DiscTrade

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Isaac, the maker of DiscTrade — an AI-powered vinyl marketplace built to be a faster, simpler alternative to Discogs. Grading records and filling out listings on Discogs isn’t easy — it takes niche knowledge, serious time, and years of collecting experience. We’re changing that. With DiscTrade, anyone can list a record in seconds. Just snap photos of the jacket, media, and label — our AI handles the grading and pulls key info automatically. No guesswork. No endless form fields. Whether you’re a longtime collector or just getting into vinyl, DiscTrade makes it easy to sell — no learning curve required. We’ve combined this with secure Stripe checkout, direct messaging, and a clean interface designed for today’s mobile-first audience. And for buyers, every listing includes clear photos of exactly what you’re getting — no surprises, no vague condition notes, no relying on someone’s “VG+” guesswork like on Discogs. Our goal isn’t just to compete with Discogs — it’s to build something fundamentally better, and ultimately bigger. While Discogs remains a closed, privately held platform, we’re building DiscTrade as a transparent, community-aligned C Corporation with long-term scalability in mind. Would love your feedback — especially if you’ve felt the pain of listing on Discogs. This is just the beginning.
