Don't get me wrong, I've made many a good trade over there (stoked to get Sylvers III just last week for a great deal) but.... is it me or is most everybody over there dudes w/ 5 posts that either supposedly have every raer in NM/NM condition for trade. Or almost worst when someone has a record you really want but they only have like 17 posts, I usually just balk since I don't really know em. (or because they don't respond to their pm's) Can anybody vouch for any of these people w/ under 100 posts? That would be much appreciated. and for those sellers, why not stick around, maybe drop some knowledge and get a little name going for yourself before jumping in, just a thought...DISCUSS

    A lot of cats have like 17 posts but a totally legit ebay and real world rep... best to ask around. Also a lot of cats have dealt privately over this board, references shouldn' be too tough to come by. I've been able to check out dudes ( ) pretty easily when in doubt.

    I posted what I figured was a "pipe dream" want
    last week, and 5 days later I had a NM/NM promo
    copy in my hands ... it was from an OG Strutter,
    though, so your newbie concerns aren't really related ...
    just pointing out that despite the strong chance
    that posting a want for a desirable record will
    get chirped, it's still worth a try ...

    It's things like this that make me glad I'm a little dude.



    Yeah, I just said that.

    Which LP?

    Johnny Zamot, "Tell It Like It Is" on Decca -
    not a massively rare record, but I have posted
    wants for not incredibly expensive yet highly
    desirable albums before and got no response ... but
    in this case I had just lost out on one on eBay and
    got this copy, which was in better condition, for $15
    less than the one on eBay had ended at ... and I picked
    up another highly desired LP from the same person in
    the same transaction, so I am feeling pretty good about
    the trades section now.

    So, now let's talk about the sales forum, where people
    try to set sale $20 Allen Toussaint LP's for $60

    Trades section is just kind of boring. Lots of insane requests and awful trade lists. RPM soundtrack indeed. It makes buying a record with cash look easy.

    I still trade a handful of times a month, but mainly with people I'm friends with, so when an interesting record comes in I don't post it for the most part.

    This thread is funny.

    Guy A: "dude nobody posts cool stuff to trade in the trades section"
    Guy B: "yeah I know. I never see interesting rare records for trade in there"
    Guy A: "guys always want some crazy rare record like as if there are tons of spare copies around and everyone has one to trade!"
    Guy C: "uh, guys..."

    I like the wants/trades section. Sometimes you get responses and sometimes you don't, and that's pretty much the luck of the draw and who happens to check it and so forth.

    But yeah, 17 posts and under and I won't be doing trades with you. 18 posts is a whole different ballgame though!

    Just the record geek scene in microcausm.

    BTW by "interesting" I don't mean "rare." My india navigation catalog could use some fleshing out, etc. I am just not interested in VG nite liters or whatever.

    Do you want a clean copy of the Chico Freeman LP? I'll send it to you if you do.

    That forum has been very good to me - people have been very nice and reasonable.
