Joesoap Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Been having a bit of trouble with sellers on Discogs, of late. Usually where I've found something a bit cheap and /or good but relatively unknown and then the seller tells me its out of stock (later re-listing for higher price), or starts quibbling about / revising their description of condition or simply takes the money and doesn't send the record or respond to messages. Had a glut of this over the last month or so and it's a pain in the arse. So was just wondering if I have just been unfortunate or whether others have experienced an increase in flaky business from sellers? (PS. One cheapo with an amazing, unknown b-side, I've tried to buy 4 times and there's always some excuse once I order it why it isn't available!)

Most sellers I have come across are "Head and Shoulders" (other hair treatments are available) good sellers There is a forum on Discogs for these issues and I suggest you make your comments to that forum, rather than this one, or report your problem as I have found it really useful, if you buy a faulty car from Ford it's no good complaining to Vauxhall Edited September 5, 2019 by Blackpoolsoul 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Just read the sellers feedback. You usually get a good indication from that if they grade properly. I haven’t had one problem with any seller and I have bought quite a bit through there. One of the best places to buy, especially LPs.
