I believe i won a few this way, and mine bid came later. Probably has to do with a sniper thing, as as with regular bid it wouldn't allow you to bid under bid increments.

Second bidder placed the exact same bid as the winner, 6 seconds before the end. Just a single cent would do the difference and it would have been his. That's why you should always place bids with .01 at the end.

Just had unpleasant experience on discogs, resulting in my first negative. Would like to share it and see if i'm maybe missing something. Well my thoughts are that i encountered a real muppet... could be wrong though So guy buys this one: https://www.discogs.com/Chain-Reaction-Dance-Freak/release/3055439 it was 15$ I put it in a box, we're in touch, i proceed with looking at this wantlist - some i know, some i don't. I have a few and offered him a good deal. I took time to rip some tunes, and communication was good and he was thankfull. Eventually he buys 4 more records (5 in total), i just added them (they didn't go through discogs) and add an extra ammount through shipping charge. Total was something like 170$, but i was really fair with prices and gave him a nice discount. He was a bit slow, but it was Christmas etc. + i'm not fuzzy about that. Records sent morning after i received payment.. slow delivery as it was NY and everything was slow. He get's them, all is cool except that he didn't wanted the release he actually bought. Only then it crossed my mind that i made the same mistake years ago - bought the same thing thinking it will have the version as on Sound Of New York, but it didn't. When i got it i was like "damn! wrong tune". But i wasn't moaning and it was my mistake all the way, nothing to do with the seller. So this guy now want's a refund. I explain that he got what he ordered, and that there's not much in it - return shipping (from Canada) will be almost the same as a refund, so he should probably stick it for sale and it will sell at one point. Told him to look it from the bright side, as if he didn't ordered it we wouldn't proceed with the rest of the deal. He then goes how i'm all about money, i've sent him the wrong record and don't want to refund him etc. ... pisses me off so we had some talks, me telling him that he should know what he was buying. I agree that he sends it back for a refund, but guy now want's a refund without sending it back because "i still came out on top". He made a mistake, and he addmits, but it was my fault as i didn't warned him. Jesus! Like i know what people want. I sad that i don't know of any occasion when buyer gets a refund without sending it back, unless it's sellers fault (wrong description, condition etc.). It goes on and on, i try to fix it and tell him that he can either return it and get a refund, or i can give him some extra discount on future deals (as he said he would buy more from me). He then says that he doesn't want to return it as it would probably go missing, and that he will just leave me a negative... which he does: "Sent wrong record. Refused refund. Slow shipping. Poorly packaged. Discouraged a return stating "it will cost you the same to send it back". Buyers beware! Worst seller I've dealt with on any online portal, including eBay, GEMM, and others." So now it was slow shipping and bad packaging. I leave negative for him on which he comment: "Sends me 5 45's in ONE small damaged packet, AND the wrong record! Joke" So "ONE" with capitol letters, pointing out - what? That i should have sent 5 45's in at least 2 mailers?! Any thoughts?

Aha. Thanks for the advices people and happy New Year!

I was examining record even more, and realised that that slight warp i mentioned is actually a place where the problem is. We call that a "dish" right? That's a edge warp? I have some, with a more prominent warp, but none of them is behaving like this. They usually make needle to wave, but this one is shaking, so grooves must be disturbed. so... procentage wise people?

Thanks. I think that i would keep it, for dj-ing, but before i start negotiating i thought that someone could tell how much this objectively decrease a value % wise. Some seller might be ok with 50% refund, someone wouldn't give 10%... that's all subjective. I thought i could call on some objective parameter.

Record is already bought and is with me now, if that what you are asking Nev? It's no major rarity, it was just below 200 pounds mark.. it could probably go back, though i'm thinking of keeping it, so we are discussing a partial refund. That's why i asked, procentage wise - how much this decrease the value. How much should be ok to ask? Warp is very very light, i wouldn't notice it if there wasn't a groove problem. Main side plays ok, and in future i should just put slightly more weight on it, to secure that it doesn't skip. ... and yes - if i've known these things, i definitely wouldn't pay this much.

It's probably best to ask you people, as you have much more experience than i do. So... i bought a record recently, it was described as EX. Visually it is... though the flip has some marks. Fair grading if you ask me. The problem occured when i dropped the needle on it. I immediately saw that needle is... how to say... well, shaking, on one area. Probably on first 10 rotations, it looks like it's almost going to skip, but it doesn't. It has slightest warp, but i don't think it's that. So "the side" plays very well, and it looks visually EX, but at the begining needle almost skips. I use Shure White Label needles, tracking at 2 grams. The flip side, which is also important but not as much as "the side", looks something like EX- and it doesn't play nice. A bit of noise, some crackles and pops. It has the same problem which i mentioned, but on this side, with 2 grams tracking, needle skips. I have no idea what is the problem, what kind of damage is it, as i can't tell visually, but i've described the symptoms. So how much does this devalue a record (% wise) which was described as EX. If i'm to sell it one day, i can't go with that grade, obviously. Btw, seller seems like a fair guy, communication is good, and he admitted that he didn't check the other side. Just trying to find the best solution, and he agreed that i ask this question.

Looking for this 7" I can also trade my 12" promo for it and add few bucks over the top.

I have 12" promo on Profile, would like a 7" on same label. I could add a few bucks also...
