For those of you who don't know, TANMUSHIMUSHI is a user on Discogs who has been posting Dubstep and various other records way above the market price, buying several copies of new and old releases and re-selling them at shocking prices. This user is not in it for the music, he is in it for the money. Today I will be sending a message to Discogs voicing some of the complaints from the community in relation to this user. Before I do I want your opinions and insights. The message I am sending is as follows:

User TANMUSHIMUSHI has gone against several of the user guidelines on Discogs including incorrect grading of item conditions, which can be seen here along with various other complaints (including un-insuring items): http://www.discogs.com/sell/seller_feed ... w=Negative.

As you can see from these reviews, this user has also taken to backlashing at negative comments and claiming the majority of them as false claims. You can see on several review replies that TANMUSHIMUSHI has called buyers, 'TWAT'.

I and the rest of the Dubstep community are outraged at the actions of this particular seller. TANMUSHIMUSHI has continuously posted items for sale way above their market value. Items typically go for around £55, even on items that have been sold previously for around average of £10 or less. These actions have had an effect on other sellers, encouraging them to bump up prices also. This user is seriously detrimental to Discogs itself, as TANMUSHIMUSHI pushes the average price of a record they are reducing the amount of people willing to buy new records and deter others from getting into record collecting, harming the future growth of the community.

Many users including myself and many labels even have made several complaints about this user but nothing seems to have been done.

I am therefore here to request the removal of this user from Discogs and banning him from the community.

I will be forwarding this message to other members of the community and will encourage them to complain also, voicing their own complaints.

WTF! sad state of affairs when a bunch of cry babies are blasting some dude for selling tunes. If you dont want to pay his price dont, but FFS this wack hate campaign is just F'in retarded.

Coming from, more than likely, a bunch of people wearing the latest "insert hip label here" clothes and shoes. Which cost a fraction of the price you pay, to make. I'm probably alone but big up Tanmushi, man's selling records not trying to end 3rd world poverty you whingers.!

Its probably why guys from Innamind, Four Tet ect. are against him and you aren't, while your label is basically defunct now.

Ouch! No my label is basically defunct because I made it go defunct.

The last release on your label was 150 pressing if I remember correctly (yeah I own it), if you would be happy for a load of those copies to be in the hands of someone who has absolutely no interest in the the music you've created or spent the time and money to push then you really shouldn't be putting out music

There are probably plenty of labels sat on plenty of stock they can't shift. Just because a shop says out of stock doesn't mean it's not available, it just means they 9/10 no longer wish to stock it.

yeah right, there's warehouses full of sought after early deep medi/innamind/lion charge/whathaveyou, its just most shops no longer wish to stock it

collector's market is one thing, and yeah i can appreciate someone paying 100+ $$$ for some rare disco 12" or reggae 7" thats been out of press for years, but records being put up on discogs for the same crazy prices, sometimes when they're still not even actually released and the guy putting it up just was lucky enough to pre-order before it sells out (at the detriment of those who want to buy the music to enjoy it and not on some make-money-quick-scheme) is a different thing altogether...

be serious
