I'm in. I will ship Con-US only. I would prefer to send new, the local used CD shop doesn't have much of a selection.

Wow cool idea! Can't believe I missed this last year...
Recently got a CD that I don't like but that has received glowing reviews. Maybe someone else will like it more than I did!
Count me in! And willing to ship worldwide.

You may notice that I've been around here for a while and have participated in more than a few of these exchanges. I think, however, that at present there may be some general misunderstandings as to the basic spirit and principles of the "Head-Fi Holiday (used to be Christmas) CD Exchange". As Zanth and others have already expressed, this is not where you get rid of your losers CDs. Rather, the idea here is actually to practice your "gift giving" skills much more than your "gift receiving" skills. "Gift receiving" skills will be practiced in the yet-to-be-started "2007 Whatdidyaget?" thread.
Successful gift giving in the past has entailed figuring out your exchange partner's tastes in music (once Zanth gets us partnered up) from their express preferences in their profiles and from their posts as to music they like. The successful giver then compares these tastes with their own preferences in music, engages a little musical knowledge and research, maybe even communicates a little with their exchange partner, and voila!; not the CD your maiden great-aunt would have picked out for you.
So let's not talk about shipping off our used CD dogs; at the very least you should be considering a new sealed copy of a timeless musical delight you have discovered. And let's not talk about "striking it rich"; expectations of getting more than you give = immature greed. It really is better to (successfully) give than it is to receive. And finally, don't sign up just to stiff your exchange partner; we will flame you into some other galaxy.
BTW, Merry Christmas.
