a couple questions for you just out of my own curiosity:
-mind giving a brief background on your history and what types of companies you've worked for? educational background?
-whered you get the money to start your site and keep it running?
-who did the programming for your site? how'd you find them?
Went to school in Seattle for Audio Production - moved to LA and parked cars at the Beverly Hills Hotel met a bunch of stars and all that - worked at a record a label. Got sick of the smog - moved back to Syracuse to help my dads company who had the connect to the web guy. I also started doing the distribution for my friends publishing company.
All the money for the site is money I earned working. I am solo behind CrateDiggers on the business end, besides the freelance web guy named Ed.
Anything else you would like to know?
Your IP says you're posting from VA. Syracuse, VA?
And probably sorting out some records. Got a friend who can make bowls out of vinyl so im donating all the shit wax i got clogging up space...you know all those Thats Them 12's i bought a while back ;-P
Painting? You going out to hit the lines with Sarm?
I might come round next weekend cus i gotta go pick up some rekkids at peakhours...then I'll have a gang of breaks to beat your ass with!(im sorting all my dbls and my breakbeating is getting tighter bro). I'll battle you for the Ladeda's rekkids... challenger ready?
PS You aint going to harrass the beatnuts and try and sell them some wax? Send me a list and Ill toss it on stage to them... Shit you can charge mega bucks!!!!!
I just came into work, turned on the PC and this thread has gone from great to awesome.
dude handled himself pretty well after about 9 pages of abuse.
Well played man, well played.
Brix man, for the love of all that is holy, please do something about this:
Thank you.
I really wish you folks knew of me and CrateDiggers prior to this launch - you would have witnessed the progression into this phase.
Before - it was completely urban. I wanted a cleaner look for everything this time around - which is not always a good thing, but I felt I would be leaving out a good chunk of the market by keeping it urban.
How is this site any different from Gemm, cdandlp, MusicStacks, etc?
There's no fee to buy or sell? How are you going to get paid, son?
Also, how are you going to sell to multiple countries if I have to include shipping in my price?
He's better off creating an auction site similar to eBay with better terms - strictly for vinyl. Hustle up enough hype on the boards and through emails (and stores if they'll let you) over a couple years and BAM your a billionaire.
Why pigeonhole yourself to the hip-hop digging crowd with the term cratediggers when you could be getting cream from the old unwashed rock et al dude as well.

Not only that, but If you buy 2 items from the same seller then you just ended up having double shipping fees. Also If you ship to Canada that's cutting in to your profits in certain cases.

Good luck with the site. Maybe it will be big and you can post again and tell us about it.
I find it humorous that you spell "gemm" with two ms, just like the website.

Yeah. I thought this one was good too:
I find it interesting that he spells "Gangsta" with an 'ER'.....just like my mom.
I kid I kid.
Don't change things on the site too much though, its fine just the way it is.
