TRADES

[RAJ]

How many of you out there trade records these days? I probably trade like twice a year and only with homies. Too much song and dance involved for me... You get on someone's ballz about wanting a record and they expect the fucking sun, moon, and stars. It's much easier for me to outbid some dude on eBay... or better... swap MP3s.DISCUSS

What's up with the mad flakey ring worm on the back of Axe - Seriously Deep? Worth a $10 Manne addition if you asked me.

I've done some cool trades with dudes on here.

I was in Piscataway on Thursday... bought 105 records for 2 bills. Meters - Struttin', Meters - S/T, First Kool and the Gang, Bohannon - Stop and Go... not a bad haul at all.

trades can work out good for everyone: but it's usually best if they are done in person - there's a few local cats around here that I swap with - one even takes 45s in trade for 'raer greens'...

long distance trades often run like:

'you want this?'

'yeah'

'what do you have?'

'well, what are you looking for?'

ad infinitum....

Usually only with the hommies, maybe a handful of times a year... whenever I offer a record in the, say, $50 range on SoulStrut, dudes wanna nickel and dime me with ten $5 records...

"trading down"

"trading down"

Saying though.

My personal rule is that if you want one of my pieces you better come with no more than two of your own.

Seriously though... I should have been more specific about on-line trades. I get foreign guys sending me sound clips and no titles... I do a bit of wet mouthing and the guys got me doing a tapdance trying to fork over trades...

sometimes you gotta take a step back.

ain't no particular record so important that I'm gonna romance some dude for it.

Yep In person only.

"Is this your trade pile?"
"Yes"
"here is my trade pile"


Real easy.

I don't trade if I don't get an artist & title. Maybe it's good for producers, but a 10-second 24-kbps realaudio break doesn't tell me very much.

I've had pretty good luck trading with people on this board... probably bought from or traded with 2 dozen of the regulars. The bigger problem lately is I haven't found enough good titles to trade,

A lot of the stuff I want rid of isn't of the good trade variety, that's the stuff that ebay's good for. Unless people are willing to turn minimal house 12"s into free jazz raers.

Oh yeah, I forgot--I actually have had some good trade experiences with ol' handcorkassrock.

This will sound "tubeaux", but I've made some good eFriends throught trading records here. I think having similar taste is key. It's great when you can be like "hey dude, I found an extra copy of this. You will dig it.", etc. It's ideal when you don't worry about always getting "the better deal", and if something is not totally even you can carry it over till the next time. That said, some people are just totally impossible to trade with. period. If I ge a bad feeling from someone I tend to just blow it off.

Now, what I wanna know is how come everytime I need some $10 record & I post in the trade forum no one ever "has my back"? I've sent you bastards covers when you needed 'em & all kinda shit! weak...

Crink... I found the Dionne Warwick Moder Soul killer last week for $2. Thank you for pulling your auction.

King Moist and I were able to work out a fine trade last fall. Saul good on this side, plus it's kind fun, the whole process that is. Reviewing each others lists, making offers, doing creative packaging, etc.

I cosign with aggression on this one hommie. I'd rather just buy and hoard.
