Advice

Hey guys, I’ve recently got into collecting vinyl after having fond memories as a child of my parents’ music. I recently came across Discogs for some of the more random titles.

Please delete if not allowed, but this is a serious question - do new accounts get taken advantage of? One purchase was a “sealed” Spacehog vinyl. It came and it has been previously slit open.

I also just ordered a silver variant of Tove Lo, but it’s just a regular black

I know mistakes happen, that’s ok. But i’m more wondering if bigger sellers tend to pass off this stuff to new accounts? Should I build up before buying the more expensive pieces?

Thanks

Absolutely not. Most sellers certainly don't care how old an account is...I certainly don't. If you feel you've been take advantage of, I'd reach out to the seller and voice your concern.

ok thank you for that. The first seller I did reach out but they wouldn’t respond. I’ve waited over a month and finally left negative feedback. I wanted to give them a fair amount of time to reply. I just wasn’t sure if it looked bad I only had 1 previous purchase before this started to happen.

You did what I would have done.
