Thanks @deaf for the heads up.

Initially prices at 225 pounds. I received a notification after a couple of that the price was lowered to 195. I decided to make an offer. Not expecting to get it. I wanted to put in 140 that didn’t feel right.
I ended up making an offer for 125 pounds. Including shipping and customs that equaled €200. And I thought if I can get it for that I am very happy because I never thought I would get it for that price or lower.
Still a lot of money of course.

Congrats@Bez, really cool! That's a great deal - you would always get your money back and more via discogs if you would decide to sell (not that I think you would ever consider that as the score and artwork are iconic - and it sounds great, it's a fantastic pressing). I paid more at the time and will always hold on to my copy.

@Bez - Beautiful album and the vinyl looks very glossy. I agree with @ChrisMcQ, it's an excellent pressing. Nice work on the offer and picking this up. That Enzo Sciotti artwork is like nothing else. What a treasure.

Beautiful copy of a classic! I want to go back to when Mondo had just put out their version. Has it really been more than ten years, hard to believe it.

Anybody else notice a huge increase in scam seller accounts on Discogs over the last month or two? They all seem to be listing the same assortment of rare albums in various condition between $70-79 USD trying to get buyers. I have been reporting these to Discogs Support trying to get them taken down.

It's insane, also be careful as they have been hacking accounts and listing these on accounts too so if you have a basic or simple password, you should probably make sure it's a bit more difficult password.

Most of these sellers are new, no sales and no rating. But I've seen a few where it's an established account that all of sudden is flooding the market place with rare records at low prices (the same these other accounts are doing) and then a bunch of negative reviews on the account saying it's a scam, even though the account has been active for 5 plus years with positive reviews up until recently.

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to discogs sales recently...

The scam tactics are also malicious. If you buy and file a claim they will send a legitimate proof of delivery via FedEx/UPS for your zip code to try and prevent the refund.

There's even more hacked accounts than I had originally thought. That thread is crazy.

I'm wondering if Invada worked out a deal with Amazon recently. I picked up Archive 81 and Ex Machina from Amazon over the last few weeks.

Hard to say cause Drokk is sold out on their site. But side note...Ex Machina is so good.

Saw that a few days ago but their site said sold out. Must have got more. Wonder how it sounds.
