Everyone wants "VG+" or higher, but there are different interpretations of VG and VG+ grades in the Goldmine system. For some people VG+ must play the same as Near Mint, and the slightest bit of noise makes it VG at best. But VG can also allow for "groove wear" and significant scrateches. It becomes a very wide spectrum for that one grade. By some measures, the vast majority of used old records and even many new ones are VG. So some sellers' VGs are other sellers' VG+s, and vice versa. It's good to put the power to choose what they see in the hands of buyers, but if you encourage filtering out of all "VG" and below records you may also encourage sellers to grade more records VG+ that they would have been happy to call VG. The risk is that it favours less stringent grading.
Yeah just gotta be smart and buy from sellers that you trust. Grading will always be subjective. It's one of the things that keeps the hobby interesting, but can obviously be super annoying as well. Cheers!
Discogs has a lot of free time to appear in NTX commercials but responding to SRs or fixing the new seller inventory management system? No time for that.
Not the same staff members employed to deal with those things genius. God how do people like you function knowing so little about how businesses actually work?
If you accept questions for next time, please ask why the phone app no longer separates an artist's discography by Album/Singles/Compilations like it used to and like the desktop version still does. It's been that way (all releases all mixed up) for several months.
@@jaymitchell2687 Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of recent issues with the app and are working diligently to address them. We are in the process of improving the foundation of the entire site, which includes building a new Discogs app with the same essential functionality and an even better experience for you. We are excited to share more information about the new app soon. As a workaround, you may want to use the browser version for certain app features. There will be some bumps on our road to renovation, and we appreciate your patience as we keep moving forward and making adjustments along the way.
