[QUOTE="Charlie, post: 686644, member: 1102"] I picked this up for a fiver on ebay over a year ago and even though I've hammered it I still love it phones: :heart: . As for the copies that's been mentioned on this thread already, well without trying to offend anyone, this to me is what epitomises the bad side of discogs. No insertion fees so people put massively over inflated prices on tunes because it's a no lose situation. If it sells they are laughing, and if doesn't they've lost nowt. Unfortunatly this is really starting to have a knock on effect. If someone lists something for £200, that realistically aint worth a fraction of that price, then rest assured it aint gonna sell. It then lies dormant on ogs until the next person who wants to sell a copy comes along. They see the same item listed at £200, assume it's worth that price and then list there copy at say £180 expecting it to sell. The chances then of someone coming along and listing the record for what it's actually worth or cheaper are significantly reduced. Discogs used to be the place for bargains but so many greedy fookers have cottoned on to it now that the chances of picking up a rarity on the cheap are few and far between. It's only my opinion and one of which I dare say a lot of people wouldn't agree with, but I personally think that anything being listed over a certain price should have an insertion fee and time scale for how long it's on there. At least that way it might just put people off from listing stuff for silly money just for the hell of it. What annoys me more than anything is that half the time the people that's selling tunes at silly prices don't give a shit about the records that they are actually flogging. It could be justified if someone was in dire need of cash and listed something for a hefty price that they really didn't wanna part with. At the end of the day everything has it's price and I personally wouldn't let something go that meant a lot to me on the cheap, BUT I wouldn't try to sell something that meant jack shit to me for a fortune just to be a greedy bastard.
