Yoo Hoo... Carin!
SB> I don't care HOW "vintage" or "valuable" the item is -- to me it is

Thanks, I know for the most part my words fell upon deaf (and greedy) ears, 
o
it was really nice to hear back from someone (anyone) who agreed with me.
Videos are for watching, NOT for speculation ... Even more so with a good
Disney film! Anyway, I hope that the opponents in the debate will drop the
whole STUPID subject -- I'm hoping Rich Koster calls an end to further
discussions (which I personally think are being broached just for a certain
someone to peddle his ware$). I want to discuss Disney, not discuss how some
guy can line his pockets and sucker us (not that I'm buying). I own a few
Disney videos -- a few were gifts, and a few were bought by myself ... but 
'm
proud to say ALL were bought at NORMAL retail prices ... nothing came from a
goniff "collector" (speculator). I have Fantasia, Snow White, Toy Story, and
The Santa Clause. I'll only buy more tapes down the road as I can afford them
-- and never at the inflated rate of the gougers.
I can't help but wonder if the guy who is buying $20 videos and then selling
them for $200 is declaring the profit on his income tax? If he sells a total
of 10 videos each year, that is $2000 -- a "profit" of $1800!!! As a citizen,
I sure hope he is paying like the rest of us... Hmmmmmm?
