-> for a very few - Song of the South, Saludos Amigos, Make Mine Music,

I have all the ones you mentioned, also "Victory Through Air Power" and
rare cartoons such as "Education For Death - The Making of a Nazi". I
have "The Legend of Lobo" on the way but am REALLY looking for "The
Reluctant Dragon.

-> Not so!  I buy 10 of every title when it comes out, and I leave them
-> all sealed.  I also buy one CAV laserdisc of each title.  *I* watch
-> and enjoy my laserdiscs, and therefore am totally enjoying my Disney
-> movies.  I do this *while* having the other copies sealed and
-> waiting for interested parties.  So you can buy sealed tapes, keep
-> them sealed, and still enjoy Disney!
I guess I don't understand what gives YOU the right to make a huge
profit over someone else's copyrighted works. The video stores are
authorized distributors - you aren't. Also, I think the reason people
say the video-scalpers aren't real Disney fans is that the prices people
like you set keeps these films AWAY from the masses. The average family
struggling to make ends meet simply can't afford to pay $150 for "The
Little Mermaid".
I think these films are so excellent that everyone should be able to see
them. I know that high pricing would keep most people out of the market,
so I don't try to make a buck off of my Disney hobby.
I really hope you don't see this as a flame. I am simply explaining how
I feel on this topic. I am not trying to anger or attack you. I do,
however, feel it's important to get this opinion out.
