It's nice having 5 days to see if you'll get a better offer. They don't HAVE to reduce that time I think 5 days to accept, 1 day to pay is fair. Maybe I'm biased.

Shelby Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Just now, mike said: Man, if your item has enough interest to get multiple offers coming in just set it to the price you want. If that's the reasoning they SHOULD reduce the time on offers. Haha... Man, if I list an item and someone throws up an offer within 5 minutes I'm leaving it up longer. So yeah the first thing you came up with isn't the only scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno I just think it's fair to have to wait 4 or 5 days to get a payment if I took 4 or 5 days to accept haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Triple post but I had something listed for $900. I got an offer for $250 right away which I actually thought about accepting because the item had never sold before and I don't know the actual worth. I sat on it for 3 days and on the 4th someone offered $450. I get y'all are mad but leave my offer system alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Sure, that's the very rare exception. I got the vibe you were saying you sit on any offer for 5 days (meaning for normal records with generally knowable values). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It happens all the time when you list an item that has 0 copies for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I dont have a problem with the payment window on accepted offers because most people pay same day within being accepted. I do have a problem when they purchase it now and don't pay. No other place allows that nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I don’t, and I’ve been on here for over a decade. We even have a sub-board that facilitates the sale of records. Just in case it needs to be said, selling records ≠ flipping records. The latter of which has had (and still has) a pretty negative stigma around these parts. stl_ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 They are brilliant. Now they are sending emails out advertising a new tool that will let you adjust the price of your inventory easily by a flat percentage. So they raise their fees, and then actually push sellers to raise their prices so they can make even more money on top of their % bump.

skycriesmary Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Between this and having to pay tax on anything over $600 per year, it looks like I'll be selling just under $600 per year for the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard about it being reinstated this year, and was under the impression it was still up for review and potential revisions.

I thought that they just officially delayed it until next year and people along with companies like ebay/paypal/venmo are just hoping that they can get congress to raise that limit before then.

AFAIK, it's in effect for this year. Last year was suspended. Hopefully it's suspended this year too, but from what I understand they're going to enforce it next year for the 2023 year. Such a joke to go from 20k to $600. Typical bureaucracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is what I understood as well. Last year was suspended. But it is in effect this year. So next year, anything after $600 would be taxed. Sux coz I think I'm already at about 2k.

I only sell to either free up space or buy new records. I never really looked at selling as a business. I'm sure this has been brought up a few times, but it's a good idea to log your purchases/keep receipts. You can claim the price you paid for the record you sell as a business expense. It helps bring down the income taxed owed for selling online. I used to have a custom field in my Discogs collection to track purchase costs, but I've since switched to a simple excel file. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes chef Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Might as well just get back on Reddit for selling at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have shared that the thought is taxes compounded with Discogs fee increase is what makes Reddit seem better at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Somewhat off-subject, but while we're complaining about Discogs ... I'm sure many of you have noticed an uptick in scammers on the platform in recent months. Looks like tonight the madness has reached new heights. Over the last hour or so, two scammer accounts have created more than 900k fake listings and counting, i.e. these two accounts have more than 1.2% of all active Discogs listings between them. And yes, they are very obviously scammers to any frequent user on the site, but I guess the idea is to rely on volume to generate as many payments from newbie buyers as possible between now and whenever Discogs gets around to taking them down, which in some recent cases has been a painfully slow process. What a mess. hallowken78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'm pretty sure these scammers are hacking old user accounts to seem more legit. The user profiles look years old and suddenly they start listing 100s of items. Stay smart everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
