Discogs is a site to avoid, if you are a professional or a collector avoid the discogs site and I'll tell you why. First of all, all the descriptions of the various albums, singles, etc. they are not written by professionals in the sector, but rather they are written by any user who registers on the discogs platform, users even without any experience, without any knowledge of the sector and without any knowledge of the history of the band and the album or single, reason for which on the discogs site most of the album information is completely wrong, full of nonsense, just compare some official sites of music bands with discogs to understand that discogs is full of completely wrong descriptions and nonsense. Even worse for purchases, in fact the discogs site is highly discouraged and dangerous for purchases, the reason is simple, the discogs site does not protect the buyer in case of scams or problems with the seller, for example for material not received and not shipped by the seller or for material received but not compliant with the order, or for unauthorized transactions, etc., assistance on the discogs site is completely non-existent. Every user who purchases on the discogs site must estimate that he is dangerously exposed to economic and financial risks... so to conclude the question is... the discogs site is a reliable site to find information and to make purchases?! Absolutely not! If you want to find certain, safe and reliable information, contact an expert in the sector and do not rely on the nonsense published on discogs and written by any inexperienced user who signs up on discogs, and to buy rely on sites that assist and protect the buyer in case of scams or in case the seller is unprofessional and fair. Avoid discogs! Best regards.
