Dominic_ Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 VAT is only for euro countries importing stuff, it does not affect us here in the states.Alright, thanks. Finally be getting myself a copy of Scream Bloody Gore, just have to wait for my birthday though :/Any issues with shipping from Greece? I see people say that they won't ship to Italy sometimes, but I don't know why. Is Greece cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Selling on VC advice needed: So if I price something lower than the lowest on discogs, is that acceptable? Should I scour ebay as well to compare? I don't want to piss anyone off, but can't sell these at cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Italy's postal service is not know for doing anything correctly, so most people avoid shipping there due to damage, wait times and missing packages. Greece I'm not sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I scour ebay as well to compare? I don't want to piss anyone off, but can't sell these at cost. I usually use discogs to base my prices on, so you should be good. I almost check the recently sold too, just to make sure someone isn't overcharging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I scour ebay as well to compare? I don't want to piss anyone off, but can't sell these at cost. I usually start at a higher number, and lower it over a couple days until someone bites. If I didn't buy the item with the express intent to flip it I don't feel making a few dollars on an apprecieating asset towards another album I want.

I bought an extra copy of each cuz it's my favorite band & if it somehow gets destroyed down the road, I have a back-up. I'm weird, I have back-ups of movies, records, etc...

Greece I'm not sure of. Makes sense I guess. So I shouldn't buy from there either? Good to know. Anyone else know about Greece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Nothing wrong with back-ups. I back up all my important digital data, why not my physical stuff too (money issue usually)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarzioo_ Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 A Lenovo something something something w/ 6GB, 1TB, i5. I told the lady @ Best Buy I needed something predominately for writing & streaming. She told me to go between a Lenovo or an Asus. I know nothing about this shit. Ooooh shit. And it was a Lenovo too !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with the Discogs average. Sometimes if it doesn't move often it doesn't accurately reflect the going price. For example, my green 2LP Alkaline Trio Good Mourning has a discogs average of $18. Might be worth a dollar or two more than that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarzioo_ Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 That's one brand I'd probably never buy. I hate Dell. We are on the same page today !! Fuck Dell. I had a dell once and I will never go back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I'm careful with my records so I can't imagine ever needing my backup. That said, I totally don't mind when someone buys, oh, I don't know, Cannibal Corpse backups and selling them to me at sexy prices down the road.

For example, my green 2LP Alkaline Trio Good Mourning has a discogs average of $18. Might be worth a dollar or two more than that... Hmmmmmm, interesting. Lowest on discogs for 1 of the potential sells is $110; lowest on ebay in last 3 months was $167. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never ordered from there, but after having been there recently and knowing Greeks (I married a Greek), they do not recognize time in the way that you pr I do. You might get the record in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the item?That Alkaline Trio is pissing me off because I can't find a sold listing for it on eBay or Discogs from any time recently. Really wonder what it actually goes for, but I can't imagine I didn't do well snagging it at $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Greece and Italy are the worst. The seller has good feedback and the item's priced fair. It'll cost me about $55 tracked and insured. If anything is broken I should be able to get money back from PP, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
