I was reading posts in the 'dodgy record store' thread and came across one post that mentioned this link so decided to check it out. I was wondering, from those of you who have used it, how reliable this website is because I'm a little skeptical on the idea for now. Is it a good place to get those hidden gems that nobody can find anymore?
cheap and quickly. But afaik, they list many different record stores, so I would always take a look at the store's user rating (like ebay)

i think the original poster may have been misinformed as to what gemm is.
Gemm is not a single music store (as djdawn mentioned), but a portal for many independent collectors to sell off their vinyl.
Each seller is given a rating, and if you follow the ratings you won’t have trouble.
Always make email contact with the seller first to ensure they ship to your country, and have the piece in stock. Often they may redirect you to their website so you don’t have to pay the gemm.com fee's.
I’ve used gemm a handful of times, and never had a problem. As well, found some really obscure/rare pieces there.

I think you should only keep seller rating in mind while buying, otherwise it's a great site, ordered some records from it 3 or 4 times, no problem

Thanks for your order Jesse, by the way it seem that your card has not
enough funds for it.
In order to pay by AMERICAN EXPRESS, VISA or MASTERCARD you should be so
kind to email me your credit card details in two or more separate
emails.
I mainly need the card number, the expiration day and the cardholder
name.
That looked way dodgy, so I didnt return any emails. This is a place called Link Records, www.link-records.com
