A few years ago, we tried something here at All Things Yankovic called All Things Tradervic, which was designed to be a Weird Al trading forum so that fans and collectors could help each other complete their collections.
Well, it was an embarrassingly dismal failure and nobody would post any messages.
But, a few folks have since been asking me for trading information, to see what I have and to find out what I still need. Although I have no plans to make this page as comprehensive as, say, Elvis's trading pages, I figure a modest trading page would fit right at home in this "behind the scenes" section of the web site.
I do want to point out one thing, though. I'm not normally the kind of collector who has many doubles of items. With the exception of maybe my turning up something I forgot I had, below is my entire list of items available to trade. I apologize that it's not a big list or doesn't have too many "choice" items, but what can I say...if I find something cool, I stop looking for it.
Items marked with an asterisk are those that I am actually willing to just sell if you have nothing to trade with, $3.00 each plus shipping.
Unless noted, all items below are opened and in fair/near mint condition. Conditions of picture sleeves may vary, so I will verify condition upon inquiry. I cannot verify playability of vinyl.
Well, on with the list....

One last thing: I will not, repeat will NOT, make copies of any legitimately released Al recording. If you need to know how an Al song was released, there are two helpful resources out there: my "Weird Al" Yankovic Songography over on Elvis's site and the discography pages right here at All Things Yankovic.
So, wanna trade? Then let me know!
