What is Music Swap?

YKEEP is for the music aficionado who doesn't need the "fluff" to find music, but admits they've made mistakes. Bought a recording based on one, song trusted a reviewer or a friend's nudge- and hated it. Well... Why keep? Swap your misjudged purchases with others who have done the same.You get what you want and so do they. Also, you can provide opinions on recordings and tell members what you are looking for. Read about the care put into YKEEP's design and what you won't find at YKEEP.

Let's face it. We have all bought music we were really excited about, and well.... it was horrible. We've all outgrown music or changed styles. We've moved on. So, what do we do with what we have? Throw it away? No that's sacrilege. Sell it? Maybe, but it might not sell or we might not get what we think it's worth or even enough to purchase something we want. Trade or swap bucks- puleeeeese

Well why not swap it with someone else in your predicament. It's the most economical and fair. You get something you want and you fulfill someone else's musical dreams. No haggling a price.

Please note: All music offered must be original recordings.
How Does it Work?

First, set up an account and enter in the items you need purged from your collection. Then view, search, sort and slice and dice the swap list until you see something you like. When you find that special something, click Offer Swap , which will let the owner you know of your interest while providing them with a link to your swap list.  If they see something worth swapping for- your done .The rest is up to the two of you to ship your items to each other and delete the item off your respective swap list. (<--- that last part is important)

Any Cost?

Only to be able to sell on Ykeep. It is a low annual membership fee charged to your PayPal or credit card account. The only cost to swap is the shipping of swap items.

We may eventually charge. We want only those into music or who at least respect music to participate. We don't want con artists, spammers or irrelevant peddlers. Since the responsibility is up to our members to keep their lists current, to identify their items honestly and to ship when they say, YKEEP feels that by having minimal costs to utilize our site it will help eliminate such posers while helping the site's evolution. But for now you can get a lifetime trading membership at no cost.

If this sounds good then Become a Member!
