Browsing the catalog
The catalog is a single shared list of records that every seller can list against. When you search for Throbbing Gristle — Mission Of Dead Souls, you see one catalog entry — and beneath it, all the active listings from individual sellers, with their condition, photos and prices.
Two main entry points
- Catalog search. Top of every page. Type a title, artist, label or catalog number. Filters let you narrow by format, genre, price range and condition.
- Auction blocks. Themed, time-boxed sales — for example "Industrial Classics 1980–1985" or a label-focused block. Curated by Frank, time-limited, bidding-only. See the Auctions tab in the top navigation.
What you see on a listing
Each catalog entry combines:
- Metadata (artist, title, label, year, catalog number, tracklist where known)
- A primary cover image
- All active offers from individual sellers — each with its own condition grade, price, photos and seller profile
- An optional auction block context, if the item is part of one
If the same release is offered by multiple sellers, you can sort by price, condition or seller rating.
Hidden until ready
We only show items that have been stocktaken and verified by their seller — items without photos and condition data are excluded from public listings. This keeps the catalog honest at the cost of being smaller than a typical open marketplace.
Saved items
Any registered account (including Browse) can save listings to a personal watchlist. The watchlist tells you when an item's auction ends, when the price changes, and when a similar item appears.
