A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.
A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.
My wife and I have just recently started to use Discogs, so we were unaware of the new fees and some of the problems associated with ordering. My wife has bought several LPs from the site, and hasn’t had an issue, while I’ve only ordered one LP (also with no issue).
We have the luxury of having a few record stores in town with fairly large vinyl selections. The electronic record store I frequent also uses Discogs, however I haven’t talked to the owner to see how these fees have impacted his experience as a seller. I’ll have to remember to talk to him about it next time I’m visiting his store.
