[dominic]

selling off some of my records, including some breakbeat hardcore that may be hard to find stateside . . . .

i've also belatedly discovered the 'sell' feature on discogs and have a few items up for sale (ragga jungle, italo disco, minimal synth, anarcho-punk, gabber, wonky experimental things, grime, etc...)

Bloody hell, is that Xex LP really worth £100?

 

[bunnnnnn]

probably not! just trying my luck!

I'm surprised about that Fashion 12" dominic has. Think I've let that one go a number of times, I suppose it's easier to find in the UK.

I wonder is the album in demand at all? I only really like the end bit of Citinite.

i've no idea if it's worth anything or not -- i simply set my price based on what the other sellers had it listed at . . . .

european sellers have it at 50 to 65 euros, so i listed it for $50 -- i.e., half the price they're asking -- though of course shipping is another variable, i.e., are most potential buyers in europe or america? who knows . . . .

b/c the market on discogs is fairly new, there's really no way to gauge supply/demand with any accuracy

not even ebay is that reliable a market, b/c if you luck upon an item during the right 7-day period, you get a really good deal -- but on other weeks, you might pay a fool's rate

(((obviously any record that i really seriously rate, i'd never sell -- i.e., i'm not a professional dealer, therefore any record i have listed i've tacitly admitted is not worth having . . . . but of course the hope is that one man's misery is another's luxury, or however the expression goes)))

Yes, this is a beautiful thing.

Have you tried the Market Price History thing on discogs? Shows sale prices for the last 60 days or longer if you pay a subscription fee.

Record by near-unknown producer sells for $41,000 to become most expensive on Discogs

Producer Scaramanga Silk, who earns nothing from sale to anonymous bidder, is baffled: ‘I do not believe that any record is worthy of such a valuation’

It’s good that the launderettes are still open in lockdown.

 

[IdleRich]

it sounds a little bit that way doesn't it? I mean, I guess the fact that they are reporting it means that discogs verified the payment and it's not just a joke... if it's not a joke and it really happened, then, what other explanation can there be?

i've been meaning to do it for ages and am "between projects" so getting stuck into it.

insights so far:

- krautrock did well.
- old skool hip hop worthless (apart from beat bop).
- a pox on bootlegs but also the righteous attitude of discogs to them.

i was thinking of making a list of all the books in the house thinking maybe it might shame me into actually reading some of them.

 

[john eden]

3299 things in my discogs collection but I haven't organised it on there or anything. It's pretty good for helping me remember what I have.

 

[john eden]

I gave up selling things online when COVID hit and am not sure I can be arsed starting again.

yeah goodreads is good for that. discogs briefly had something called (unpromisingly) bookogs but they pulled the plug on that and a whole variety of them including gearogs (for secondhand synths etc)

that's a mighty amount john.

did you have to make any new entries? i think it's pretty astonishing that so far EVERYTHING has been in there - and the time and effort it takes to make these entries - listing the engineer and the tea boy and the matrix numbers and the... etc... it's a truly remarkable labour of love. i don't think the people who own discogs can possibly have a proper appreciation of the immensity of that database. by rights it shouldn't be owned by anyone...

in theory it's quite reassuring having a list - if the house burns down, the argument goes, then one has a record of what one actually owned.

selling must be annoying. dealing with people whingeing about whether something is VG or G+

 

[IdleRich]

Is it insured though?
