moonbeams Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I don't know if this thread would have a place here, so I want to put the idea out first before creating it. Maybe it should be in the sell, trade, wants forum or in the post a pic of your collection thread. The title, which explains the purpose, would be: "Post a pic of an UNFINISHED collection so people can help you complete it." You take a pic of a collection you're eager to complete and post it. Someone might have something that you don't and then can offer to sell it to you. Everyone wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Not that I carry much weight here, but I think it's a swell idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrc Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 there was a thread over at fatwreck wiki that was pretty good. "I would pay X for Y" and you list the records you are wanted/needing to finish your collection and give a price range of what you want to pay.

sharkticon Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Someone start it up. I've got a couple collections that need one or two holes filling. That's what she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, that's a great idea. Change the thread title and let's get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The idea is good in theory, but there are so many people here looking for the same exact records that it would just turn into a clusterfuck of threadjacking and "oh, I need that too," and that would turn into a war between whoever would pay the highest amount. /Debbie Downer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhansel411 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah and everything I need, no one will sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 So... a wantlist thread. I don't see the need for pictures cluttering things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This is a cool idea and it might work if it didn't turn into a WTB thread like people can already create over in the Sale/Trade forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recordcollector198 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 So... a wantlist thread.I don't see the need for pictures cluttering things up. I like the pictures, it lets me see items I may not have, that I didn't know about. Instead of just listing the items they need, it lets me see the whole picture. If that makes any sense. Plus, all photos by sharkticon look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 anything thats not included here would be much appreciated. none of these are bootlegs except for the obvious "chicago tapes" 2xLP, and i may or may not be interested in other bootlegs, as long as the material is exlusive to that release, i am not interested in bootlegs like the "blue" pisces iscariot, or the various coloured MCIS bootlegs. i don't care about colour variants, but i am interested in b-side variants and 12" singles. also, i should mention that the pisces iscariot does NOT include the 7", so if for any reason you have it in your heart to allow yourself to part with something like that let me know.

moonbeams Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 So... a wantlist thread.I don't see the need for pictures cluttering things up. This is NOT a wantlist thread. The point is to post a pic of a collection you're working on and then another poster will say, "I have this record you're missing. I'll sell it for 1,000,000,000 xxx currency." I love looking at pictures of records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewc Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 J Church 7" Collection: Missing: "All the Wars" "Half And Half" and the related Cilantro "Empty Soda Can" I guess since I don't have a photo of my split 7" collection, I can't ask for those wants in this thread... Part of the issue with this thread idea is a lot of people don't want to take pictures until their collection is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are posting a pic specifically for people to fill in what you are missing, then it is a pretty much a wantlist thread. Seems unnecessary to me, but I don't really care. Carry on.
