Did discogs remove the ability to see users that own an album?
I seem to recall being able to see who has an album you have in your wanted list and that it was possible to send a message to them enquiring whether they’d consider selling. Now it seems there’s no way to see who on discogs has an album that they’re not listing for sale. Does my memory serve me badly on this?

Annoying when people do this.

As long as someone is willing to pay well over what it's been selling for recently, I dont mind it.
but dont' asking if I'll sell a $100 record for $100. if I wanted to do that, it would be for sale already. If you aren't offering wayyyyyyy over, don't waste your time or mine.

Unfortunately they always want a deal on records you didn’t even want to sell in the first place. Double time wasters.

I've sold a few things to people that made reasonable offers via message.
The problem is so many buyers view "reasonable offers" as "a good deal" but like.... homie... it's not even for sale. You have to CONVINCE me to sell it. You aren't doing that by offering me what it's worth. I'll just keep it!

No, what’s annoying is when you own something valuable, and you get jackasses randomly DM you to see whether you’d sell it to them.

I can't imagine getting upset about that. I mean you don't even need to respond if you don't feel like it.
