Just browsing around for 5 minutes and this site is gonna have to do some major work to appeal to anyone outside the record store day vinyls crowd wanting to hock some bullshit at bullshit prices.

Discogs serves a true function for nerds. A market place is basically two steps backwards if it doesn’t offer the amount of resources discogs does, and considering the obscene amount of work it’s contributors have done I don’t see anyone jumping ship without a major incentive. Most discogs people have been there for years as well, so there’s little incentive.....

tl,dr I didn’t spend weeks of my life cataloging thousands of kvlt records to use some other site.....

Interesting.. sorta... would be more interested if it was a site where you could trade those shitty useless fuzz pedal things for obscure goth and doom records or something :idk:

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what Reverb is thinking on this one.

To some extent they have a built-in customer base just by the fact that the site is linked to Reverb. That's maybe what they're banking on. More for a casual record buyer than Discogs? So, possibly not quite in direct competition with Discogs? :idk: Difficult to say right now.

"the original D v. R LP"

^I keep seeing "Devi Ever LP"
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.

Discogs' search function is by far the worst I've encountered.

Yes. searching for a single album and artist will yield 200+ results, a solid 1/3 of which are in no ways identifiably related.

I usually just search on Google and include the word "Discogs" in my search. :idk:

Or just look for rarer stuff?

I've never had a problem with discogs. I just look for the band then click through until I find what I want. My problem is that I get caught up in some random distro picking up interesting cheap records to "save" on shipping haha....gets really bad with Japanese punk.

Discogs people can be a bit snotty though. I don't sell on there, but some people I know have gotten complaints like "plastic factory seal (not case) is slightly oxidized"...of course it is, it's 20 years old and those kind of plastics are meant to be and we and are of varying quality of plastic.

Or, "didn't give feedback, so they are a bad seller".

I run into weird pressings there a lot...like the ones they have listed don't match what I've got or what I remember...I try to add and fix, but it rarely gets approved/looked at. It's a good system, just don't know if people really care about old weird comps put out by a record store and stuff (or demo tapes for bands that didn't really go anywhere).

Well yea, record collectors are among some of the snootiest cockwads I've ever had to deal with. I would love to sell most of my records but the last thing I want to deal with is people who collect records.
