hey guys someone in the
sources apprentice group asked if i
would do a video
showing how to sell on discogs so
here it is um so you guys have probably
heard me say discogs is a place
for music freaks
okay so your run-of-the-mill normal
stuff
is not going to sell very well on here
um what people are on here looking for
is
the really unusual thing so i got a
bunch of classical records here i'm
going to look a few up
and uh let's see we can find you can
search by the
title or the artist
if you want to i've got one here okay
it's this one right here now i could
have searched up capella antiqua munich
cornrod rueland gothic cathedral center
i could have used any one of these words
and discogs would give me this drop down
now when i'm searching
on discogs i will sometimes click
through
to the uh listing but i like that they
do this drop down because i can look
right away and say oh look
the bottom price on this one is a dollar
well i'm not going to bother selling
that one so i really don't need to
click through to that one now you can
click through if you want to um
here it gives the all the breakdown and
everything then you can look over here
and see oh gosh so the lowest it's ever
sold for is a dollar
median is only 350 highest is 15. that's
too low for me
okay i like my things to sell a little a
little more than that
um now on discogs i will list for lower
prices than i do
on amazon or ebay because their fees are
very very low
and i usually make a buck or two on
shipping also because i have a
my shipping policy set up that way so
you can
click through to look for other items
for sale
actually let's not bother with this one
let's let's keep moving okay so you can
search
by using keywords artist title whatever
or you can search by typing in the label
name
and the catalog number
okay here's this one and again prices go
down to 1.99 so i'm not going to bother
with that one either
all right let's see if we can find a
better one
okay uh i don't see any okay this is a
classical one here but that's not the
one that i have so i'm gonna add a
couple more words here
this is called bach organ works
let's see if that does it okay there it
is all right now the bottom price on
this one is 8.99 so now i'm a little
intrigued okay
let's click through and look at this
thing
okay well it's last sold is never okay
so it really doesn't matter what the
price is if it has never sold before
so i'm going to skip this one too
obviously there's no interest
one thing i like about discogs is they
have this
this have and one thing here they have
is people that have this record and call
in their collection the want
is people who would like to get this
record for their collection
so that's that's beautiful you know that
tells you supply and demand right here
in this case there's some supply there's
zero demand so i'm going to skip that
one too let's try a different one
okay bottom price is six bucks that's
not
really great but let's check it out
anyway
okay now i'm a little more interested
okay
uh there are 60 people that have it in
their collection there's 13 people that
want to add it to their collection so
there's at least some
interest okay and when i look at
sales history lowest it's ever sold for
is eight dollars
median is 20. i can even click on this
and look at the sales history okay let's
let's oh i have to tell them i'm not a
robot
let's see some details
there we go okay you see it last sold
august 2020. i'm recording this at the
end of september so that's only two
months ago okay so it's pretty recent
all right the one that sold in august
was near mint mine is not near man oh my
gosh went for 35 bucks that's amazing
okay very good plus very good plus uh
well
i mean there's some decent prices here
okay and there's one
two three four five sales this year
for some pretty decent prices okay i
kind of like this i think um
i think we should sell it let's look at
the other releases
okay this one says very good media
that's the disc very good plus
sleeve that's a jacket uh six dollars
plus five dollar shipping i have five
dollars shipping
799 plus shipping very good very good i
mean mine's very good plus
so i'm thinking i can get eight or nine
bucks for it
okay i think we should try that all
right so i'm going to say
sell this item now let me
look at the record here and i will gauge
i'm sorry you guys can't see the record
uh oh my goodness it is oh it does have
a few
scratches here okay so let's look at
condition
let's say let's call it very good
noticeable groove where light scratches
surface noise will not overpower the
music
yeah i did not play test this but these
scratches are very very light
so i'm not going to bother to play test
it okay
and sleeve condition will say the same
thing okay
so my notes are and you see uh discogs
keeps my notes here with predicted text
which is kind of cool has a few
white scratches that will
not affect play
let's look at the jacket here
uh well it's an x library it's got some
tape on it okay um album
jacket has tape along spine
and bottom but very little
wear let's correct our spelling
all right and there's a bonus insert
here
let me see what this is it's a four okay
four page
uh insert with liner notes
and then i like to tell them uh that i
poly bag
and bubble wrap everyone
and one thing um that discogs does not
have is they don't have the ability for
you to put photos of your item like ebay
does or like amazon does
so i always say photos available on
request okay
all right now we decided what seven or
eight bucks i'm gonna price this kind of
low let's just
get a sale moving okay then the
discounts also allows you
to let people give you offers okay
i just accepted an offer
today on a record i had priced at 125
and somebody offered me 95 bucks for it
i mean i it cost me pennies so you know
i'm going to let somebody
give me offers on this all right because
now look at discounts fees
56 cents that's really really low okay
i you can't do that on amazon or even on
ebay
so if this sells at seven dollars
my shipping price is five dollars so
they'll pay me 12.
and then discogs lets you buy your
shipping label
right on the site um and they give you
you know a little bit of a discount so
medium will cost me like three dollars
and fifty cents
okay so um all together
i'll receive 12 bucks it'll cost me four
dollars and i made eight dollars profit
so that is how you list things on
discogs for sale
