Sad news for the music collecting world: www.discogs.com/forum/thread/689690I'm sure most of you here know what GEMM is (or was), but for the uninitiated, GEMM stands for Global Electronic Music Marketplace. I got quite a few things from that website and am sad to see it go. |

Oooooohhhhh not good news!
I cannot count how many vinyl items i found on that site.
From very rare items, like the Canadian Arcadia interview 12" for only usd14, to a pile of 15 quite common 7"s to fill some gaps.
A few months ago i did hear from a seller that Gemm was having troubles in paying the sellers.
Very sad!

But there were also a lot of rip-off merchants on that site aswell..mamma records for one! Of course, but along the years (for me many, many years) you knew which ones were okay and which ones we not. |

Of course, but along the years (for me many, many years) you knew which ones were okay and which ones we not. Yep. I got many a great thing from there, not just Duran Duran but other artists. Discogs is great, but if the item isn't an entry, then you are unable to buy it. As for Mamma Records....yeah...what a joke they are with their outrageously inflated prices. |

A nice alternative but so many f*cking lazy sellers listing their items under the wrong pressing/entry. It drives me crazy. I forgot to ask a seller to double check and baaaaaaammmm i am dealing with such an idiot immediately. And i believe according to the policies sellers do not have to refund shipping charges... Even if they incorrectly listed their stuff. |
