SOP for a "newbie" (someone who doesn't have anything to trade) is to send a
blank and return postage to the dubber.  Some traders require 2 blanks (one
to dub onto, the other to compensate for time and trouble).  Some require 3.
 Some sell tapes for $'s.  Depends upon who you're dealing with.

I don't like to do trades for blanks and I seldom do them.  My goal is to
increase my tape collection, not to increase someone elses.  However, I do
trades for blanks only when I'm in a good mood!  :-)
