I’ve just paid for a disc from America via discogs. On checkout I was automatically charged uk vat. Sometimes buying from the uk can be cheaper and vice versa. With this new vat charge is it worth the hassle of buying from America?

    My experience from selling when I had the outlet in Manchester and selling online is that if the record is the right price then there wouldn't be 10 copies to compare !  They'd be gone.

But not too many Mel Britts or Bobby Klines there... Most of the records won’t sell as the demand is not there. A million records isn’t much when you consider the top ten in the charts sold millions in the 60’s and 70’s. Even the top top Motown sounds barely sell unless they in demand by the Northern fraternity. The sounds we want are buried in the States and more likely to appear on eBay if they are rare, valuable or in demand. Discogs is handy for obscure, cheap unknown sounds, but how any of these actually turn up regularly?

Bobby Kline copy turned up on Discogs today Frankie, not in the best nick for the asking price...
