Best way/place to sell TehRaer™ in 2020?
4YearGraduate said:Whats up guys, long time no talk. 2020 mfg and all have left me a little high and dry going into the holidays, wondering if anyone has a recommendation on best way to liquidate some raer nowadays? Ebay, Discogs, other? SS list?
I put a few things up on Discogs to test the waters and so far first two orders that came in were from EU and already can see this becoming a nightmare.
Anyone on here interested in picking up some bombs at homie rate?The sales forums here and over at Waxi might be worthwhile but I think Waxi doesn't like sellers who don't participate in the general discurs.
I've always been a fan of store consignment. Superfly in Paris are good, easy and friendly to deal with. Berlin stores are crap right now and everybody is broke as far as I hear. A friend and I used to sell Rear through Disk Union but Japan has gone bad with the economic slump and a sad exchange rate.
https://www.instagram.com/recordcitybk/ works out great for me.
Discogs is a sweltering garbage burn for for over-graded, skated backpacker gear and a bottomless dollar store dump for the medium common or lower wall pieces from yesteryear. Discogs' sales history is all distorted by tons of F/P garbage sold at garbage prices but graded as VG. But maybe that's just with African.
Social media might be a killing field for flipping clean grails but since sm is all geared towards connecting people who don't know each other in the real world I wouldn't have the needed trust in humanity to go that way.
Generally I would never ship valuable records to people I don't personally know without having the cash first. With all these online sales platforms having conditioned everybody to use Paypal or Credit cards (don't even have accounts for this shit) the good old money order has become a 90s thing most young djs/collectors have never even used before.
Personally I'd always chose stores. I do feel like there might be great potential for fresh brick and mortar shops in the post Covid world, perhaps in some emerging nations that might get a kick start soon.
A lot of shit is going to be changing in 2021. Perhaps hold your breath a little while longer and some more rewarding paths for letting go of teh TrülyRär™ might reveal themselves. You can only sell a record once.
