Bootleg and demo trading

Hi

I havn't really got into trading, but I get the picture its a good way to hear hard to find demos and bootlegs of bands I'm into (80's goth, some new wave etc).

What is the best way to start? Are there websites for this sort of thing? I've knocked up a list of stuff that I have which I think is appropriate for trading if anyone is interested. I put a few things I've recieved from heartland on the list, but only the 3 or 4 things I kept for my own enjoyment, not an epic list of everything thats ever been shared.

Cheers :)

this is what i did:
i always read the"currently listening" thread and when someone is listening to something i would like to have i ask. in this way i started my "sharing" and "trading" experience

tapetrader is good for that I think. Neat layout and easy to navigate. Only wish that they stop using pop-ups for details on the shows, a drop-down type thing would be easier.

Btw. might be interested in the DM (welcome to the puppet show) London '06 gig.

Have the admins already returned then? Gave up on them after everything started malfunctioning and it seemed like a bit of a decapitated pyramid. Especially the import txt-files with bootlegs would've been handy if it'd actually worked, all the typing :urff:

Other than that, tapetrader is indeed a good place to start, found lots of good stuff on there :D
