Honestly I do it because I like doing it lol. Of all the times I do dollar crate digging (like once every month), I don't mind it at all. If I help one person by discovering a new release, then why not. I mean I gotta do something while listening to all of them right? Might as well catalogue them

plus there's no fucking way you're finding some of the shit he's buying in local dollar bins.
If you click on some of his purchases, they're generally listed for sale from $0.20 to $2.49. Not exactly breaking the bank here.

I'm glad when people do that, and I try to do the same, whether or not I acquired something through Discogs.

I used to just lay on my back, eyes occasionally closed, listening to a record with undivided attention. Sometimes I'd get impatient, cos I felt like I couldn't do anything until it ended.

It's just a matter of looking through sellers to find a good wantlist and don't be afraid to make them an offer when ordering a good sum. Most people I find are happy to get whatever money and extra space.

I haven't bought a batch of records in several years now, but I would always send a seller a message if they had multiple I wanted. Could usually get some sort of discount, or a few records from my want-list thrown in for free, etc. Most people on Discogs (that I've dealt with) have been quite friendly.

and when it comes to some of Tsunami's records, there's no way you're going to find some of those records from Europe in Colorado, let alone North America
do you think a "share your purchase on tranceaddict.com forums what's new in your crate" button appears when you buy at discogs? why would purchasing something on discogs generate a hyperlink ready for forum sharing?

I do find 60% of my records at local record stores, but I do get the rest on Discogs and as for the hyperlinking, I do it just for the hell of it, I really don't care if people click on them or not. As for my income, I do save up a little every week and also pay the bills

Hey I didn't mean to stir up trouble. I was just having a bad day.

I haven't really bought a dance record, but rather pop ones. The dance records I knew of weren't really worth my time. The most recent purchase made was a dance record though: THE NIGHTDAY EP by Zhu. It's deep house. My favorite record this year by far.

Just been given about 6 crates of classic club tunes... way too much to list here but pretty fucking happy about that! Motivated me to get the techs out to go through them and perhaps get a new mix together.
