I always feel a little twinge when people want to trade a perfectly good CD with a non-database or NO UPC and think they're not supposed to. Then they end up lost in the trample of the Bazaar, falling lower and lower and lower on the page.... This is one situation that seems like it confuses good traders, who think they have to use a matched-up UPC to trade, or it's "unpostable". Not true! You can trade any CD as long as artist, title and tracks match something in the database. Don't miss out on people who are lined up WANTING your no-UPC disc! Not that we aren't glad to see Bazaar listings, but hey: think again about your perfectly good CD and that it just might be FINE to post the regular way! Observe:
If I could make this posting sticky, I would. Happy trades, all! Last Edited on: 10/27/16 10:25 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

thank you, I always thought disc only CD's were that way because there was no art and therefore no UPC. Which makes me wonder what would make a CD Unpostable? Any Cd can be posted Disc only. Well okay, the track listings have to match or its Unpostable. |

HI Valerie -- This is my take -- step right up anyone who has a better way to explain... You asked:
Indeed any disc can be posted as long as the tracks match something in the database. I never thought about that: disc only discs wouldn't have a UPC, no -- unless you are good at reading the tiny numbers some discs have etched right around the hole in the middle. If you can match up the tracks, it can be listed, but if there's any question about whether your copy is a rare, limited pressing or something else super-special, better to err on the side of choosing the plain-vanilla listing. The SwapaCD database is pretty large and diverse, but it really doesn't have everything. That's when a disc has to be called "unpostable": when you just can't find a match of any kind, whether the item has all art, partial art or none. The database used here is connected with amazon's database, but (this is just my guess) it's only updated very intermittently, so sometimes it can be hard to say why such-and-such title just isn't listed here. |
