Kevin, this message was written on Aug. 5, and now it's Aug. 18, 2 weeks 
later, and I haven't seen a message come through that says "I have your 
tapes".  I have been very patient.  Please give me an undate as to the status 
of my requests.

I said I would pay you $15.00 for each title.  So I will probably sell them 
for $20.00.  I am not a "greedy gus" - if I can get a few Disney titles 
inexpensively, I will pass them on inexpensively.  I will also tell you that 
most of the titles I asked for are for friends who have asked me to get 
certain titles for them over the last few years, but who, because of 
collector pricing, I was unable to provide titles for - at a reasonable 
price.  Of course, I could have provided them some of *my* stash of tapes and 
just not charged the collector prices, but I didn't want to do that.  I 
purchased the sealed tapes I already have, when they came out, specifically 
for investment; I need that return to help me on the huge video hobby I have, 
I keep talking about on this, and the TV echo.  But *IF* you come through, I 
can *keep* my investment stock, and *still* provide my friends with tapes at 
a totally reasonable price.  I have already told one of my very best friends, 
who has a 7 year old daughter, that I *might* be able to get her a copy of 
Little Mermaid, brand new, for only 20 bucks, and she lit up like a Christmas 
Tree.
I am hoping, Kevin, that you do come through.  If this is just a hoax, I will 
be pretty pissed off.  I don't have time these days to just "wish upon a 
star"....
