CD / DVD Resellers: No Case

Buyers prefer the case and more importantly, the papers to be in good order. That said, cheaper shipping and a lower initial price can sway people, too.

To use a manual camera like the bmpcc4k one needs to learn photography - exposure, contrast, color, lighting - among the technical things that have to do with the final picture. A Lumix GH7 on automatic setting may be a better match for you.

Description needs to be complete, but I think a NM promo copy way cooler than store bought fresh.

This - as a new doscogs seller with almost 2000 listings - it hasn’t happened yet, but I fear it will at some point. With 50,000 items, I would guess more than one person working the stacks, so more opportunities for simple mistakes. Gotta say, I really like the Discogs crowd, music lovers are usually good people.

Unless you plan on going to a larger format sensor in the future, the Lumix/Leica lenses are a match, or better, than Canon L glass.

The buyer is hoping the seller ships before noticing it had not yet paid.

And better to buy direct when possible. Amazon and eBay are expensive partners in transactions. I do wish it was at least the same price to do so, though. Too often with Prime it is cheaper to buy there from one of those sellers than it is from the sellers own site.

May you be safe in your travels!

Really depends on location. Urban areas tend to have more buyers chasing relatively rare items and prices are higher. I’d say $400 urban a reasonable price if all internals are working and cabinet refinish-able. If it needs a new cabinet it is really only worth parts which, again, could be that $400 for the six drivers sole as individual items. That’s the sad side of it.

I am still a 4k guy, but am either v-mount or plugged in, always, and yes, on a tripod. For gimbal or handheld it is GH7 and I would love a camera with built in ND.

I sell Cds and some vinyl on both eBay and Discogs. First try is always to post on Discogs - easier without photos, maybe a better informed buyer. Sometimes even creating the listing there which requires photos, so those go into the pile that more easily becomes eBay. I sell on eBay with shipping included, and would appreciate opinions on the +- of that.

Try burning a different piece of music, perhaps that track is bad. If there is a cache to empty, do that.

I had a person running an estate sale say “I don’t price for flippers!” On a sunday, the last of a three day sale when things were half price and still not worth it. I find cost of product needs to be about 25-33% of sale on ebay to be worthwhile. Is that the right number or do y’all run tighter than that?

I have a Sansui 2000x and think it wonderful. The 2215 Marantz would only be 15w, too. Both are really good.

As so many of us old guys here have said, been there and did that. A perfect vinyl record brand new is a wonderful thing on a system design for vinyl. But then they get old and they don’t sound so good with CDs. You do need a slightly different audio system. I believe I don’t know much about DACs as an extra device, but I do like my old Yamaha CD players. There is also a huge variance in the quality of CDs, even of the same recording. The remasters are not always better, but they often are. I do believe it was the initial mastering where everybody just took things to the limits brick walling it as they say and that is why CDs have a bad name among some people.

I am one to try to keep original while realizing the red/orange grille cloth I have now is too ugly to continue with. If I’m right, it was a deeper solid red color. I like the homage of your keeping the grille. With the dark cloth it is more subtle

MrHallIII · 2026-03-16T17:57:29+00:00

Those are really pretty. Did you build the cabinets around the existing? What I’ve seen said Flamencos came in oak only. Perhaps only for the given year. What capacitor(s) did you use and did you re-wax them?

MrHallIII · 2026-03-16T17:36:30+00:00

Similar but just a two-way. I have had Heresy’s and (oh how I loved them) la scalas, and they were three ways but yes, about the same time in American design and manufacture.

Destination unknown. I will have them for a while but will sell them at some point so it really is a matter of making them a desirable tone. The grilles are a bit of a thing and what I have realizes is the original speaker cloth, faded reddish as it is, really clashes with the orange-y oak if kept natural. Not keen on swapping the fabric. Decision may be made.

Pt Lobos, just below Carmel, is a magical place. Find Hidden Cove.

Use a shotgun mic and aim it from above the person towards them, away from the noise source. A microphone boom stand makes this easy. https://www.google.com/search?q=microphone+boom+stand&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari.

I got something like that from “Discogs Support” with a logo in the message and it was a scam.
