My Trading Rules
In an effort to retain some sanity.  I decided to get a little more in depth on my rules.  Evidently people don't understand what DAO is, or they say they do but record TAO.  So here goes my rules for idiots.  No offense, but you can only answer a question so many times before you lose your patience.  I really do enjoy trading, but I'm an asshole at heart when it comes to incompetence, so all I ask is that you read these easy to follow  rules. 
For Cds
1.  If you contact me, you will send first, no exceptions, I don't care how you would like to do it, if you email me 1st, you send first. I have more then enough references listed on my good traders list to prove that I will not screw you over. 
2.  Record all CDS Disc At Once.  This means that there are no gaps in between songs. 
3.  No Mp3 shows.  I have no problem with them, but then a lot of people refuse to accept them in trades so they are only serving half the purpose I want them for.  4.  CDS only, no cassettes.
5.  I do not send Jewel Cases. 
6.  Do not write on the CDS, a post it note or slip of paper will suffice.
7.  If you have a setlist, please send it, if I have it for the show, I'll send it as well.  
For Vhs
1.  Please do not send me something recorded in SLP or EP mode.  Sometimes a show can only  be recorded in that mode, that is fine just let me know.  I'll do the same for you. 
2.  If you know the generation of the show, I'd appreciate knowing that as well. 
3.  Be Kind, Rewind. 
4.  Do not write on the labels, a post it note or slip of paper in the jacket will suffice, send the blank label to me and I'll fill in the info. 
In General
1.  I go by the following rules for a video into CD trade.  For every One (1) VHS that I send you, I ask for Two (2) CD SHOWS.  What this means is that when I tape a VHS for you, first off the VHS is obviously much more costly then CDs and shipping might even become a factor when dealing with several shows.  So to try and balance the trade, I prefer to trade this way.  I'm not the only one and a lot of other people do this as well.  If I am asking for videos and you are asking for CDS, I'll do the same thing. 
2.  I take all trades in the order they come.  Please keep in mind that I do not high speed record Videos, so it takes real time to record.  A two hour show takes two hours.  Cds I can do much faster, but videos take some time.  I will however get them done as soon as I can.  Like you though, I have a job, I go to school and I have a life, please keep that in mind. 
3.  I send Priorty, I'd expect the same but if you don't want to, let me know. 
4.  Be honest on when you are going to ship, this is a problem that I have and I'm trying to correct it, but if when you say you'll ship on Monday and you really mean Thursday, please let me know when you ship it, not when you plan on shipping. 
5.  Check out what I have coming in, that way you can see how busy I am (if I'm expecting that many shows, that's how many shows I'm copying) and then you can also see what I will have shortly.  Everything that is on there is confirmed to be sent, not what I want.

CDS listed under my Collection Page ARE NOT FOR TRADE.  I love U2 and have spent enough money on official releases to put one of their kids through college.  I suggest you do the same for them.  Buy their CDS, T-shirts, Videos, Posters, Support them and every other artist.
