Terminology questions

[Shaliz]

Don't know if this is the right forum to ask this, but here goes.

I'm new to all this trading, etc. and I'm getting a little confused by the terminology. What exactly is a "DVD tree" and how does it work? Also, what does "b & p" mean?

Thanks for the help!

A DVD tree is a way to spread a show with people sharing the tasks of burning the discs and mailing the packages. So if I start a DVD tree, I could send out 5 DVDs to people who have burners and are willing to be "branches". Then those people would burn more copies and send them out to 5 people each, who are the leaves and are usually the end of the line.

B&P stands for blanks and postage and this is a good way for people to get boots if they don't have any yet to trade. If I offer a B&P for a DVD, you would send me a package containing a mailer, a blank DVD, and return postage. I would then burn the DVD you sent and send it back to you.
