discogs marketplace?

that URL is 100% a scam, it's absolutely radioactive

Yeah, going to check. Theres a number of red flags in the order. Has appeared on my orders timeline, but still want to check.

They're phishing you for personal or credit card info... it's likely that they either hacked that account or are simply using it as a Trojan horse by purchasing cheap items and then sending this message in conjunction with it.

Ok, going to delete it. It’s from Gabi Breuer too. Busy person.

that is a scam, I've had one, there are loads of them going round - just report it to Discogs support, they will cancel the order and ban the scam account, then you can relist the item

that's actually kind of clever lol

stuff like this is why I stopped selling on ebay and never sold on discogs. I just do IRL shows and a private FB group (btw somebody from here ilxmailed me abt that FB group, but I lost the email, if it was you please resend)

Has eBay seen an uptick in used vinyl traffic, given Discogs is in this state?

I would be using Discogs more if I had the patience to work out the postal quotes. That had to have chased off a lot of small-timers.

It definitely put me off for a long time, but back up and running now. I need to get rid of so much stuff

I'm more just trying to keep up a one-in/one-out kind of thing. I would not be able to get a record fair table even. I'll see if I can sort through the rates again one day soon. Canada Post just did some increases so that should be good for a few months....

All cancelled now. Been selling for a dozen years and first time this has happened. Suspect I won’t have to wait so long for next attempt.

damn! this place sounds scary.

xp

lol

just as weird is all the customers complaining that he didn't say hello to or acknowledge them when they entered the store.

one star = I didn't get my belly rubbed and I didn't get any treats.

i also don't like it when people leave the records facing forward like that in the racks but i don't say anything i just put them back right. its also why i try to have really full - but not overstuffed i want people to be able to look - shelves so that they don't do that. so many people on that Yelp says that he yelled at them for leaving the records like that. ha!

my brother had this father and son team helping him at his store during the day and whenever anyone left the records like that they immediately ran over and put them back right. it was like a comedy routine! i got a kick out of that. they had to of scared people a time or two. they waited until the customer moved one rack over and then they would pounce.

I fix forward leaning stacks when i’m in a store. What kind of monster leaves it like that?!?

lots of people!

people who use the word "vinyls"

Nearly fuckin everybody, judging by the available evidence.

Nearly fuckin everybody, judging by the available evidence.

Worth saying twice.

The practice definitely predates the vinyls expression, ppl been leaving records slouched forward for decades.
TIL that Scott S has a brother with a record shop
?

yah, he does. in hudson, new york. home of frank serpico and wreckless eric.

I've been there. I think I told him I knew you on the internet.

same!

I'm proud to say I've been to both shops. I missed the father and son act but did have a chat with Scott who encouraged me to post more. so, here ya go.

Wreckless Eric, alas, has moved back to the UK

I know that Scott will probably wipe the floor with us here, but what "famous" people (or at least people you've heard of before) have bought records from you on discogs?

For me so far...

Peanut Butter Wolf
Daniel "Billy" Bunter (uk hardcore/rave dj)
The guy who runs the My Analog Journal youtube account

pretty weak I know!

Mr Scruff

Plastic Crimewave bought a record from me once

more cool people in the store then online. i sold stuff for years on ebay and nobody well-known bought stuff. same with discogs mostly. other than henry rollins. but i think he buys from everyone eventually.

but in the store all kinds of cool cats. thurston obviously cuz he lived around here. marc ribot. terry adams. ian svenonious, the sassiest boy in america. penn gillette. mark robinson of unrest. michael hurley. most recently the beatnuts. even that guy from the mountain goats bought some records once. oh probably lots of people i'm forgetting.

i don't think dude from the pixies has come in? he lives near here. but its possible i just might not recognize him anymore. and lloyd cole lives nearby but i haven't seen him.

i do kinda live off the beaten path. Greenfield isn't exactly a tourist destination. it is nearby tourist destinations. like, you know, vermont.

sold some obscure electro to Aphex once on ebay, also some libraries to DJ QBert. this was like 20 years ago tho, hardly ever see libraries about these days.

J@mes Duval (known for a lot of Gregg Araki films and Independence Day) bought a Jazz Butcher CD from me on ebay. i thought it probably wasn't *that* particular JD, but actually --

iirc the communication w/him, that dude was EXTREMELY excited to get that CD

i've mentioned this before i think but one of my favorite customers for years was this guy who always wanted the weirdest records i had and he was always a treat to talk to. he knew about all kinds of cool stuff. i saw him at a friend's party one summer and then i went out front and i saw a car with a license plate that said ELFQST and i was like holy shit that is the coolest license and it turned out it was his and that he was one half of the duo that made my favorite sexy elf comic when i was a kid! i couldn't believe it. in the early 80s i actually had my dad take me all the way to a store in New Haven for an Elfquest signing. small world. i wasn't a real fantasy comic reader but i always loved her art and his writing and the elf cleavage. and they were totally DIY too until someone like Marvel licensed their stuff.

RICHARD PINI!!!

sold some obscure electro to Aphex once on ebay

how would you know though?

i sold some Tragically Hip cassettes to a Vincent Gallo.

Not on discogs but years ago I was cleaning house on some *R@RE 00P* japanese stuff that was collecting dust and the buyer asked where I lived and we started chatting and it turns out he lived around the corner from me so I ended up just dropping the records off at his house and after some chit-chat he casually mentions he is (or rather was, as this was a v. long time ago) the guitar tech for Sonic Youth and also Nils Cline/Wilco so he's always traveling around and seldom home. That was the only time I saw him and I lived in that neighborhood for a longggg time lol. Nevertheless he has some deep cut EYE 12"s, thanks m'bro!
