I started this over in the flea market a while back and neglected it, plus that thread got a little long, so I'm removing there and recreating here where it belongs. Sorry I was still really new when first created it...
OK, here's my take on how the whole thing should work:
People will attach a list (or a link to a list as I have) on this thread of CDs they are willing to trade wth, the more the better. The idea of posting of lists is to expose each other to stuff that maybe we've not heard of...The idea here is mostly to expose each other to different types of music.
People will also post any requests on this thread as well. These requests can be for specific CDs or just a music style in general (maybe I've never heard good Bluegrass and I want to hear some).
Everyone will see the lists and requests and trade will just happen naturally. I'd say that the receiver of the item covers shipping costs, which should be minimal, but the parties involved can do whatever they wish.
The idea is not to create a permanent trading program, though trades can be made permanent if both parties agree. I'm thinking temporary trades for the most part. I send you a CD, you listen to it a while and decide if you like it. If you really like it, maybe we can work something out or you can just send it back to me and go buy a copy. There will be no public discussion or knowledge of any copying.
I know that my idea is not very practical with hundreds of people in a forum becuase it would get too messy, but we've only got a few regulars on here...I think it'll work okay...
So I'll start by posting my list. This list is not even close to complete, and honestly is a little outdated. In fact there may be a couple on here I don't have anymore...but this at least gets us started...I'll be updating my list over the next weeks as time permits...
