Wanted: Cardboards (TRADE)

Hello,

I know some of the more hardcore collectors here will think I am nuts, BUT:

I would like to replace some of my jewel case soundtrack editions with the same albums' cardboard editions (just an example which I already own: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3295/2442104643_d1486a35c7_o.jpg). I am just looking for the simple cardboard sleeve editions that are sometimes distributed as "promos", but do not differ from the actual official release in terms of music contents. For example, Varèse Sarabande and Colosseum have issued several of these cardboard promos over the last couple of years. I do NOT mean the bigger Japanese LP style editions which are much more expensive, as you know.

If you have some of these simple cardboard editions in excellent condition and would like to replace yours by the jewel case edition, please just let me know and include a list of what you would be willing to trade. I will then let you know if a trade is possible (= if I actually HAVE the jewel case edition of what you are offering).

I would PREFER to send just the INSERTS plus the actual DISC without the jewel case (unless it is a special case unique to that particular release) in order to reduce postage. My main interest is to make the trade equal, i.e. no need for any payments between us. Of course, I would wrap everything securely (and expect the same in return). Note: I live in Germany (but willing to consider trades with people from outside of Germany or Europe as well). Please understand that I will only trade with people who are members here and that I might prefer members whom I already know from previous trades or communication (so please include your soundtrackcollector USERNAME when you email me).

In short:

I want: cardboard "promo" editions of soundtracks
I offer: inserts (booklet and back insert) and disc from the standard jewel case edition

Best wishes,

Urs
