Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Agreed. I like to help out people when I can, but I can't always sell something for lower than the market price, and I'm certainly not doing it if you're begging or being a dick about it.

GreatGreenOne77 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Dead fan here as well. No shame. I figured as much since you've seen Panic more than once and actually knew who I was talking about when I mentioned them lol I feel like a lot of people here feel they are entitled to deals, because the transaction is not going through ebay/discogs so there are not as many fees etc. People are also assholes, who just want cheap shit and hope you don't know any better. Selling on this site has gotten really shitty the past few years. Speaking of this T3, I want that Mono 10" you have. I will shoot you a pm when bills get caught up and get it from you, so please don't let go of it before then if you can?? Probably be the end of next week..

jhulud Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's getting harder and harder to sell record anywhere. Even for a fair "market value". As was said...people want a great deal and somehow expect and ask to pay for as little as possible. Not necessarily flipping records and gouging people, but c'mon...I'd like to make however much I paid for the record and maybe a little bit more. Especially if you're in a financial bind...as I currently am...and would love to maximize the selling prices but still not being a dick about it.

Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Everyone is always out for a deal, so they expect sellers to bend to make it happen. If 5 people are selling something for $50, I'll undersell by a bit, but I'm not dropping it $20 to appease the buyer or to make a sale.

Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 And that's fine it happens, but people should not expect it every time they try to buy on this site. It's also a dick move on their part to ignore you when you offered such a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Aside from hitting desperate times, desperate measures, I have already decided never to sell anything. If I stop listening to it, I'll just give it away. Shit looks like a major fucking headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It is and isn't. Discogs is fine, never had an issue there. This site is where most issues happen, hell I've had less issues on the shithole that is ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pretty much, and it gets annoying, but what can you do? I have like 15 records I've gotten free with orders through the years, that I have no clue what to do with. Not worth trying to sell them, since they are all like $3 records (which is why the distros/labels gave them away I assume). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I usually pack those in with something someone bought and throw some stickers/dl codes in for good measure. Haha, just a way to pass the burden on to someone else. I might start doing that though, since I'm running low on storage space and that would clear it up quite a bit.

himynameisShane Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Ticketmaster's site sucks and I didn't get pit tickets for FOB/PVRIS hoping I can grab some during Ticketmaster's resale if I can get a code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people have gotten so set in the mind state of comparative shopping and price matching and it has them thinking they get that standard everywhere in life..

soundofsilver Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can't deny it....I love metal and everything else under the sun, but The Dead hold the largest number of tracks on my drives I've been told I have 77 of the 90-some-odd albums by Frank Zappa. The Dead are probably next, in terms of volume also, found a pic from July during setbreak - 40k of the 80k stoners/hippies/peaceniks - sorry for the size @ghost - you would have had an amazing time, considering there are no Ghosts, without the Dead GreatGreenOne77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
