Discogs deal goes awry

2 Butthurt Lane, Discogstown, Georgia, D15C0G5

on my way

Lol just look at this:

  Quote

Me:

Hello brother! Is it possible to send me a small sample from each and every song from this record? I'd truly appreciate it! Thanks in advance! Peace!

 

Jerk:

Hello, First I am not and I won't be your brother. Second, I don't have time to sample a NM record. It is as stated, playing like a NM record should. Would it be G+ or VG, I could possibly do it. All the best

 

Me:

Don't need to be rude, I am sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention, I must have been mistaken cause I thought I'd bought from you before... My request was not to check the quality of the record but to check which songs are on it. Once again, sorry to bother you, all the best!

don't worry yek, you can also give him a bad review right? he has the right to do that... doesn't mean he's not an asshole...

Maybe he has some personal issues in his private life that cause him to be a bit rough around the edges but deep down in his heart he is a good guy just trying to do the right thing.

He hasn't reviewed me yet but I threatened him saying I'd do it right back 

So much drama maybe i should stick to the local record store.

I'd just suck it up really, he's in the right even if he's probably already wasted more of his own time here than you ever did. I mean are other sellers even going to care about one negative feedback on your profile?

If you retaliate, he sounds like just the type who would try and get your feedback (and possibly your buyer privileges) removed. Not even remotely worth it.

I Placed An Order, Then Decided I Didn’t Want It. Now I Have Negative Feedback. What Can I Do About This?

He's an arsehole then. I wouldn't worry too much about getting a bad review. Sellers have an option to automatically decline transactions with anyone below a certain percentage of positive feedback but I doubt many sellers use that function.

I've found you can usually tell who is a prick if you click into their seller terms and they've used the word timewaster, something about how all sales are final, and maybe some anecdote about being messed about. No point in buying anything off those cunts.

PS here's my store if anyone wants to buy some complete shite from the 80s from me

Word. Like a bitch with baggage, stay clear.

failing to read the seller terms before choosing to buy is hardly an acceptable reason for cancelling.
The terms are there for a reason, so you dont waste the sellers time.

so, you didnt actually find a better deal, just you didnt read my terms, correct?
It really doesnt matter if you found a better deal or not, regardless

It's a love & hate relationship now... 

Pay up

for someone who is concerned so much with wasting time he sure is dragging this thing out

Ok so the subject matter of this thread is going to change

But im now dealing with a big problem

My tango n vectif just arrived. The cover is supposed to be very good plus and it's worn to fuck

The records themselves should be very good but there huge visible scratch marks in it.

What can I do?

I said I want my money back. I guess I have to ship it back???

sue

Naw man, but I feel like I've been cheated here. There's nothing "very good" with any of this.

yeah some times those gradings are pretty mischievous... i received a record stated as good or very good with a ripped cover with a signature on it... the guy didn't even apologized just said something like feel free to return it... i was like, i don't wanna return it, i'll have to spend money on shipping and shit, i'd just like you to be honest, he replied the same, feel free to return it... i obviously left him negative feedback, and i guess he did the same... water under the bridge...

Boy, oh boy, that went awry!

One time I received a record that was listed as "very good" but was in fact only "good". I was slightly disappointed but didn't say anything. Maybe I should have, though. You can't let these crooks get away with this sort of fraud, otherwise they'll never learn it

Well the guy is nice enough.  Said that he had more than one copy and maybe a mix up.

So now I decide if i want the money back or possibly another bad condition shipment. 

fart in the sleeve, shrinkwrap it, and send it back

I bottled a friend's fart once, it didn't last 

This is the second time this week I've quoted this thread:

It's sad, 10 years on and we still don't have a workable fart chamber.

i prefer discogs for it's focus on selling just music, but i would prefer it if i could define the weight of packaging so it could be accounted for when setting up shipping rates for buyers. this would avoid the situation of people placing orders and having to wait for it to be weighed and set, thus no "you showed some interest, you must buy" scenarios. also, no failure to checkout from uncertainty.
