All Tradable Non-Tradable

I took this entire policy wholesale from my friend Nick and made only a? few alterations from his, so many thanks to him for letting me not only steal but alter his policy.

Obvious - Nothing here is for sale. I'm trading free music for free music.

CDRs - This is my preferred trading format.

Shipping - I mail out your CDRs in secure padded envelopes. Discs only (in paper sleeves), no sense in us mailing each other jewel cases. I don't care how you mail your end as long as it gets here in one piece.

Quality -  I use name brand CDRs. I prefer you do the same. If you choose not to, but I'm still able to use your disc (listen to it, copy it for backup or future trades), I won't complain. I copy DAO. I prefer you do the same, but I won't go insane with anger if you don't.

Source - Many people are ultra-picky about the source of a recording. I'm not. I don't know a lot about the source of the recordings I have. I do know all of these recordings are of high enough quality to listen to and enjoy regularly. Beyond that, I can't give you a lot of info. Most are from trades. Some are from downloads. None are store-bought bootlegs. I wouldn't buy a bootleg in a store.
I understand some people don't like to trade for mp3 based boots. That is their right. All boots with a wavy line ~ before the title are from mp3s. Those with a pound sign # before the title are not from mp3s (or any other type of compressed file).

Ratings - A lot of people rate the recordings on their list. I don't. Ratings are subjective. I'm afraid I'll give something an A and some guy'll get pissed off because the recording in question is clearly an A-. I'll be glad to answer any sound quality questions you may have to the best of my ability. You should know, however, that I will not send you a copy of anything without first listening to it myself. I'll also let you know if there are any clicks, skips, etc. in the recording. I'm not out to rip anyone off.

Quantity - If you're interested in a large trade (more than 10 or 12 discs) I've found it's easier on both of us if we break it up into 2 or more smaller trades. Less work and less risk.

Guarantee - If you are not satisfied with the quality of a disc or if there was some error in recording it, I'll gladly replace it.

There you have it. I hope this is liberal and easy-going. My goal is to offer a welcoming, jerk-free? trading environment? that won't chase anyone away as many policies have done to me. I find a lot of policies full of anger and threats. Maybe these people have their reasons, but? I get the vibe from some policies that if I dealt with their writers, it would be like making a deal with nervous, paranoid mobsters with itchy trigger fingers. In other words, I feel I'm better off taking my collection and love of music elsewhere.

Anyway, I'm just looking for a fair and honest trade because I love music. If you're looking for the same, send me a line.

Sincerely,

John
