I actually enjoy horror movies on VHS...and dumb and dumber

On another note, is it enough to unlist and relist a record or do i have to delete the listing and put up a new one to bump it?

Hi
I'm guessing that there are a few members on here who sell records/CDs etc on Discogs, no? Well I do, I have a small inventory of about 80 records and I relist/bump those items most days, about 5 times a week. I want to sell these records so nothing wrong with that, right? I have some items in my wantlist that get sent to me everyday from the same seller (big stores with huge inventories) and it doesn't bother me.
Today I received a message from a user asking why I had to bump my inventory every day. He/she went out of his/her way to ask this. I mean, what the fucks it to you.
I was wondering and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this and how often Discogs sellers on VC bump their items?
Thanks for reading!

I do this reguarly. Half of my wantlist gets bumped daily by overseas sellers.
 
People need to find something else to do than complain about that
 
Respond back and tell them to buy your item, remove from wantlist and they will never see you again

I happened upon this on SSD today. Says it is in stock. Couldn't find info on it anywhere.

Stamps.com is just a intermediary for shipping. It's like shipping through paypal, where you still use USPS, you just go through stamps.com instead.

oh shit.
 
I was expecting something resembling bloody toilet paper.
 
This is much better, needless to say. I am PUMPED.

Haha I'm just kidding dude!

I think I would have a mental breakdown if I kept such a concise list.  I more than likely wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I kept a tally on the total amount spent on records over the years.  I prefer the 'blissfully ignorant' route. 

mine are mostly records with the most memories attached to the situations they were soundtracks to, as opposed to straight musical merit.

Rough Trade, the iconic London music retailer that spawned Rough Trade Records and served as a cradle for post-punk music in the late 1970s, will open its first flagship store in the U.S. in New York on Monday, November 25.
The store, a 15,000 square foot repurposed film prop warehouse in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, represents a major gamble on the American music market by the retailer, which in recent years has enjoyed a sales boom in the U.K. despite harsh industry realities in that country and around the word. In April, the British trade magazine Music Week named Rough Trade “Retail Brand of the Year.”
“New York and London are similar in many ways -- they're kaleidoscopic celebrations of global differences and similarities,” Rough Trade co-president Stephen Godfroy tells Billboard of expanding across the Atlantic. “They enjoy an open-mindedness, a deep respect for the past, a voracious appetite for the future, which all combines to produce a climate that suits our individual approach to music retail.”
The Williamsburg store was originally announced in April of 2012, with plans to open its doors at an unspecified date later that year. But what Godfroy describes as “numerous obstacles in the construction planning and building process” left those plans in limbo until now.
Rough Trade N.Y.C. will sell all new music -- no used -- in multiple formats in addition to serving as a “healthy-sized place to hang out” for music lovers. A portion of the space has been sectioned off as a performance venue for free in-stores as well as after-hours ticketed concerts booked by The Bowery Presents.
The store will join other live music venues in perpetually developing North Williamsburg, including Bowery’s Brooklyn Bowl, Output and the Williamsburg Waterfront and Williamsburg Park.
“The emphasis will be on music the art, not the commodity,” says Godfroy. “In that respect, it will be true to our London stores, places where music and culture lovers of all ages and taste congregate and celebrate what it means to be independent.”
Physical music retailers in the U.S. have endured a bitter decline in sales as consumers have shifted to digital consumption methods. In the past five years, sales at independent music retailers have fallen 36.1%, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while chain stores and mass merchant retailers like Wal-Mart and Best Buy saw even bigger dips of 71.6% and 51.7% over the same period, respectively. In New York just this year, independent retailers Bleecker Bob’s andSound Fix records closed their doors due to intractable profit margins.
There are signs that physical formats aren’t dead yet, however. Vinyl sales are so far up a whopping 31.9% just this year, according to SoundScan, continuing a hockey-stick growth phase for the format that dates back to the first Record Store Day in 2008.
In London, Rough Trade Retail Group, which operates independently from Rough Trade Records, has two stores, Rough Trade West and Rough Trade East. The latter, opened in 2007, is the larger of the two, but at 5,000 square feet is only one third the size of the New York store.
“This city demands something truly special, and hopefully that's what we can achieve in collaboration with the people that visit and go on to define the space over the months and years to come,” says Godfroy. “[The store is] a way of saying ‘thank you’ for the joy and inspiration NYC has given us with its music and culture.”

I'm a little jealous, as this store will likely be like Tower/HMV used to be back in the day....able to get UK imports pretty cheap.  I'd also not be surprised if they ended up sending items from UK RSD here to sell exclusively in their store.   Any items that are only released or made available in EU/UK will be another area where this store could really help out (going there to special order UK/EU items and saving on shipping costs for instance).  I guess with them opening on 11/25, they should partake in Black Friday RSD.  
 
 
 

i'm just trying to fill up my nerd box

Can't wait for this. Looks like each band does 1 original and 1 cover.

There are several Bromances of note in the 20-year history of the Chunksaah family, and 2012-13 marked the blossoming of the latest between THE BOUNCING SOULS and THE MENZINGERS. We played very many shows together and became great mutual admirers— this 7” comes along about 9 months later… go figure…

Looks like Chunksaah is also re-issueing their 1st two albums on vinyl, but no word on pre-order dates for any of these.

Excited for all 3 records. I know some people hate boxsets but if Bouncing Souls did one I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Ah well I'm sure I can buy one on ebay for infinity monies.

I've got an extra Maniac on white if anyone is interested. Downside is it has a seam split on the top edge, but if you've got an extra jacket or you don't care, give me a shout. 

If we are playing wishlist, I'd like to see Phantom City Creative get another crack at something myself. Maybe not the strongest straight illustration on the roster but I think some of the best composition and design. 

Surely someone will distro in USofA, no? Shipping within UK is £10 ($16) for this. Fuckin insane shit right there.

Don't have the comics yet apart from the Vol.1 hardcover. There's still time though, should have them by the time vol.6 releases next summer.
