What year is this lol

FUCK OFF, go complain that your media mail is 8 $ 

Nope.

Today's variants were $50 at Smartpunk while the fest one that went up last week was $45.

Welp Fowty Dollaz is Fowty Dollaz.  Or in this case Two Hundred and Seventy Five Dollaz!
I hope you at least got free shipping?

$50 is so offensive. 

The good old out of stock back in stock fomo tactic :)

All jokes aside...................
 
Discogs for the most part is OK.  Many years ago it used to be the alternative to ebay.  They had much lower prices and a lot less scammers.  All of that has definitely changed. There are a ton of scammers on Discogs especially during RSD. 
 
Old accounts have also been hacked over there so if you want something make sure they have some recent feedback. 
 
Over the past few years I have had more problems with discogs then all of my time on ebay combined. Bad grading and wrong colors happen a lot.  Be wary of "sealed" records especially if you are looking for a specific variant.
 
Also, what some people have said it all depends on what you listen to.  Check record labels and get on their mailing lists.  Also check out bandcamp.  That is a great place.  Bullmoose and Zia are also good.

Hey folks, I wanted to raise some awareness about a Discogs scam that almost got me.
 
Earlier this week I was about to buy the Bad Religion box set from a seller on Discogs who looked legit. Almost 300 items sold, high percentage of positive feedback, and appeared to be located in the UK. Price was below average but not so amazing that it was too good to believe. Figured the guy was just looking for a quick sale.
 
DM'd the guy with a few questions about condition and shipping and he got back to me quickly.  In hindsight, I should have asked for pictures too.
 
Anyway, I put my order through and go to pay.  I get an error. I try again and again over the course of an hour then I get a message from the seller saying "hey, is something wrong with the order?". I told him I was having issues with the Discogs payment at checkout and he gives me an email address to send payment direct via PayPal.
 
Not proud of myself but I almost did it. I actually tried to send the payment through but thank fuck it was flagged by PayPal security as a high dollar value international transfer and didn't go through. I go into PayPal's support chat to figure out what's up. Meanwhile I keep getting messages from the Discogs guy asking where the payment is.
 
PayPal confirmed that they flagged the transfer and asked me to confirm I wanted to send the money.  At the time I said yes and they said I was now clear to send at my discretion. This is when it dawned on me that there was no option to send the money Goods and Services - only Friends and Family. Red flag goes up and I messaged the Discogs dude that I am not going to send almost $900 CAD as Friends and Family - we need to figure something else out.
 
I wake up the next morning and my order is cancelled. Discogs guy is no longer responding to my messages.
 
At first I'm bummed that I missed a good deal and I'm mad that the Discogs checkout screwed me over. Then I think about it a little more and start Googling the same type of scenario. 
 
I'm pretty sure it's this scam:

People's accounts are being hacked, items are posted for sale, their payment settings deliberately disabled, and then the scammer messages for a Friends and Family PayPal transfer. The other reason I think this is what happened to me is because PayPal customer support told me the guy's name tied to the PayPal account. I googled it afterwards and it's a Ukrainian name.
 
So now I think I dodged an expensive bullet but wanted to share my near miss with others.
 
Be smart about paying for stuff and maybe change your Discogs password. Stay safe out there.
 

Have you ever tried to open one of those things?  I hear they are dangerous!  I just keep mine sealed.

Wait… you guys open your records?!

I don't know it/l but will assume it beats the millionth stupid indie game OST or boring orchestral release from some triple AAA cutscene fest.
