I’m very much the same, although as a buyer it doesn’t particularly bother me waiting longer if I’m buying from a “private” seller as opposed to an actual record shop/label’s Discogs store etc
My absolute favourite thing is a discogs message in all caps asking WHEN YOU SHIPPING??? I think it’s the amazon effect. I’ll cancel and block someone in flash for that tbh

Or “what’s the tracking number” when they’ve paid for non tracked postage

Grim as…
Thought about selling on Discogs but this is what puts me right off, the thought of having to deal with some chancer & all the ball ache that would come with it.

Where are you based, maybe someone here can recommend a sound second hand shop?
I’ve been both a seller and buyer on scogs for quite a while now. It’s got to the point as a buyer where I don’t think I’ve had a smooth buy for quite a while, including records not showing up then not able to get a refund, rediculous grading and the last 4 purchases that they didn’t even own. Why can’t I just leave it alone

or sellers who say they’ll drop your record off to you and take forever to show up?!

Half an hour after they’ve paid for the record.

Chancers, you just know when they send that message they’re going to say they didn’t receive the record.
I’ve started sending everything 2nd class signed for even though I don’t state it, so when they do that I can send them a tracking number, to thwart their evil plan. Can’t remember once getting a thank you after doing so.

I do the same, although I seem to have been lucky so far. Rarely get any complaints.
I’ve just jinxed myself now, haven’t I?

Kamala Harris a much more viable prospect.
The way the Republicans have rallied around Trump is disgusting

So many aspects of US politics are really depressing (the ludicrous electoral college system, the power of the Senate, the politicised Supreme Court, gerrymandering and the rest of it) but I think what makes it even worse is that the US cannot offer global leadership whilst compromised at home, which leaves the Global South and emerging nations even more susceptible to Russian and Chinese influence (as we keep seeing at the UN). Seems to me that until a new Kennedy-esque American leader emerges who can heal the rifts and take on the reactionary/fascistic elements holding the USA back, we are stuck in a scary place. The America First and Chomsky tendencies alike who want Uncle Sam to exit the world need to come up with an alternative strategy and fast, otherwise we face a future of Putin and Xi calling the shots.

Theres also this increasing tendency to treat political parties like sports teams with too many people just blindly swearing allegiance and belieiving right is good / left is bad (or vice versa).
If youre someone whos really into guns and thats your thing then fair enough but i dont get why that automatically means you then are also anti-abortion and dont believe in climate change.
Obviously its still fuck the Tories though 
Jeremy Hunt is my MP, and Gove is/was the MP for my hometown in the neighbouring constituency so looking forward to them both fucking off

Harris is not electable or they’d have done it. Her reputation and likability are at an all time low amongst democrat voters so if Biden were to step aside then it wouldn’t be her.
I’ve been a citizen for nearly 10 years now and have never voted for someone just against people. Politics is a sad state of affairs in the US and last night was the absolute low point given that one of those two clowns will steer the ship for the next 4 years.
