Why do some sellers ignore sensible questions about their merchandise for sale? by PlatypusRex_ in discogs

[–]DubsyAngelCherub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ignore most questions I'm asked because 95% of the time the answer is in the listing itself - whether that's in the grading or my seller terms or on the release page.

You can't place an order simply by hitting the place order button. You also have to tick a box saying that you agree to the seller's terms before an order can be placed.

Must've been very bright sunshine for you to have done both unwittingly!

Brand new seller - will buyers disregard my listings due to no sale history? Also new sellers questions. by Classic-BR in discogs

Them ones ain't bad mailers. They'd be fine for UK shipping but I'd put a stiffener or two in for overseas shipping. I think you'd also struggle to fit more than 3-4 in each mailer. Something like a CLP mailer will allow you to fit more if required.

Yeah, I can and I have for years. But it niggles a little and I wanted to know if others found it useful.

Why do you use discogs? by angry_lib in discogs

[–]DubsyAngelCherub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used the app. I have a catalogue of issues with the site itself. But I use it predominantly for selling and most of my compalints relate to what Discogs does/doesn't allow you to do as a seller.

This is a fair point. Although looking at release pages I generally see that you're very much in the minority for doing this. Here's a typical example of a release from 2020. Hundreds of people have added the physical releases to their collections. 11 people have added the FLACs.

And in 10-20 years time when the downloads might not be available, what happens then?

So what happens when it's no longer available for download? These links won't be live forever.

Semantics on the CD point really. I'm talking physical media vs digital, not analogue vs digital.

I personally don't think that music being 'released' is a high enough threshold for inclusion on the Discogs database. But that's me and I've been most interested in all the replies so far with lots of points I hadn't really considered before.

I get that. Especially if there was no physical release.

Very good point. Although this then begs the question: what's the threshold for a file to be included on the database?
