Anyone have any interest in setting up a DiS group on Discogs?
Might be a nice way just to share music taste or get info from the DiS hivemind, and of course handy whenever anyone from the boards decides to sell some stuff.

Not that I have my collection logged or have any idea how Discogs groups work.

Wow that’s a hell of a record collection. Are/were you a DJ?

Many years ago I use to dj at and promote house & techno parties but not anymore. So now I play house parties and such. The records I own are house/techno, stoner/doom, punk/rock and disco/pop.

I’d steal them if you want to.

#21

Yes, I’ve added all my vinyl and cds of the main artists I collect. Took me days to do it - but glad I did. Just log what I buy now.

#22

Yeah used to but always forget about it and it gets mad out of date. Might jazz it up a bit and list some stuff for sale.

#23

I’m alright, thanks.

I started logging a few records late last year, and then logged in all of them. I’m a bit dubious of the estimated value of collection, because at the moment it’s worth more than my car

#25

I have just started doing this, I thought a search would find some other chumps from here who have too. I have got from A - Dinosaur Jr in two days, just doing my vinyl. CDs are either long gone or sentimental tat or compilations I can’t get rid of. It varies from quite interesting in terms of value and a bit of a slog, I don’t think I need to search matrix numbers for which specific mid-70s reissue of Bob Dylan LP I have for example so I’ll cut that out. Odd thinking some records I know I picked up for £4 in the early 00s are now selling for £40+.

The idea is to complete it all, keep it up to date and sell some of the guff and/or the most valuable in relation to how much I actually like it or listen to it. I can always then replace with a different version if I happen to have the first pressing with original sticker and inserts or whatever.

I keep my own spreadsheet about my collection that I update when ever I get anything new. When I set it up a few years ago, it was a pain and inputting it all took forever, but its great now that everything is there. Discogs is a really good platform, both for selling and organising stuff, but I prefer to record everything myself as I can choose what I am recording and customise it to my collection

#27

I have a spreadsheet as well, I think I’ll do both concurrently as discogs does things like list the year as the reissue rather than the year of release. I like a handy list to scroll through and a way of checking value, cataloguing the specific release and a platform for selling.

#28

I started, but gave up. I found that a lot of my stuff wasn’t on there. Weird acid techno from Europe for example. In an ideal world I would add it myself…

#29

Vaguely just started doing this a few days ago. Sort of couldn’t see the point, but having it so my collection is more easily searchable is appealing - as well as knowing how much certain things are worth. Have added stuff to the database in the past - takes a bit of getting used to (functionality-wise) but once I got my head around grouping releases etc. it seemed pretty easy.

#30

Yeah, I remember now, I did try to add some stuff, but I couldn’t find out how to do something really, really basic. And it bugged me and I gave up.

#31

No, I used to keep a spreadsheet of CDs but let the updates slide when I started buying more digital stuff, I might try and resurrect it (if I can find it!). Can’t be bothered to start putting my 2000 odd CDs on Discogs but may look at putting my vinyl on it.

#32

this is already proving more illuminating than expected, as I didn’t realise my copy of Revolver was the mono version

#33

on the other hand, if someone buys something from or sells something to you, they have your address, along with a list of every rare and valuable record you have.

I’m sure the kind of people who would actually break into someone’s house are mostly unaware of Discogs, but someone made that point to me recently.

i’m not too concerned as probably the rarest LP i have is worth <£100, but it’s definitely something to consider. or can you put your collection on ‘private’? in which case, obviously disregard this entire post.

I have bought some items on discogs, but haven’t found the desire to catalog everything there. Maybe I will at some point.

#35

Yeah, I am very nervous about giving my address out generally when it comes to selling stuff, but when it comes to my records. If they can find the rare ones, or carry them all…then frankly they are welcome to them.

#36

yeah, you can ‘private’ your collection
