O/T: Discogs

As of now. they only send out email notifications twice a day, as a summary
of “newly listed” items at the moment the email is sent out. I usually get the
email in the morning and evening. If someone lists something in the
afternoon, and it gets sold right away, it won’t appear in the email digest.

What’s an example of something you previously missed out on?

https://www.discogs.com/settings/notifications

You can see your notification settings at that link. Check mark the boxes for "When a release in my wantlist is listed for sale." The emails are only sent out twice a day, but as I mentioned, some buyers will check for items more often throughout the day.

The link that says "Items I Want" will give you a current list of items for sale from your want list, ranked by "Listed newest." "Listed newest" can be a new item that has just come up for sale OR an item that was changed/relisted by the seller. For example, if I've had something in my store for a long time but I change the price, it will then show up at the top as if it were newly listed.

The people who are snagging items quickly are simply checking the "items I want" link often and not waiting for the email notification: https://www.discogs.com/sell/mywants

Thanks for the info, Aaron. Right now, Discogs has me locked out. (I tried to
log in too many times. And it says to try again in a few hours). So hopefully I
can get this fixed soon.
