I just wasted 2 hours last night trying to find some out-of-print/imports CDs through various used CD sites. They all seem to cater to the punk and new music crowds. None provide have a really good folk and blues collection and/or focus.

So how about a Mudcat Classified section and/or CD/book/instrument exchange! The Mudcat would get a set amount per transaction. This would be similar to the Auction but would allow us to set specific prices. For an example see the classified postings on BanjoL.

The advantages of this are:

1. We are pretty sure that people with interests in folk, old-time, celtic, blues, etc. would see our postings.

2. I for one would much rather interact and deal with Mudcatters than the great unknowns of Ebay and other anonimous auction sites.

3. It would help support Mudcat

P.S. I am going to try to post some "Would like to haves" and "items to sell" in forum. If the idea takes off then it might be worth expending energy setting something up.
