One year ago, I talked about a site (www.nasdisc.com) that I said would be the future of buying and selling vinyl records online. I still believe it could be. I got a little sidetracked opening my record store, but I had some time to check back in with the Nasdisc team and they have some very promising updates to their already impressive online marketplace.

I have been selling and buying on Discogs 22 years. Ebay 30. I just don't see the issues you present as real for a halfway educated buyer. If you wanna get into the space, more competition won't hurt anything.

@nitro5247 Год назад

Thank you so so SO much for talking about this. I’ve been an avid user of Discogs since I started collecting records a few years ago, and it’s really bothered me how the site has so many problems that the people running it seem to not care enough to fix. It’s really great to hear that there’s such a promising alternative, though-Nasdisc looks like a fantastic little app, and I’m excited to try it out! Thanks again for telling us about it Matt, I really hope that the rest of the community gets to see this video.

i took a quick peek at Nasdisc and it looks HORRIBLE. 1999 internet vibes. Selection is awful----they have NONE of the underground records i am after, like literally NONE. This may be good for mainstream stuff but it doesn't cut it otherwise. I miss GEMM-----GEMM was a great database for searching for records---SUPER BASIC, i was so sad when it went away. It was purely a marketplace.

@cedfan1 Год назад

Thanks for posting. Fan of your channel. So fed up with Discogs. Constantly getting incorrect shipping quotes & then sellers telling me it's way more than discogs quoted. Also, rampant gouging from sellers asking insane amounts for shipping. For example, I've seen listings for a $20 album with a $80 (or more) shipping fee. FOR ONE RECORD !!! Greedy greedy, greedy.

@lukejohnston5993 Год назад

Perpetual returns is silly honestly. Physical media is a one-off license to play the media from the physical thing until it wears out (and not copy it). The Artist gets way more than they do from several streams. When the owner sells it, they obviously can’t play it anymore. It’s like saying ancient companies should get a cut when antiques are sold.

@bluflam1ngo Год назад

5:43 Unfortunately not in the UK. But looking forward to using the website. Thanks Matt. 👍

@machiel5888 Год назад

It hurts to see a $15 record going for 50 euros or more on discogs, because shipping costs have destroyed the ability to get record from abroad. I see LPs that are 19.99 at Target being put up for 3x that and it makes collecting on a budget a nightmare. I've had my experiences with scammers on Discogs too.

@TheAgeOfAnalog Год назад

Discogs needs a serious commitment to improving their site. There's pretty much no way any other site, current or future, is going to compete with their extensive, basically crowd sourced database.

@dagforster7627 Год назад

As a frustrated Discogs seller I would love to use Nasdisc but it doesn't seem to be a very good marketplace for the records I've got - pre-CD Era rock (mostly psych/prog) and all kinds of pre-1995 jazz. It looks great if you're selling contemporary music... EDIT: I'm gonna send a link to this video to Discogs' seller/customer support, although I'm not sure anyone is there. Discogs seems like it's been on autopilot for years.

@TooManyRecords Год назад

It would get more diverse if more people jumped on board. That's the catch 22.

@dagforster7627 Год назад

@@TooManyRecords Unfortunately I think there might be a generational thing keeping that from happening, Nasdisc skews young, Discogs older. I source most of my inventory from estate sales and my GF and I joke that if we had a physical store we'd call it "Dead Boomers' Records".

@dylanbrinkley636 Год назад

I'm not sure how I feel about the perpetual returns thing. For one thing I feel like it could be very easily abused. You already have some labels charging a premium because they know a release will sell well on the aftermarket. I feel if they're also getting a cut of those aftermarket prices too it would just incentivise labels to gamble on the aftermarket themselves and thus the prices of records getting even more out of hand. Then you'll have labels charging more because it'll be in their interest for it to sell well on the aftermarket, and as a result those aftermarket prices will also go up. I do agree it's super shitty when someone can sell an artist work for 10 times more than the artist made off the first sale, but it does feel like something that can and will be exploited by a label getting too greedy and starting a domino effect. Or maybe I'm just doomsday preaching, who knows.

