Anyone have any experience ordering from sellers on there?  Seems like there's a lot of good deals.

I've bought a couple records on there, it worked. It's like anything else, check out the feedback. I think there are some good punk deals on there too, most people on discogs don't really give a shit about anything other than computer/electronic music.

yea i've bought a bunch of records from there.  bought stuff from various techno records to the first art attacks 45 for 5 bucks.  check out the feedback of the sellers.  lots of good deals and lots of shitty ones too. 

better than gemm but i like a lot of electronic music

i think discogs is trying to find an identity in the post idm world. It has a really solid base of information on industrial records & tapes (specifically belgian and uk), and is getting stronger in "minimal synth." It has huge wholes in DIY/Indie Rock etc., and is just abysmal for anything older than say 1977. It does have it's uses though. My big complain is that it takes forever for new listings and changes to be approved, and most of the moderators seem overwhelmed.

i ordered a couple 7"s from overseas.  the packaging was really shit and both arrived warped.  seller refunded my money and we traded the same records for worlds lousy product.  they came not warped the second time around. 

success!

my friend makes a living out of selling on discogs. i'd say it's a legit process. i prefer it to ebay; you don't have to fuss and bother over those bidding wars.

[spermshivers]

I have quite a bit in the past, and never had any problems. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy in fact.

[gomerfile]

i've had only good experiences buying from here.

A++++++ GREAT SELLER WOULD BUY AGAIN

[Nice Up]

Never had any problems and there's definitely cool stuff to be found for cheap. A couple weeks ago I grabbed the 12" version of the 14 Iced Bears "Balloon Song" single for $3.

Can anyone explain the value of telling someone on Discogs that something they entered is wrong rather than just going in and changing it? Shit like, "Tracklisting should only be labeled A and B, not A1 and B1." It seems like the amount of time it takes telling someone to fix something takes longer than just fixing it.

Just curious.

Lovin the fuck outta some Discogs.
CLORTHO set sales have all been across the board success stories.

A+++++ would sell to again. a Credit to the 'Scogs community!!!!

I wonder about the people who tell you to change some tiny detail, whether they are admins who work for Discogs. I would only bother with records I personally cared about, then I would just change it myself. OR, if there was a record I was planning to list with wrong info...same deal. Change it myself. Self-interest.

[brocktune]

been sellin' there since i started up buying records wholesale late last year.  its pretty straight.  just like other sellers on termbo, i'd rather sell off of here to offer better pricing, but whatever i don't sell here, i throw up on discogs.

if you change it yourself, if at some point in the future someone gives it an incorrect vote, the vote will count against you.

i can tell you from experience, you don't want too many incorrect votes (it's something like 5), you will be put on probation without any posting/editing capabilities except on your own contributions. even if you fix stuff right away, you have to wait for months for someone to actually vote on your shit. it took about 8-9 months where i could literally not add anything. i posted a few times on the "request votes" forum thread, etc. etc. etc..

i guess they do it that way so some newbie can't go on a rampage changing and adding incorrect information, but there aren't enough people voting on stuff, it's a pretty frustrating experience. i know they encourage voters to stick within their genres of expertise, and some voters are scared to even vote on stuff because if someone else votes it incorrect in the future, the vote will count against the voter along with the contributor.
