a. How to Submit a list:
Go to The Record Swap page and click on
the link "Submit a List". This page has two major
fields. Trade list and Want list. In the trade list please
type (or paste from an existing list) all the records you have
for trade in the format given in section B of this document. Please also
add any contact information (IM, references ...). The
second field is the want list. In here you will fill in all your
wants in the same format as the trades. The remaining fields are for
Full Names (first name, family/last name), self chosen password
and your current email address.
Note: Your email address is automatically added to your list in a
spam proof way. Also if you do not use your Full Name,
your list will be deleted.
Further Notes: Do not post CDs. No one cares. I will delete lists posted with CDs listed,
unless they are some impossibly rare or hard to find CDs (which I can't think of even one).
b. How to format your list:
Every item on your lists, must be line by line statistically complete. Like
the following example:
American Nightmare - s/t Bridge 9 -blue tour #29/300
American Nightmare - s/t Bridge 9 -mosh camp
Otherwise, the search engine will not properly display
all matching results, as shown in the following example.
If someone was to search for "American Nightmare mosh camp", the following list
would not be matched.
American Nightmare - s/t Bridge 9 -blue tour #29/300
-mosh camp
c. How to search for an item:
Say you are looking for judge bringin it down on green vinyl,
but you
aren't sure whether someone spelled "bringin" with an ending
'g' or not. All you
need to do is search for "judge green", and any judge
gear that is green
will be brought up, including any green shirts, if they exist.
