re: Being a creative and social media pressure
A podcast recently was mentioning the origin of twitter and how, at the time, it seemed strange that there was a website where people just shared their current thoughts and/or actions. It made me think about how normalized that has become.

My eBay pro tip is to look for new auction posts, make a bid for the most you would pay for the thing, turn off all email notifications about being outbid and then forget about it. In a week you might win some and you'll forget about the ones you didn't, at least I do.

There's a street in downtown Cleveland called Robert Lockwood Jr Dr. Do you have any pics or things of him in your collection? I know he's from down your way!

Another one from a stack I was pricing for my sale list that I dropped a needle on and kind of want to keep. Ripping rock from Kansas City 1970.

Just found this in a stack of records and really liked it!
I'm surprised this isn't better known. Garage rock from Colorado Springs.

The 45s are organized A-Z aphabetically by last name of artist or first word of band name.
Country Gospel LPs are sorted by state of origin.

We're curious...how do you organize your record collection?
Alphabetically by artist? Chronologically by release date? Biographically by the date you added each record to your collection?
By genre? By album artwork/spine color? Another method we're not even thinking of?

Any other parents out there who are passionate about their work? I've struggled a lot the past two years with having time to do Dollar Country with taking care of a baby/toddler who I am also very in love with. How have you dealt with that balance?

I recently started selling a few personal items on discogs for the first time in close to a year. Already there is a different vibe. Immediately got 3 messages from users claiming to be from discogs asking me to click a link to verify my account. Half the orderers aren't paying or communicating.

I'm updating my sale list. That's where I put all the odd country, doubles, small label, and non-country records I want to sell. Basically stuff that's too good to sell in bulk.
I send out an email with the list. Wanna be on the email? Drop me a line with your address and I'll make sure you get it.

I thought it would be fun to have the state pages on my database have a picture of the state flower representing them and this has sent me down the path of finding many beautiful old drawings of flowers.

A $300 record doesn't feel so rare when you realize it only pays for 1 week at an inexpensive daycare.
I'm selling records to pay for day care, and it's a strange feeling to sell records that I feel are very rare and worth a lot and then realize that they won't even pay for a month of it.

This is one I've held on to for years. It's not a record I love, but it's so rare that trying to sell it causes me a bit of anxiety. This is an original 1960 stereo pressing that has been well loved. It has one skip that I couldn't fix, but it's just so damn rare that it still demands a decent price

Selling off some of my personal collection to help pay for child care. Let me know if you want anything!

Look, I know I'm not going to find the long lost Hank Williams recordings that no one ever dreamed of, but when I flip over an acetate with a label like this it really gives me a jolt. Because you never know.

This thread opened up some stuff for me. Firstly I found out that there were two limited production models of Technic 1200s with 78 functionality (most don't have it), AND that there is another known copy of the Sheppard Bros and I know the person who found it!
Also there is only one known copy of the Sheppard Bros 78 and I believe Bear Family has it, so I'm not sure if they were showing the actual copy, but I would assume the owner would not have allowed it to be used by someone who very obviously didn't know anything about playing 78s.
I watched the King Records documentary and have the most niche, grumpy old man complaint that I just had to share.
They show a copy of the Sheperd Bros 78 being played on a Technics 1200 turntable. But those tables don't have a 78 setting, and they played it at 33 with a modern needle.
