Does anyone know a place to buy used vinyl other than Discogs. I have been using them for a long time and they have really enshittified the experience.

I just got a record player and just found Discogs. Haven't bought anything from them yet. Can you tell me what kind of enshittification you've experienced? I'd like to know what I'm in for.

The searching, sorting and filtering are all really bad. You can only pay with PayPal when it works, when PayPal returns you to their app it doesn’t know what to do and sometimes it says payment accepted and most of the time it does say anything, so it’s very confusing. I still use them because I have thousands of records catalogued with them and it’s the only database I have found that has just about every music format in it.

Interesting thanks. I definitely picked up on searching and sorting being hit or miss, didn't realize it might have been better before.

It’s definitely the mobile app with the issues. I had to complete a purchase using the web version and it was pretty good.

Oh that's a good tip.
