Still haven't been to the flea market. I will be going one of these
weekends tho. My sister's in Hawaii, and summer time is prime time for
bike rallies, so going to a flea market to pick up disney tapes is not high
on my list of priorities. For all of you folks who read my post, what I
said was to go to a local flea market to look for a similar vendor. You
people are asking me to shell out a bunch of cash for people I have never
met,
don't know. If your friend's daughter wants a copy of The Little Mermaid,
why don't you make her a copy of it. And if he is your friend, why are you
"only" charging an extra 5 bucks, why not tell him you can get it for $10
plus s & h.
As for video tapes being truly collectible, I beg to differ. Eventually a
new technology will come along and obsolete the video tape and all these
tapes
will be virtually worthless. If you doubt what I say, let me know how much
all those "collectible" 8-track tapes are worth, or LP's for that matter.
You folks all missed the intent of this post. I was bringing up the
fictitious "collectibles" market. It's a great (old) marketing ploy. Make
the tapes "collectibles" and the demand will build up. Re-release them, and
they sell like hot cakes. I'm pretty sure that Lady and the Tramp has
already
been released twice. Business 101 folks. All these tapes you folks are
looking for will probably be released again within two years.
I do have a list of tapes all you folks wanted, and when I get to the flea
market I will look for them. This weekend is the State HOG rally, so I
on't
be getting there this weekend either, I have my kids the weekend after that,
so it probably won't be that weekend either.
