The State Of Discogs 2018

Hello I see gripes and concerns about the bigger chains eating up the smaller shops and as a buyer I will go with the cheaper and larger chains to buy music “But” on the rare Heavy Metal stuff all media I collect is carefully fittered and researched and surprising you can get a lot overseas I am in Ohio so being said to the USA sellers quit trying to gouge customers with high prices and stop trying to make more than fair profits on shipping, I have been on here for a long time and have a massive collection and many items have been bought thru here and EBay which most of the time I can get better prices! I also sell privately and don’t rip anyone on shipping if your going to sell then you know you have to have good supplies unless your like a lot of sellers and use reused vinyl mailers and no slipsheets or protection! That’s a whole statement on its own and that’s why I won’t buy for some of the wanna be sellers if your going to ship something do it right! Our brutal postal services don’t care so you as sellers need to know that vinyl should be sent professionally packaged!!! Anyway I also collect Cassettes and your graph showing and increase is actuall huge due to buying from other sites and distros Cassettes have surpassed vinyl in the past months and still climbing and prices are thru the roof! Soon CD’s will start coming back strong and cassettes will start will start declining due to price gouging! Thanks Keith
