I was not...  The prices I posted were less than most retail collector places 
sell them for, but even so, some of the titles are expensive....

If indeed, you did do what you just said, than you are luckier than you know. 
No flea markets in *my* area have these titles.  If they were so common, how 
could most collector sources and Disneycons get away with charging so much 
more than that?

If this is true, (and I know this is public and I am putting you on the spot 
here, but I wanted to respond ASAP as this is important to me) then I would 
like you to pick me up some titles THIS WEEKEND.  I will send you $15.00 for 
each title, plus shipping.  I would like sealed copies, one each, of 
Pinocchio, Bambi, Lady & The Tramp, Peter Pan and two copies each of Sleeping 
Beauty, Little Mermaid and 101 Dals.  That is a total of 10 videotapes. 
Assuming shipping for 10 tapes in a cardboard box is about 6 bucks, (Special 
4th class rate) and insurance will be another $2.50, that makes the total 
order $158.50.  You will net a cool $50.00 in your pocket for doing nothing 
but going down to your flea market and picking them up for me.  I will send a 
money order to you in this amount the second you have told me that you have 
procured these titles for me.  I am dead serious on this, I would like these 
titles.  You can send me netmail at my below node number (in my origin line), 
or you can give me a call at 916.342.2215.  I'm in the book.  I hope to hear 
from you very soon.
(One note:  I will not send money in advance.  I've been ripped off via 
FidoEcho too many times.  Plus you know the old addage:  If it sounds too 
good to be true...da de da de da...  If you cannot afford to spend $100.00 of 
your own money to get these 10 titles for me, then get two of them for 
$20.00. Surely you can afford that.  If not, then get *one* title at $10.00.  
As soon as you tell me what you have, I'll send the corresponding money 
order.  If you can, however, get all at once, it will dramatically cut down 
on my shipping costs, as I will be paying for that, of course.  Again, thanks 
in advance.)
