Rules and tips
Updated 4/9/2003. Read the updated rules before entering the trading post. Entering and/or posting on the trading post means you agree with the below rules.
* This page is meant for people looking for specific episodes of game shows, game show music, props, photos, anything game show related. Selling anything on this board will not be condoned. The emphasis is on trading.
If you post a "will pay cash for videos" message on the board, you will be banned without hesitation. Cash for videos will not be tolerated.
* This list is for game show trading only. If you have other shows you want to trade, post your messages on a board about trading items from that genre.
* Vulgarities, flame wars, off-topic posts and other posts I feel are unnecessary is unacceptable and will be deleted.
* I am not responsible for any bad transactions. This board is meant to act as a 3rd party for traders and people looking for television shows or memorabilia. If you wish to trade with someone, contact that person directly, not me. I will not forward your message to a specific trader.
* Do not post full collection lists. Please list links to your collection's page or to a downloadable document with your trade list.
* All communication with traders should be done via e-mail. Please don't post any addendums, trade cancellations or requests for traders to contact you. Once a possible trade begins, keep any trade related messages between you and the other trader.
* All posts must contain a name (first name, a nickname or initials will suffice) and a valid e-mail address. Any post not containing either of these will be removed.
* Don't spam the board. Spammers will be banned without warning. This is not the place to advertise your site, a forum, etc.
* Do not bump threads, as bumping will not move your message to the top of the page. Do not repost your message more than once per 2 months. The board currently has every post from approximately the past 10 months. Frequent reposting is unnecessary.
* If you post a reply without adding a message i.e. your reply is just quoted text, your message will be deleted.
* I reserve the right to delete any message for any reason. I also reserve the right to ban any poster for any reason, so please act mature when you post. 99% of people don't have to worry about being banned. It's the other 1% I'm worried about.
* If you are looking for a specific show, it's best to have as much information about that show including air date, tape date, celebrity panelists, the version of the show (nighttime, daytime, primetime, network, syndicated, etc.) and the name of the contestant(s) on the show.
* A majority of shows from the 1940s through the late 1970s have been destroyed. It definitely doesn't hurt to ask whether anybody has episodes from those shows. A lady e-mailed me about her episodes of The Joker's Wild from 1973. At the time, I told her they were destroyed. Lo and behold, Game Show Network unearthed these long lost gems. The lady's show aired in April 2001 and I sent her a copy of them in June 2001.
* Other than spammers and "will pay for cash" posts, any flagrant violation of any rule listed here or on the message board will get you a warning, via e-mail or on the board, most likely the former. A second violation equals being banned from this board.
If you don't agree with the rules, e-mail me with what you don't agree with. If you have read the rules and agree to them, enter the trading post!
