Helpful - thanks! Looks like the bottom of that page will solve my problem.
BTW, does anyone else do this? Print out their Discogs stuff (inventory, Collection, otherwise), I mean? My wife thinks I'm crazy. "Discogs isn't going anywhere," etc etc.

Ordering a record from abroad plus a bunch of cheap makeweight stuff to lower the postage cost per record and act as stiffeners, then getting an email to say they don't actually have a copy of the one thing you really wanted anymore, but don't worry, all the other garbage has already been packed up and despatched to you
― djp HOOS clouds (NickB), Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:29 (eight years ago) link
how much are the cheap makeweight ones and were they completely unhearable before you bought them?
― saer, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link
Only four or five things for a couple of quid each, stuff I know and like well enough, but hardly records I would have elected to have sent to me transcontinentally in their own right. Can't even remember what they are tbh
― djp HOOS clouds (NickB), Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:47 (eight years ago) link
Just an everyday tale of dumb luck really

In that case I always complain and make sure I get at least a very substantial refund.

the exchange rate for US dollars is as favorable as it has been for years, but man those int'l shipping fees add up.

Bear in mind, sometimes the lowest price is because it sold for £10 when first issued, and now it sold out and prices have shot up.

I saw some some expensive autographed LPs on the wall at Amoeba the other day and I don't understand the idea of selling something that's "autographed" without a certificate of authenticity.

I love all of those RRR anti-records conceptually, but I don't actually own any.... I do have multiple copies of the lock groove releases.

I own this record. Didn't realize it was going for so much.

semi related... has anyone bought collections or groupings of records before? If so how did you find them? I would love, say, to get a bunch of BOMP records, or a disco collection, or whatever, but most things you can find online seem to be a bunch of crap, horribly maintained, or both.
― skip, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 03:31 (eight years ago) link
A DJ in Seattle sold/consigned his collection to Silver Platters. There were so many they had their own section of the store. It was a gold mine for weeks. You can see who has the most records in your wantlist in Discogs. Can be useful and frustrating. There's a shop in Denmark that has 18 records I want and I only have 50 on my want list.

kinda funny typo halfway through
The site, once run from a computer in Mr. Lewandowski’s closet and originally restricted to electronic music, has grown rapidly. It now has 37 employees around the world, 20 million online visitors a month and three million registered users. It eventually opened to all genres of music and has a mission of cataloging every record in existence.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 December 2015 21:36 (eight years ago) link
oh wait, i thought that said 37 MILLION employees. kinda not funny misreading there by me

since i'm on a fucking ROLL in this thread i'll share the only other recent discogs anecdote that i have.
i don't have any of my records up for sale, but i do have them cataloged so that if my apartment ever burns down i can hopefully point the insurance company to the value estimates on my discogs page and then take the cool hard cash and move to a secret cave abutting countryside acres.
anyway, the other day i was surprised to receive a discogs message asking if i would be selling one of my records. it was for little wings' Wonderue, a record i would totally be willing to sell. i didn't realize it was kind of rare and fetches a decent price. unfortunately it's the ONE record i purchased new that i didn't take care of properly. in lol undergrad i was attempting to make some really, REALLY good art and used the Wonderue cover as a makeshift lap/table underneath a paper that i covered with black sharpie markings. when i finished my masterpiece i realized the sharpie bled through all over poor ol' wonderue. i had to tell the inquiring discogs buyer that i couldn't sell it to him due to lol college. no response from him for some reason!!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 29 December 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link
questions from would-be buyers are what made me change my collection to private viewing
― sleeve, Tuesday, 29 December 2015 22:08 (eight years ago) link
I've made hundreds selling records I never played and had no idea were valuable by having people ask me to sell on Discogs.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 30 December 2015 02:29 (eight years ago) link
I get ppl asking me if I want to buy a record on my want list that they're selling, but honestly they're so merry and polite I don't mind.
― lute bro (brimstead), Wednesday, 30 December 2015 02:49 (eight years ago) link
man I wish people would ask me about stuff on my want list!
xp have you never sorted yr collection by median value? very educational.

As someone who works in a record store? Great. I'll have every asshole on earth looking everything up and trying to lowball me for every piece of rare vinyl so he can flip it on Discogs.

Unlike every record store owner who checks Discogs to try to fleece their regulars by pricing at or near highest sold price. It's a two way street.
― brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 27 February 2016 01:04 (eight years ago) link
nah man, every store I've ever been in prices via the median sale value
I feel sorry for yr local stores if they are pricing on the high end there.
