stinky DVD cases.

gilligan fanatic · 07-27-2006, 10:45 PM

I don't go around sniffing them, but I don't think I have ever had a smelly one.

digitalmonkey · 07-27-2006, 10:50 PM

I have a few, we can arrange a trade if you're interested.

well usually all of my discs go out stinky

i make it a point to rub them in my underarms for 30 seconds each

just a little extra touch that lamont does
to make my discs stand out from the rest

Just so long as no sheep are involved.

- When someone goes against clearly stated TOS (no selling, no trading for blanks) & asks for ~75 discs worth of shows, when they have nothing to trade.

- When someone asks for 29 discs worth of shows & has nothing you want in return, so you tell them "sorry, there's nothing on your list I want - good luck" and the next day, they ask again.

- When a newbie you've turned down 4 times (in the previous 4 weeks), pulls up a quote from one of your posts about "I've done trades before that I otherwise would not have, because the trader was a newbie & didn't have much I wanted from them. I don't MIND helping others who are starting out or who want shows I have. " and then asks "just wondered what you do in trying to maybe help get someone some shows on dvd starting out and all. " in an [apparent] attempt to force/guilt/strong arm a trade.

These are sure fire ways to insure the trader will never trade with you and to be added to their block/ignore list.

I realize it's hard to get started in trading. But it's also a topic that has been discussed here several times (including in the past month). I don't think any of the above tactics were offered up as suggestions.

I'm pretty lucky. There is a 99 cent shop where I live and they sell plastic sleeves, 50 and double sided, for a buck. Do all my storage and my trades using them. Take up little space in the house and I can put more in a envelope then previously when I used folded copy machine paper.

Members can sell as long as they don't make threads or posts about it. Is that right?

Lamont · 07-28-2006, 11:01 AM

selling is not allowed on the board
however if 2 members set up a sale via email
OFF THE BOARD
that is between them only
HOWEVER some traders do not sell at all and state so
and i think redwhine was refereing to that

b/c i know she does not sell ever

I CAN SECOND her on that issue
i get people who email me a list
and i decline
3 days later they email me the same list
?????
hello????

if u get something new then ask again
if not then how can they expect a different reply?

I believe that's correct. Personally, I have chosen to never sell but do not think any less of others who do, since that's how many of us got our collections started (by buying).
