One thing that I do to protect myself when selling ( NO I DON'T TRUST
ANYONE, sorry...) is
quite simple. Send the goods UPS COD. The items will not be delivered
without being paid for.
I pick up half the COD charge as a gratuity. COD is 4.75 a box. I knock of
1/2 of this from the total transaction price.
This way the buyer knows I'm a nice dude to sport 1/2 the cost of the COD
and usually the parties are happy.
As far as *trading* through the mail...well, I don't know *how* to
guarantee a trade. Blind faith and trust in the
inherent goodness of all people?
====================More notes, slightly off the IDM plateau
:=================================
I have a decent collection of original Detroit ( techno ) vinyl, but it
needs to grow. Whats the best Detroit website?
Are there other lists than the one on hyperreal? ( which is *great* by the
way )
Also...
Hip Hop lists?
Thanks to those folks who emailed me privately for my list. Its a small
one but its a start of a much longer
weeding out process. I will take no more names for this sale. I need to
keep the competition factor
limited.
And lastly, thanks for the response(s) on salsa drum and bass.
and I have no opinions on Marylyn Manson, except that their debut white
label on Replex with the
guest appearance by Richard James ( 100 copies ) stands most prominently
in my "most collectible" vinyl pile.
