discogs.com review is high, likely legit.

The review of discogs.com is positive. The positive trust score is based on an automated analysis of 40 different data sources we checked online such as the technology used, the location of the company, other websites found on the same web server, etcetera.

Websites that score 80% or higher are in general safe to use with 100% being very safe. Still we strongly recommend to do your own vetting of each new website where you plan to shop or leave your contact details. There have been cases where criminals have bought highly reliable websites. You can use our article "How to recognize a scam website" to create your own opinion.

All the information we collected to review the website you can find on the remainder of the page. We hope it will help you determine if discogs.com is legit and safe to use.

Complete Review discogs.com

Webshop Evaluation

discogs.com sharing its webserver with multiple other websites. For smaller websites this is quite normal. They do not need all the computer power and internet bandwidth all the time. In this way the can share the costs of the infrastructure with multiple other sites.

We discovered that the website is rated as popular by Alexa with a score of 444. This means that the website is visited by quite a lot of people. In addition other websites find this website interesting and relevant and are linking to it. As a result we increased our review score.

We checked several review sites to find discogs.com reviews like Sitejabber, Resellerrating and Trustpilot. Mainly positive comments were found. We believe reviews are an essential part of being a reliable website and therefor increased our trust rating for this website.

Technical Evaluation

We tested the speed of the discogs.com and discovered that it is quite low. The speed of the website may differ across time. It may be a temporarily problem. It may however also mean that the owner of the website has not invested in a good performing website. Speed is considered one of the most important factors to keep customers happy on your website. A website that performance less than average might therefor be an indicator of an online scam.

We found a valid SSL Certificate. An SSL certificate is used to secure the communication between your computer and the website. There are different levels of SSL certification. A free one is also available and this one is used by online scammers. Still, not having an SSL certificate is worse than having one, especially if you have to enter your contact details.

A good place to find rock records but absolutely not classical music (records too overgraded)

I completed 14 transactions but only 7 people left me a feedback (I'm not asking people for the Feedback), two of which are negative (when there is a problem they always remember to leave a negative). Once I got a negative FB because I received a VG+ record that was actually BROKEN (yes - the seller had stated in the ad that the record had a "small defect on the beginning of one side") - and yes, you have to think before leaving negatives or you are surely retaliated. The main concern for me is that the classic LPs area is awful, the site works mostly with Rock music records and as everybody knows rock collectors tend to keep the records in indecent ways. If we add that gradings are usually very optimistic, and thus you usually get a well worn out scratched record unless you go for "Near Mint" LPs, and in this case the situation is just slightly better. Some people there does not understand what "Near Mint" or "Very Good +" means. Needless to say, classic records in poor condition are not much sought after.

Discogs is a great idea...but

Discogs is a great idea but in practice sellers are able to vastly overestimate record condition. I have only used them twice and won't be doing so again. What I bought most recently was described as "Near Mint". Discogs guidelines describe this as:
Near Mint (NM or M-)
Vinyl
A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

What I got had many surface scratches, sounded awful and was very dirty, like it had been stored in a loft for many years. I straight away emailed the seller whose only response was "can you send a photo of the scratches because when it left here it had none" along with singing his own praises at what a long term great record seller he was.So a record thats condition should equate to "has more than likely never been played" supposedly got in the state it was received in by me attempting to play if once!
Discogs don't appear interested in returns just advising to take it up via the payment method - which could well account for sellers feeling confident in getting away with their dodgy practices as there appears to be no comeback despite their grading guidelines being clear. According to other reviews retaliatory feedback is commonplace for sellers. Which really isn't likely to deter me from leaving negative feedback to warn other potential victims of what to expect because I won't be risking buying from Discogs again.

Edit 14 July 2019:
Discogs response is basically an attempt at damage limitation but is transparent as they are selective in the points they partially adrress. They advise to rely on feedback in order to assess the sellers reputation. Although they no make mention of the retaliatory feedback they allow, which I mentioned in my review, even thought this actively deters buyers leaving negative feedback for fear of a tit-for-tat response. This is the very reason ebay stopped this practice. So if even ebay offer better buyer protection than Discogs, I rest my case.
Reply from Discogs
Hi there,

We're sorry to hear you received records in a condition other than you expected! 

On Discogs, we do ask sellers to follow the Goldmine Standards for grading items, as you mentioned. 
https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001566193-How-To-Grade-Items

We do take action against sellers who have a reported history of mis-grading items.

In addition, we ask buyers to carefully review a seller's feedback history before placing and order. This way, you will have a general idea of whether or not the seller has met the expectations of previous buyers.

Because Discogs does not have access to the physical item, either before or after purchase, we are unable to mediate these grading disputes. That's why we encourage the buyer and seller to come to an agreement. Most sellers are willing to process refunds. When that's not possible, the last step is to check with your payment provider to see what sort of protection you're offered. While we wish we could offer more, these truly are the best steps to finding a resolution. We hope you are able to do so.

Album Touts

When I first checked out Discogs, I was excited at the thought of meeting like minded , friendly vinyl lovers....However I quickly discovered it is a perfect spot for Vinyl touts, who quickly snap up several copies of anything remotely limited edition, and then advertise on Discogs at very inflated prices. My advice..move quick to satisfy your vinyl needs elsewhere and avoid this site.

weak forms of protection against scammers

My experience is that DiscoGS must be a magnet for dishonest people willing to sell their trashy records for good bucks. Moreover, they are often very nasty. Most of the records I've bought over the years were largely overgraded and I never got one cent back - there is practically no protection for the buyer. Furthermore, the retaliation system is routinely applied, that is, if you leave a negative feedback for a dishonest seller, you get it back (like it happened on eBay many years ago). Many listed records are not actually available (the seller spends nothing to list them). They are like mirrors for larks. It happened to me once that either 3 or 4 records were not available (now I don't remember) out of a total of some 30 LPs I had ordered. Thus I asked for the cancellation of the order (as it happens, the missing records were the most important for me), but the result in the end was I got a negative feedback and a "non paying buyer" mark.
