Discogs 12+

I’m sorry my father is not here to see this. He was a real old-time, DJ, whose spun live records next to Alan Freed in Cleveland Ohio in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll back in the early 50s. There was no way to know back then that today these vinyl records would be collectibles.
Fortunately, I kept most of my records from the late 60s and early 70s and now I have a wonderful way to do an inventory. It’s been a lot of fun and I look forward to adding more to my collection now because it makes it a lot easier to search for those records that are hard to find.
Back in 1980 I lost 150 vinyl albums to a flash flood that came through the townhouse. I have a little over 200 that survived. I lived in a townhouse at that time we managed to run them upstairs to the second floor, but some of them didn’t make it there in time. I’m slowly remembering what records were lost. I am trying to gradually replace them.
Kudos to everyone here !!! Rock on!!

I have been a Discogs member for many years and have always tried to use it to keep inventory and recently became a seller. Customer wrote a review that he told me he did not mean to say the things he said, and because I was out of town I could not ship it within two days and get back to him at a decent time. I shipped it two days later, but did not get back to him and he said that I did not get back to him at a decent amount of time and has since then not allowed me to sell. Because of this, I am unable to sell and as soon as another platform becomes available, I will be leaving Discogs.
My side of the story was not even asked, so they took one bad review and cut me off from selling on Discogs, which is unacceptable without asking me first about what happened. I cannot wait for a new platform to come out as Discogs has been losing money as I have sold a lot of albums on eBay this past year and a half. Just a suggestion that you will ask your Discogs people their side of the story before you cut them off. As I have not been able to get it to work ever since. eBay loves the money I have made them by the way.

The overall concept of Discogs is really cool. Love the fact that it has so many records in its database. However, the functionalities in this app make it not enjoyable to use. I find myself more frustrated than it’s worth when attempting to add new records to my collection. Many instances where records will show up when you type in the info but the app gives you an error every time you try to click on it. So you try a new one as there is a couple options; this time you get stuck in a never ending loading screen. You decide to type it in the search bar again, you find it, you click it, it presents an error, you have to retype the entire serial number as the app does not save your searches unless you actually press the “search” button after typing in the information. Only problem is that if you do complete the search by pressing the “search” button, Discogs will not be able to find the record. However it shows up in the suggested records when you type the record serial in before you hit the “search” button. App is just really clunky and hard to use.
