moonbeams Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Anyone else tired of these? Are you an uptight Discogs prick? Discogs has pages and pages of rules for submissions, many of which have been recently updated, so it is possible that your once-fine entry is now breaking some rules. Along comes some prick, who instead of messaging you about a problem or editing the release by themselves, casts a "completely wrong down vote" which gets you banned if you get too many.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 All I hear about discogs is people being shitty over record grading. I never grade records because I don't want anyone using it against me. smailtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have probably sold 600 records on discogs. Only two complainants ever...one messaged me 3 months after he got the record saying the jacket came unglued...another about a month ago said I over graded at vg+ because he heard some surface noise. I had to show him the goldmine standards but he wanted a 75 percent refund. I told him he had to return for full refund as those type of people want the records that are totally graded correct..just want them really cheap...never heard from him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Selling isn't going to be different for discogs than anyone else. I'm talking about a special kind of prick that actually searches through submissions he knows nothing about an nitpicks any irregularities he can dig up. For example, I collect Balzac. They have about 500 releases, here is my collection: http://music.geocities.jp/soaringmoon27/deeperblue.html So I listed all their stuff on Discogs and this attracts pricks who don't even know the band, but are really nasty with complaints. This one prick actually reported me to the staff, and yes, they contacted me. you say you are the owner, but I very much doubt this as you have done only submissions from this book afaict.

Sad Heart Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I pretty much stopped using Discogs entirely over the last year or so. Between brick and mortar, VC, and Amazon, I'm pretty much covered. Tired of dealing with Discogs, and their bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Woah Geocities! This is making me think I won't bother with it either. I just use it to look up stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Discogs is like any other club with a rule book in that they will always attract an anally retentive elite and Discogs has got a very big rule book Either ignore them or have a bit of sport with them, the really anally retentive can be made to detonate over very minuscule details and it can be quite a lot of fun, but just don't do it too often as the rules gestapo will get you.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have one entry that I created and nobody has gotten me yet. It's for an Amusement Parks On Fire - S/T TP that I wasn't sure of the number on. Still made the entry though so people know it's out there.

Shitty Rambo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 People bitch about the tiniest details on there, but that's their cross to bear. The only thing that really bothers me about Discogs is that people rarely leave seller feedback. In the last month I've sold maybe 6 records via Discogs and have received 0 seller feedback. It's obviously not effecting my ability to sell, but it'd be nice for them to mention how well I pack my records and how quickly I ship them out. Dammit.

I even have a canned message i send to people saying thanks for buying please leave feedback so i can do the same. Maybe get one or two more to do so but most dont care.

radiatorhums Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 For the most part, I've had good experiences with discogs. I don't have the time to add / edit as much as I used to, but I don't think I've ever had any issues regarding mine (save for the first couple that were just a learning experience). I'm pretty familiar with the rules and what not too, I'm guessing that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So many new people to vinyl that don't understand grading or the medium. One guy complained about slight surface noise on a vg+ played on his brand new Crosley cruiser. He could not comprehend. Fair share of that nonsense this year but I have over 600 transactions with only issues by people with zero feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I sell cheap used records on Discogs from collections I buy. I've sold over 5,000 records this year with only 2 dick bags that caused me no stress because of the stress they caused themselves. It was quite entertaining, actually. That and the sick profit I've made, totally worth dealing with noobs who rarely, if ever, complain. This is just a side hobby, too, so it's killer pocket cash. moonbeams and aflycon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummies like you who don't have the know how or cash to buy and sell are my greatest ally. I collect for free and make good money selling what I consider junk, you don't. Cheers!
