CA>  Hear!  Hear!  I don't believe I need to add anything to that.  You said
 CA> it well.
 SB> Thanks, I know for the most part my words fell upon deaf (and greedy)
 SB> ears, so it was really nice to hear back from someone (anyone) who
 
 There are still some of us out here that get Disney for the enjoyment of
 it, and not for profit.
 
 SB> agreed with me. Videos are for watching, NOT for speculation ... Even
 SB> more so with a good Disney film! Anyway, I hope that the opponents in
 SB> the debate will drop the whole STUPID subject -- I'm hoping Rich Koster
 SB> calls an end to further discussions (which I personally think are being
 
 Agreed.  We'll probably be hearing about it soon.  You know, in the Trek
 echos, if anyone starts talking about buying or selling merchandise, they
 are quickly told to get over to the For Sale and Collectors (not sure of
 right name) echos.  :)
 
 SB> broached just for a certain someone to peddle his ware$). I want to
 SB> discuss Disney, not discuss how some guy can line his pockets and
 SB> sucker us (not that I'm buying). I own a few Disney videos -- a few
 SB> were gifts, and a few were bought by myself ... but I'm proud to say
 SB> ALL were bought at NORMAL retail prices ... nothing came from a goniff
 
 Same here, except I bought all of mine.  None were gifts, tho I did swipe
 one from my mom (ah, she's in the same house.  I just keep it on my shelf).
 
 SB> "collector" (speculator). I have Fantasia, Snow White, Toy Story, and
 SB> The Santa Clause. I'll only buy more tapes down the road as I can

 I still have not seen all of Fantasia.  One of these days I'll have to rent
 a copy of it.  The other three I do have.  I love The Santa Clause and Toy
 Story.  Snow White is ok, but I prefer Cinderella.  I didn't see Snow White
 until I was 16, and I don't think I saw Cinderella til I bought the video
 last year.
 
 SB> I can't help but wonder if the guy who is buying $20 videos and then
 SB> selling them for $200 is declaring the profit on his income tax? If he

 SB> Hmmmmmm? 
 That hadn't even occurred to me, but you have a point.  Should we ask?  :)
 Hmmmm...I wonder if I can make a pair of ears:

 I do that right?   Sigh...probably not.