@TooManyRecords Год назад

I think it's a bit doomsday preaching, like you said. Until these things start to happen as a direct result of a program like this, I wouldn't be too concerned. Prices are creeping up regardless.

@henrys3629 Год назад

Most of the items I want are overseas. I can't be helped. I really want records with OG sleeve and no generic, but some sellers don't understand that. I'm one of those guys with Ikea type shelves that want to display their goods. Is that so wrong? Also I found so far nothing on my list, but if I start requesting certain things, I'll be in debt up to my eyeballs.

@waldzz Год назад

I think the perpetual returns might be a slippery slope. I have not read up on the details but is the slice of inflation going to the label or direct to the artists themselves? I feel without transparency and accountability it will just be a way for labels to siphon more money from the community/artists

@TooManyRecords Год назад

As I've said in other comments, that's a worst case scenario lens that there's no reason to think will happen. As of now, the 10% fee that the site charges (7% and 3%) goes towards the artist, so they're basically just taking the fee and giving it to the artist. That scales based on the aftermarket prices that something sells for, which the platform isn't responsible for.

@waldzz Год назад

@@TooManyRecords apologies for the redundancy, scrolled for a little while without seeing mention. Thank you for the clarification!

@Henry-lq6rt Год назад

It’s a good idea to have multiple sources of income when selling records. What top 3 sites would you recommend ?

@XxLiveMusicxX Год назад

The trivial things you mentioned NASDISC was good at could be implemented better/quicker and more efficiently on discogs within a day if discogs cared about those features. NASDISC is the desperate website begging people to come look at them when they offer NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Its never going to replace the OGs and by splitting the community its actually doing us all a disservice by existing.

@TooManyRecords Год назад

I completely disagree with this line of thinking. Discogs has had a decade to get their crap together and it hasn't happened. Disruption happens in all industries by a company that is willing to go above and beyond and solve the needs of the people, something Discogs has barely, if at all, made stides in doing.

@MattCupan Год назад

Discogs still king. As you stated, monopoly. Imean there have been countless times people bash eBay. If Discogs went back to their own proprietary payment, and left PayPal I think it would solve any issues I personally have with Discogs. But ya, if you buy/sell vinyl, you are at the mercy of dealing with Discogs.

The Discogs alert system is ridiculous. I don’t even look anymore. How the hell do I set it to where I don’t get alerts that a record I want popped up for sale in some random ass country???? And just because I have a reissue in my want list, doesn’t mean I want an alert for it, since it’s not a hard record to find! Honestly, if they Discogs just fixed a few issues, I’d be content with them

@TooManyRecords Год назад

@TheAgeOfAnalog Год назад

@Pluralofvinylisvinyls Год назад

I bet it’s good but that user base is like 80% of what makes Discogs good. This is the first I’m hearing about it but record collectors are fanatical enough that maybe it’ll catch on quick and Discogs could be MySpace in a couple years

@djb61 Год назад

So your saying if I buy any physical product in life and I hold on to it and that product goes up in value, which I then decide to sell, that the company (artist, etc) should be able to get royalties. As an artist myself I don't think that's a good road to go down it's a physical product and should not be the worry of a company, artist, etc. If a company and or artist are so concerned then they should take the risk and make more product. You can use that same theory with buying a shirt and selling/donating to a second hand store and they sell it and the original shirt company gets a cut, makes no sense. That sounds like a greedy company, artist, etc.. Also I checked out Nasdisc after your video. I think Discogs is by far a better platform, although like any platform they have things they can work on. As a Vinyl collector myself I'm always on the hunt for it, but honestly don't think Nasdisc will appeal to me (needs to be simplified). I do appreciate your videos showing people other avenues for Vinyl collecting, but this one just came off like a sponsored video.

Perpetual returns is dumb in my opinion. If the artist wanted to drive price down just release the record. They know they’re putting a limited product out there to sell out. That’s why it sells out fast because they sell exclusivity with every record. Instead why not re release if the artist actually wanted money. And to your point saying it’s coming from the platforms money I’m sure that’s wrong. It will come out of the seller/buyers just an extra tax. Everyone wants exclusivity until they miss out.
