  • Anyone had any dealings with Vinyl Pimp in Hackney Wick?

    I added something to my basket on Discogs from the seller and noticed it said I can elect to collect from them. I also noticed that they have a lot of stuff on my wants list and a large inventory.

    It doesn’t seem like a standard shop you can go to and browse though, unless I’m wrong. More like a pick up point for a warehouse where they are storing people’s collections who they are selling on behalf of, or something.

    I guess I will trawl through their stock and buy stuff to pick up, but it’s not the same as digging IRL. Plus you spend enough and get free shipping anyway.

  • They do store collections of the kind of people who have a lot of vinyl they don't want any more. Industry types and DJ's were selling through them in the beginning. I tried to sell them a load but when they realised I had a complete list of the items and knew the values they weren't interested. In fairness they don't want collections that have had the best cherry picked from them.

  • My mate has just asked one of these companies in Bath to look at his collection (1000+). I have a feeling he has some real gems in his collection (mainly house from late '80 onwards). It will be interesting what they offer him, I have warned him to be wary.
