joessportster Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 just a thought i have, was wondering if any one would be interested in a thread dedicated to listing vinyl that we would have and be willing to trade for whatever someone else may post for trade. not interested in making money on this in fact each person should pay to ship there trades by an agreed upon method, and albums graded according to goldmine standards SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK????????

lwhaples Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Joe, I'd be interested.But may not have much to trade,always adding to what I have.The local record store has alot,and may be a source for some. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 we've kind of been doing this informally, although I have been generally buying. Time to give it all a listen and pass the good fortune down to the next guy... Garymd has been a constant source of 'found' LP's over the past year.

garymd Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I find a lot of nice LPs at the thrift shop for a buck and even if I already have a copy, I usually pick it up knowing someone here will want it. I usually end up losing money but we're not talking big bucks here. I'm at the point where I'm trying to get rid of many of my old classic rock LPs and I have a couple folks I need to put packages together for. If something shows up that looks interesting, I'd certainly be willing to do some trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 A few years ago I used to trade all the time with both dealers and collectors. I'd run across something cool, let's say a nice clean "New Soil" deep groove or something and I'd call Jack Brown in New York and say "what do you have for trade" and he'd run down a list and finally he'd say "how about a "2 Trumpets" and since this was an early Prestige with Donald Byrd that I didn't have I'd say "cool" and the records would pass in the mail. He'd sell the "New Soil" for more than he was asking for the "2 Trumpets" LP and we'd BOTH be stoked. This all ended in 2000 when ebay took off. All of a sudded a guy like me who is primarily a COLLECTOR had a way to market records to the entire jazz record collector world. The old-time dealers soon started selling on ebay too and the "old school" way ended forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauln Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I've got a whole box full of vinyl I'd love to trade/sell/give away (in some cases). This is a great idea! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Sorry! It just struck me funny but in retrospect it probably wasn't the best way to begin a negotiation! Now, what the heck would I have that you don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 That's the problem with trading. Finding someone to trade with. I have THREE original 4013s right now--one Stereo and two monos. One of the monos is dead mint,the other VG. The Stereo I've had for years and it's mint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrt Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I think it's a great idea as well, and I would suggest that people post what they are looking for as well as what they have to offer. I haven't looked at them closely, but I've got several very old (acetate maybe?) Columbia Masterwork albums that I picked up at the Public Library. They are in good shape, but I have no idea what they sound like or whether they use the RIAA curve. They are probably 78's. You remember the old albums that came in a group of 6 or so in the big-*** binder? Does anyone collect these? It seems a shame to leave them in my basement. I have some 'normal' albums I could easily trade off as well. I find I'm not much a fan of John Coltrane so I could easily lose some of his stuff. No, I don't have anything really rare or extraordinary. Have to look to see what else I have. There are three albums I'm currently looking for: Van Morrison- Astral Weeks & St. Dominic's Preview (I have a copy of the latter, but I want a cleaner copy) Magic Sam- West Side Soul (can't find that one ANYwhere!) Problem is that most people with albums nowadays are people that collect albums. I find it difficult to get rid of stuff- even stuff I don't listen to much. I bet a lot of us are like that- we want, but we don't want to give up. Cheers, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
