1. As I said on my cd-list, I only care for pure digital sources. That means no MP-3s, and no analog generations if a digital source is available.

2. Because I only care for digital sources, I also care about the source information. Please offer me shows that have their complete lineages. If you don't care to keep track of that kind of information all hope is not lost - I'm pretty good about offering b&ps to people who ask nicely (see note below).

3. I am conscientious about good DAE and DAO burning. I expect the people I trade with to be the same.

4. I do not burn Memorex or generic discs. I do not want these brands from the people I trade with either.

5. I do not care how cds are mailed to me, just as long as they are not loose in the envelope. I generally send discs in sleeves, though I will also use cases if no sleeves are available.

6. I DO care about the envelope that the discs are sent in--bubble mailers only, please.

7. I am a quick and reliable trader. If I say that I will get discs out to you by a certain day, I will email you if something prevents that from happening. I do not appreciate traders who do not exercise the same courtesy towards me.

8. Turn around times should be as short as possible. If you need more than a week to complete a trade with me please do not propose the trade until you have more time.

9. If I have offered you a b&p please send your unwrapped blanks to me in a self-addressed, priority-mail-stamped bubble mailer with a little note to remind me what show you want. It is especially critical that you do not forget the little note. Obviously this mailer should go inside a larger envelope when you send it to me. Do not send me extra discs, I am a not-for-profit burner.

Important Note about B&P Requests
I regularly post massive b&p offers for recent Steve Kimock-related shows on the Kimock list. Because of the high volume of these offers, I may take a very long time to fulfill individual requests for other shows on my list. Please do not request a b&p from me if you would mind waiting up to two months to get the show back.
