Well if it was ebay and not discogs you might be grand. The discogs grading levels are quite different, and much more stringent.

I've found that useful a few times alright, but there's a bit of a caveat emptor...I've found some sellers off-discogs won't allow PayPal payment. This sets alarm bells ringing, the security of PayPal for small transactions is brilliant.

Zackly!

Be thankful for small mercies :)

Purchaser here - There was discussion on the forums about this a few years ago. There were differing opinions, but there were a few sellers who mentioned always leaving feedback directly after the purchaser had paid, as the purchaser's part of the bargain was done at that point. I've noticed...

Yeah, raise a service request. V productive. I did that with the tape listing I mentioned above, instantly felt better.

Re discounts: I've bought a few records which were quite expensive. I ALWAYS asked for a discount on these items, or some kind of deal on postage or whatever, or a rounding down of the final figure. And I got one every single time, whether or not it was a "make an offer" item. Sometimes it was...

Here's one for you seller types... I bought a tape last year for €15 which was from an edition limited to 50 copies. This was the "very last copy", and had no cover. So I buy it, and it gets delivered. Sound. But then a week after the sale the guy puts up the identical listing again, the tape...

The record arrived some time in the last couple of days, got it this morning. It's as bonkers as I had hoped, but much less good. No sign of any of the krautrock legends getting groovy at all. In fact it could be any reasonably decent bunch of studio heads. Completely anonymous. And there's a...

Ha! I did that too, inadvertently and sober recently. Normally I pay the instant I get the invoice, but the guy wanted payment away from Discogs, so I agreed, then paid two other invoices and forgot to pay his. 9 days go by, subconsciously I'm wondering where the bloody record is, and next thing...

Yeah! I've gone for it. Low-level freakin' out over here for the next month until it arrives. Over an album which is highly likely to be terrible :)

Thank youse dudes. I got some photos of the record last night, its graded "VG+", and it looks grand. It's not super rare, I think, just doesn't pop up for sale all that often. it's this: Hardy Hepp - Born In The Forest: buy LP at Discogs Has a couple of big Kraut names on it, in the service of...

Howdy, Another buying question: I've been looking recently at the websites for some of the better/busier sellers on Discogs, and in general it seems that the stuff they sell on their own websites tends to be cheaper than their Discogs listings. Do any of you do your research on Discogs, then...

Thanks everyone, lots of information there, much obliged for your brains and experience. @Lili Marlene that forum is fun, found this: Album "X" is Essentially a Secret Album by Artist "Y" | Steve Hoffman Music Forums @Unknown Convict I already own the Rother album, it was just an example...but...

Heya, thanks for that, Unknown Convict. I kinda do this already...it's not so much about the individual record, it's about which edition to go for. How to resolve something like this for instance: http://www.discogs.com/Michael-Rother-Sterntaler/master/52349 So, do you see the first two...

Does anyone have a quick rule of thumb when buying on discogs to help decide which version of a record to buy? I regularly get stuck looking at similarly priced, good quality, original versions of an album, which is then on several different labels / editions etc, with no idea how to make a...
