Hi! I just wanted to take the time to tell you all about the wonderful world that is Discogs. (If you don't already know and use it)
Discogs is a user contributed database of like every record release you could possibly think of. It is THE best place to buy or sell records which is why I'm trying to make a mass movement for everyone to stop using ebay (because it is lame and listing title searches are stupid) and move to Discogs for buying/selling/trading of records/tapes/whatever...
Why is it the best you might ask?
- WELL! You can add any release on Discogs to your "want list" Then when anyone lists one for sale, you will receive an email noting the release and the price (or not if you change your email preferences)
-You can also add items to your collection which allows other people to see what you own - This is great for browsing through other people's collections and matching up your wants with their haves and vice versa and proposing a trade or a purchase when no one has listed that item for sale. Especially great for rare and hard to find releases.
- You don't have to deal with stupid ebay emails when someone has listed one item with a million and one titles.
- You can contribute to the database and feel good that you have a release that nobody else has =P
- You can easily message anyone about releases and you won't receive spam (unlike ebay...)
- You can rip on ebay and not feel bad about it even though you still use it.
- Lists are fun
Here is an example of what a release on Discogs looks like:
www.discogs.com/Casual-4-Crybaby-Secret-Audio-Club-Wax-Packs/release/5275263
Here is the 10 Wax packs 7"s
www.discogs.com/label/638069-Secret-Audio-Club-Wax-Packs-Series-1
From here you can access my collection, my want list and everything I have for sale in the tabs to the left (including coolored wax packs for sale)

ENJOY!!!!
