIL", AS EBAY ONLY LETS ME CHARGE $4 FOR SHIPPING, EVEN THO I NOW PAY FROM $6.50 - $9.50 {1st CLASS} TO SEND ONE LP. THEY EVEN URGE & "STRONGLY RECOMMEND", THAT I OFFER FREE SHIPPING. EVER WONDER WHY AN ITEM IS LISTED FOR $20, WITH "FREE SHIPPING", YET THE SAME IDENTICAL ITEM IS LISTED SEVERAL PLACES ELSEWHERE, FOR $10, PLUS $5 SHIPPING?? THIS COMMON SELLING PRACTICE IS DONE , WITH EBAY'S BLESSING, AS THEY GET A COMMISSION FROM THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE SALE, INSTEAD OF JUST THE PRICE OF THE ITEM, WITH SHIPPING ADDED. WISE UP!! I HAVE ONE SHIPPING PRICE - $4 PER ORDER{s}, WHETHER YOU BUY ONE, OR MORE {SAME DAY}. OVERSEAS BUYERS: YOU ARE GETTING BUTCHERED! IGNORE THE STANDARD SHIPPING RATES. I CAN SEND 12-16 LP's TO EUROPE, FOR $46. I WILL SEND YOU A REASONABLE QUOTE. YOU WILL BE VERY SATISFIED. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

I got sniped in real life! I almost shanked the fool. I'd been shopping for a few hours in 2 stores and was kinda tired. I didn't really feel like digging anymore, but knew this store had good 12" selection and went in looking for only one record. I ask the guy where I might find it (it's could be filed in a bunch of places). I tell him it's Bits and Pieces. Cover of a Yarborough & Peoples track on Mango. He points me to the Mango/Island section but there's a guy in front of it. I wait a second and it's not there. 1 second later and the guy that worked there told me the guy was listening to it. He probably heard me asking about it and he bought it. I was so pissed. it's not like a super rare record. It turns up all the time online but always in Europe and i dont wanna pay for shipping. Oh well, he'll get his.

head-scratching lol-worthy reply from a japanese seller (i asked about an lp's condition):
"OK!!Although condition is very good, it does not become precocious. The check of the noise is not carried out, either. However, LP gas in Japan thinks that condition is good comparatively. I am looking forward to being able to deal with you in the future. I would appreciate your favor. Thank you."
i was relieved to hear it doesn't become precocious (as you can imagine), so i placed a low bid, and won.

"Hello, Thank you for buying it!! Please select it from a delivery method here. Please pay by the delivery method of hope."
