Is MerchVice a Discogs for shirts?

That's the idea. Every design is filed under its band with its versions, and every fan's copy sits beside it. The difference is that fans build it from their own photos, and it's a community as much as a database.

Can I bring my Discogs collection over?

Yes. Export your Collection or Wantlist as a CSV from Discogs and upload it in Imports. You get bands to follow and merch to look for; your records stay on Discogs.

Do you show what an item is worth?

Only real, dated sold prices, and only once a design has enough sales to mean something. Nothing is estimated.

Can I keep records here too?

Yes. Records are an item type with their own details: size, speed, pressing and catalogue number.

MerchVice vs Discogs

Discogs did for records what nobody has done for shirts. MerchVice is that: every design on its band's page, every version filed, and every fan's copy beside it.

Checked October 2026. Every fact about Discogs here comes from its own help, fees and terms pages, each with its source and the day we read it.

The short answer

Discogs is the record collector's database and market: nearly every pressing, your Collection and Wantlist, and thousands of sellers.
MerchVice does the same for merch: every design filed under its band with its versions and every fan's copy, a closet for what you own, a Looking for list, trading between fans, and a feed that is newest first.
Use both. Keep your records on Discogs; export your Collection and Wantlist and bring them here as bands to follow and merch to look for.

Side by side

What matters	MerchVice	Discogs
Built for band merch	MerchViceYes Every page is about band merch: shirts, posters, records, pins and patches.	DiscogsPartly Built for records: the largest discography of physical music. Shirts and posters have no entry. Source
Find by band, tour and year	MerchViceYes Band pages, design pages, decade filters and shows, so a shirt finds its tour and its year.	DiscogsPartly Every record is filed by artist, label, year and format. Merch isn't in the database. Source
A closet for what you keep, and a Top 8	MerchViceYes Post what you own to show it off, not only to sell, and pick a Top 8 for your profile.	DiscogsPartly Collection keeps the albums you own, in up to 1,000 folders, with your own notes. Records only, and no Top 8. Source
Trading, item for item	MerchVicePartly Mark an item Open to trade today. The trade itself, with the item moving to its new owner, is coming.	DiscogsNo A marketplace of thousands of sellers. No item-for-item trade. Source
Date your shirt's tag	MerchViceYes Free: photograph the tag and get its era, with the sources, whether you join or not.	Discogs Nothing on its own pages says either way.
Free to show off and trade	MerchViceYes Free to show off and trade. Selling is coming, with one flat fee shown before you list.	DiscogsPartly Cataloguing your collection is free. Selling costs 9% of the item price plus shipping, at least $0.10 and at most $150. Source
Newest first, nothing ranked	MerchViceYes Newest first, for everyone who follows you. Nothing is ranked and nothing is paid to rank.	DiscogsPartly No social feed. Discogs is a database and a marketplace, not a social app. Source
No ads in the feed	MerchViceYes Nothing in the feed. Anything promoted sits beside it and says so.	DiscogsPartly No feed, so nothing to put ads in. Sellers' listings sit under each release. Source
Buying new from the band	MerchViceYes Bands claim their page free and put their official merch and store links on top.	DiscogsPartly Sellers list new and used records. Nothing marks a band's own store. Source
Following bands	MerchViceYes Follow bands, members and tags, and hear when they add new merch.	DiscogsPartly The Wantlist keeps tabs on the records you're looking for, and can tell you when one is for sale. Source
Taking your data with you	MerchViceYes Download everything you posted from Settings, any time, as files you can open.	DiscogsYes Export My Collection and Export My Wantlist give you a CSV from the website. Source
