I came across this site a few months back, as I was getting back into collecting and listening to vinyl records. Not sure how I found it, but I’m glad that I did! It’s “one-stop shopping” for tracking your music collection, including records, CDs, etc. In addition, you can build a want list of items that you’re looking for. I found this really helpful as I’m attempting to rebuild my vinyl collection and am looking for specific releases, and mostly original pressings.
But, the way cool part, is that discogs.com will show you the other discogs.com members that have items on your want list for sale. So, if you’re looking for the first mono pressing of The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds, you can click a link and see who has it for sale. You’ll also get a daily email with a list of new items for sale from your want list. You can initiate the purchase of an item through discogs.com, but the transaction will ultimately be run through PayPal or something similar, depending on the seller. To close the loop, there is a feedback mechanism much like eBay so you know that you’re buying from or selling to reputable people.
Check it out!
