Please take a few minutes to look over the rules here, then use the links at the bottom of this page to navigate through the many pages of my site. For the most part these rules are common sense, but feel free to ask if you are a newbie.
One important note: "Official" realeases that I have are posted here for reference only, THEY ARE NOT FOR TRADE/SALE.
I'd just like to say that I have listened to every second of every minute of every bootleg listed on my site. I try my absolute hardest to post only accurate information here in regards to setlists, dates and locations of shows, and sound qualities. If you ever notice any information that you belive to be inaccurate, please bring it to my attention.
I've been ripped off a few times in the past, so if it's our first trade you can expect to send first, and don't expect to receive my half of the trade if I'm not satisfied.
If you are new to trading live shows, you should check out 5 or 10 tape trading sites and look at the rules that each person has listed, most are common sense after you have done this for a while. Even so, you should try to respect each person individual preferences as much as possible. Speaking of respecting each person's opinion, i know there is a growing debate as to the use of mp3s as a trading format. I do have some shows listed here that have been encoded to mp3, so if you are one of those people that doesn't want an mp3 show, let me know about that and I'll make sure not to offer one of those to you.
This is what you will get from me: audios on Maxell or TDK SA type 2, 90min tapes, videos on premium grade T-120 or T-160 tapes, and CD-R's on Maxell or Memorex 80 minute CD-R's. I will write the date and location of the show on the back of the stickers, put the tapes in a PADDED MAILER and mail FIRST CLASS. I don't use high speed dubbing or dolby noise reduction. I will not split songs between sides of the cassettes, unless it is that way in the copy I have, you will see a note of that on my page. I use only SP mode for vids and I can only do NTSC format (no Beta either). CD-R's are burnt Disk-at-Once (DAO), and I usually don't send cases with CD-Rs. I do not trade in DVD or VCD at this time.
This is what I'd like you to send me: NEW Maxell or TDK SA type 2, 90 min audio cassettes NO EXCEPTIONS. Videos will be on Sony premium grade or Maxell highest grade NO EXCEPTIONS. No high speed dubbing or dolby noise reduction. High Quality CD-R's only, no generic CD-R's. CD-R's must be "Disk-at-Once". Do not split songs between sides of cassettes, if it is that way on the copy you have, simply tell me before we trade. Use only SP mode for vids. If you have a j-card printing program, please use it, if not, just write the date and location on the back on the stickers. You will use a PADDED MAILER, AND INCLUDE THE CASES WHEN YOU MAIL FIRST CLASS ON THE DATE WE AGREE TO. Please don't use cheap CD-R's and let me know your preference on sending cases.
Now I know all of that seems like common sense, but there are a few stupid people out there that don't understand the common practices of us traders. If for some reason you have any questions about my rules, ask BEFORE we trade. If your rules/preference differ from mine, ask and we will discuss the possibility of a compromise.
IF WE TRADE AND YOU DO NOT FOLLOW EVERY ONE OF MY RULES, YOU WILL BE BLACKLISTED AS A BAD TRADER.
