Trade Status (as of November 18, 2007):
I am currently not accepting any new trades of any kind. Unless we have a previous arrangement please do not email me as I just can't do any trading at the moment. I'm sorry.
When and if I do start trading again it will be on an extremely limited basis at first.
UPDATE: I have been able to recover all of the shows I lost when my external drive crashed. There are about 10 (or less) shows for artists other than Fleetwood Mac that I still cannot trade as they are on DVD data discs that have unreadable sectors causing a few of the tracks to not copy to the hard drive for burning. They are marked as un-tradeable and I am doing my best to recover these shows.
Please note that some of the recordings on this site are MP3-sourced. At this time I have not gone through each and every recording I have to check it for being lossless/lossy so your only guarantee of getting something lossless is to check for "Source/Lineage" information with the disc(s). I am currently working on replacing my MP3-sourced shows with lossless FLAC or SHN sourced shows and will always include sourcing information with the new shows. If you dislike MP3's or have any questions whatsoever about any disc please do not hesitate to ask before setting up a trade.
I am now actively looking for pre-1975 Fleetwood Mac and Time-era recordings of any kind (shows, demos, outtakes, rare and out of print, etc.). Please make sure that if you trade anything from either of these eras with me that you include a setlist in some format (web, email, with the discs) with each disc!
Please make sure to include the correct number of discs and the return postage with 2 for 1 trades!! If you do not, I will email you about it one time and will not burn the discs until the correct amount of discs and/or postage is received!!
NOTHING on this site is for sale. Do not email me asking to sell anything or asking me to buy anything. I will not respond to you.
I have put my "other artists" pages up again. Because these pages are up and a particular artist is listed does not mean I am always willing to trade for them. I want to get my Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks collection as close to complete as possible before focusing on other artists. However, if you have any boots by the following that I do not have please do not hesitate to contact me for a trade: The Eagles, Don Henley (solo) and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (especially if Stevie Nicks is guesting).
Bad Traders
"Good trading experiences are built on trust.
And when that trust is broken, there will always be the 'Bad Traders' section awaiting those who broke it."
I have decided to start putting the names and contact information (email addresses, etc.) of individuals I have had a bad trading experience with on the front page of my trade site. I'm not doing this to be unnecessarily nasty I just want this information to be easier to find for other traders.
I was once asked by someone in an email if I felt guilty or if I felt I was doing something "wrong" by putting the name, email address and, in some cases, mailing address of bad traders on the Internet. My answer to that question then, as it is now, is a firm "no". The person(s) who burned me in a trade obviously didn't feel guilty or wrong about what they did or they wouldn't have done it. So, I do not feel guilty or wrong about letting other honest traders know that they should either avoid that person altogether or use caution when dealing with that person.
Thankfully, my bad traders list is a short one at the moment. Ninety-eight percent of the trades I've done in the past several years have been positive. But, for the few that weren't...
Name (as was given to me): David Rice
Email Address: silverspringsmac03@yahoo.com
Web Site Address: No web site that I know of
Contact Address: David Rice/DPR 914 Curlew Rd. #114 Dunedin, Fl 34698
Details: "David" and I made a trade deal for 3 discs (FM "Who's the New Girl (1 CD) & FM live in Sydney, Australia 3/15/80 (2 CD's)) for the FM Cleveland Gund Arena DVD. I mailed my half of the trade on Thursday, May 22, 2003. I received an email from David on May 24, 2003 stating that he was burning DVD's over the Memorial Day weekend and would mail them out after the holiday. I still have not received the DVD and seriously doubt I ever will. Several other extremely honest and reliable Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks traders have been ripped off by this guy.
If I receive the DVD (which I know will happen when, to quote the Eagles, "Hell Freezes Over") I will gladly remove this info. Until then, it will remain here and on the "bad traders" page of the Bootleg FAQ as well.
