wow they have grading!!!!

its like another world...

Has anyone used the term "freak folk" since 2006?

i totally have. usually using air quotes though.

Sea Shanties???

they got rid of northern soul as an r&b option which is weird because that's what everyone uses for any r&b record no matter what it is. and i was just gonna use it for this barbara lewis record i'm putting up. had to settle for "soul".

they don't have vg- as a grading option.

where the FUCK is spiritual jazz

Q: is the LP wet on the pics? Does she have audible scratches? No toc-toc- ...!?? Regards, Bodo
A: ha! no, it isn't wet. that would be silly to take a picture of a wet record. and no she doesn't have any audible scratches. and definitely no toc-toc.

My record has 10 watchers! is that decent for being up one day? Selling records is nerve wreaking!!

for one day that's good!

I just notice that my listings say I do not accept returns. Ebay won't let me change this is revisions for the listings. Should I write in the description that I accept returns within 14 days or just let them be?

yeah, if u can change the listings, do it!

i dont think thats gonna stop many ppl from bidding though tbh

i've only ever had one return, a rare oop look copy of a gentle waves LP that was in merely "ok" shape. dude returned it and it was destroyed en route. he didn't pack it well. mfer.

Ebay won't let you change your return policy on the listing, but I was thinking I would write in the description that I accept returns. Why wouldn't ebay let you change it?

it probably has something to do with people changing it the other way around i imagine?

yeah that makes perfect sense.

Still no bids on Sweet Inspirations, a little nervous. It was been viewed almost 200 times, but only has 9 watchers, down from 10. The rest of my records have been viewed 10 or 15 times, so that's something...

i bid on the sweet inspirations.

;)

HA! I was just telling Tera I think my friend Ian bid on the record!

<3

What really surprises me is how many people are watching A Train the jazzy AOR record. 41 views and 18 watchers. Both bids are from Japan.

i was v surprised when that didnt go fast (or at all) in your waxi sale

Me too, I thought 70 was a great markdown.

That was fun!! Thanks Ian!!

I didn't come close to the previous sale, but I'm not complaining!

not bad at all!

It's looking like europe and japan are getting all of the records I'm selling. I'm awful at figuring out international shipping.

it's gotten pretty expensive. send first class intl not prioty, unless they want tracking, cuz sometimes intl packages are hard to track.
the japanese have been buying all our good records for so long. they are so refined in their taste. 10 yrs head of the curve

definitely get tracking. and insurance. you gotta cover your butt. i charge 15 bucks flat worldwide but if a record sells for over a hundred i pay the extra shipping to send it priority with tracking. which is like an extra 15 bucks usually. i don't mind paying the extra money cuz the last thing you want is have someone say they didn't get a $$$ record. because there is nothing you can do about it and ebay/paypal will just take the price of the record from you. you have no rights in that case.

yeah, i mean, if yer sending a hundred dollar record it makes sense. i am not abt to pay $15 extra for something that only sold for $25 tho. ya know whattamean? there goes all the profit.

no i never do that. but i've learned the hard way to send pricy shit securely.

ebay does not do anything to help the seller. My dad has been stuck a couple of times selling internationally, but fortunately not for anything too expensive.

you can always ask someone: look would you pay an extra 15 bucks or whatever to make sure it gets there? some will. if they don't want to, then you'd better do it yourself. discogs is good for that. you can negotiate with people and ask them what they want to pay for before they send you money.

tired of discogs

everyone watch it and tell your rich hippie friends plz

least favorite thing:
getting outbid notice in the email after getting you did not win notice.

today's victim: a scarce-but-not-expensive nicholson's players 78.

really hope this phish record gets a couple more bidz

14 bids is a lot of bids!! I'm sure it will.
