Guest Matt Male Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I've bought off it, somen modern soul 12", it's alright, same as Gemm really.

Or contributed with some info ? TIA. Yep, it's pretty much the best site to sell 12" Dance stuff on. It's primarily used as a research tool as the discographies are surprisingly good for the more mainstream stuff. Also it's much, much simpler to list items - it takes aproximately 30 seconds to list something on Discogs as opposed to 6-7 minutes on E-Bay so Discogs is much more user-friendly. Also, you don't pay any fees until you sell something. Pretty good IMO.... Ian D

Girthdevon Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I sell on there all the time now, this & Gemm are my main two sites that I use. Altho' Gemm is pretty slow at the best of time..... Started using Discogs as a cheaper alternative to EvilBay, and cos it was great for selling all different styles of music - the soul stuff listed on there is growing all the time and the sales are too......brilliant site for info too....

Philippe Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 I sell on there all the time now, this & Gemm are my main two sites that I use. I saw that they only take 6% fees, right ? What does take Gemm ? .brilliant site for info too.... Do you participate by giving some infos ? I noticed that some discographies are rather incomplete... PS : Thanks all for your replies !

I think) - Gemm is 13% if they process payment, thats 13% of the total including the postage cost. I add titles all the time, its a database of music and yes lots of labels are incomplete - its an ongoing thing, and it would be nice to see more soul / funk collectors involved..... Girf
Kris Holmes Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I have just started up on there & am looking at adding to their woefully incomplete soul/funk lists. If more soul/funk collectors got behind it & added to the database it could be a really useful place for selling & buying. At the moment there is a lot of mainstream & dance/electronica/hip hop music getting moved through there. It won't get any better unless we all contribute.

At the moment there is a lot of mainstream & dance/electronica/hip hop music getting moved through there. It won't get any better unless we all contribute. When it started it was predominantly for dance / house / electronica etc only, and has grown from there. Obviously the scope has always been there for the other types of music - and slowly it is being introduced. Like you say, needs some contribution from the soul / funk / jazz people. Its already a fantastic source of information, and will only get bigger & better.....for selling, its already a really useful place. I couldn't do without it, and it pleases me sooooooo much not to have to use Ebay any longer...... Girf
Guest vinylmaniac Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Yes .No problems ,the site is a breeze.Ta
