thrillho reacted to Derek™ in Q: Discogs Stats
Anyone else meticulous about updating their Discogs? I try to keep up on it and at least once a year I find myself skimming my collection for fun. Sometimes to check for items I’ve sold but hadn’t removed from the collection, sometimes to remedy items I accidentally added to my library instead of my want list – which has legitimately happened 3-4 time over the years – and then, of course, to see what the estimated running totals are. It can be both fun and dizzying to quantify the time and energy you’ve spent in The Hobby with those grand totals.
That being said, anyone else notice that these totals shift and sway over time? They don’t just increase; they most certainly dip. I’m 100% certain that albums have sold for $200+ a few years ago... and checking their sale history, today, reveals something like a $80 maximum sale. I don’t know enough about Discogs, but do stats get pruned within a rolling time window or something? It’s been a while since I last checked – and I don’t log the values or take screen shots or anything – but even after adding more to the collection, I recently found a $3,000 dip in the max value and thought that was interesting.
I’d understand if I was looking at just the medium. Because rare records previously sold for triple figures may someday go for dirt cheap, and lower the overall value significantly – per Discogs anyway – and that’s one thing. But I’m talking about sale history vanishing, and maximums shrinking.
I’m not in the resale game and I don’t get off on flashing my stats, nor am I watching my collection’s value like a ripening fruit waiting to be plucked. So please spare me the “muh value! Seriously dude, who gives a shit?” replies. I just know for certain that I’m not imagining these stats fluctuating, and I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered the same thing. Feel free to move this topic to Everyting Else if it needs to go there.

yeah, LCST has a couple bangers, but has mostly filler. SNTGMT is a fucking burner. just about every song is great. the final perfect reggie album.

to clarify for the detailed collectors - our "pale blue" is the same colour as polyvinyl's "light blue".
they're being pressed at the same time, the only difference we're only pressing /400 that will have dine alone labels, jackets, etc.

So. It seems like 2-4 more weeks until the next round for anyone that missed out.

thrillho reacted to jhulud in Looking for a sleeve, any help appreciated
Are you looking for a sleeve or a jacket for the record?
There is a difference between the two.

thrillho got a reaction from thesecrets0308 in The RSD Effect
I go to RSD most years. At first it was great, there was never any sort of line, you just had to be there within the first hour of the store opening. There were only about 3-4 releases I wanted, and the total number of RSD items was a fraction of what it is now. But over the next few RSDs, there were more and more people showing up.
Eventually I went and had to stand in line outside my favorite store (that never has more than 10 people in it on non-RSD days) then walk through the store in single-file and choose the items I wanted, cafeteria-style. That fucking sucked and it was the last time I went for a couple of years. Then, last year, I wanted an RSD release and managed to get the morning off of work. I went, and again, encountered a line - but this time for whatever reason I looked at it differently (read: like an old person), I knew that these kids were getting taken for a ride for the music they loved. And I think at some level they knew it too, but that's part of the trade of loving music in modern times.
You're going to get gouged for money in some way for the thing you love, whatever it may be, and that level of gouging is based on a person's perceived "love" for that thing. Before vinyl got out of hand, it was paying $25 for an 11 track CD or facing the total price of tickets before Ticketmaster was forced to adjust their fees. I paid them in my teens, and paid them happily - because the music meant that much to me. It will never be a perfect world, and there will never be a way to appease everyone when it comes to the relationship between art and money
I still go to RSD, and I stand in line with my friend, and we chat with people about what they're getting or what music they like. It's the atmosphere, it's being around people that enjoy the same thing that I've enjoyed for 12 years (other than porn). Thankfully, the single-file line rule is gone at my store and people can freely browse. I don't go for many RSD releases anymore, I go and pick up a bunch of used LPs - I can get like 10-15 records for $30. I guess I like the feeling of being in a record store that's full of people for a change.
