Okay..odd request-
as a lot of people know I flooded-

and a lot of my dvds were stored in paper envelopes-
paper- absorbs water. Heh.


I don't want to drop a lot of cash right now - because I need it elsewhere- does anyone have any plastic spindles I can have/borrow?

I can't imagine they would be expensive to ship, just bulky- but it sa waterproof stackable, easy way to store things right now.

if anyone has any, I could use it really really badly right now-

25/s 50's 100's whatever you got- if it isnt too much trouble for anyone, let me know.

Thanks so much...


Kim

I may be being dumb but are these the things the disks come on from the shops?

yep...

i have 6 100 size as well as a 25 size u can have!!:)

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about-

If anyone has any, I would glady take them if it won't put them out any, or cost anything terribly.

If shipping is an issue, I can try to work something out-

Due to the flood these are ideal for my situation right here-

Anyone who has any, that feel like sharing, just drop me a pm for my address-
and if your requesting something in return, let me know so we can discuss it.

Thank you ahead of time for any help- I know its an odd request- but I am trying ot protect what i Have left- and these offer protection as well as easy storage/ways to pack things up



Jenny< I pmed you- specifically- many many thanks!

I have 2 100's and 3 50's you can have. Just need an address.

I need to get rid of a bunch - please send me your address, Kim, and I'll be happy to send them to a new home

I have at least 3, maybe more. I will glady get rid of them. I can send them out this weekend if you still need them.

I am not going to say no to anyone who wants to send them

THe drill is I have to take each one out of the wet sleeves clean them and repackage them
I have about, no kidding 25,000 discs.

So er...I don't expect to get all I need, but I am grateful for whatever non expesnive contirbutions anyone can make-

anyone who wants to - I will take them gladly, if it doens't put anyone out- but it isn't expected and if you change your mind, i will not be upset.

Its not the larges problem I am facing, but I admit, protecting my years of investment does matter to me and so far I have suffered the loss of about 70 sets- due to chemcials/and sewage wrecking the discs-
So right now I have them all over the house- trying to clean them etc-

I hope this never ever ever happens to anyone, this entire process is a disaster from attorneys to insurance to just day in and day out living-

thank you for the help and generosity you guys have shown, i can't thank you enough.
It seems silly, but these really are helping me to organize and protect things

25,000 discs. geez u need a lot then.. i wish i didnt throw mine away last week. wow 70 sets ruined.. whenever i get discs in bad shape i try to clean them the best i can with windex and then try my best to get the dvd on my computer with dvd dycryptor. it fails a lot but i just keep retrying. ive spent like 5 days on 1 dvd before getting it to read all the way through. im good at getting discs that have no hope what so ever to recover them 100% complete. once its on and i can burn it i can recover it without any errors.. even if it takes ice ages. maybe u can try doing that with dvd dycryptor.. you probably dont have any time thought right now with everything going on..

i have two sitting right here in front of me if you wnat them, my email is tinkerbell22185@yahoo.com :)

Hey, K-

it isn't just water- what happened is sewage came up and well---I don't even want to KNOW what is in sewage- but a lot of the discs, turned white-
So while I do have cleaning supplies, and a buffer- it didn't do a THING for these.

So basically I have been taking the ones that got wet- at all- or the envelopes did-
and turning them upsdie down and cleaning them with the kit i have, but I mean its liek 2 mntues per disc- then they have to dry.
its so time consuming- but most- are fine-

the sets I lost, I will be posting and if its something someone has upgraded, maybe they can toss it my way, or- do what we always do- and trade slwoly nad rebuild.
Luckily, most of what was ruined, was common place sets- there are only 2 that I lost, that are considered really rare and or that I bought unfortunately- one, I JUST bought- towards a holiday gift for my mom- so that really sucks.

so ill just be going through things- and some will be replaced, some won't -
but its just very time consuming- have to clean them, check them- put them away, which is why the spindles are helpful.
then, write down what i need to replace- and edit my lists-online and home computer-
and then, start replacing.
but on the bright side, all those people that wanted to trade me, and I had things on their list- now I don't.

*try to find the silver lining right?*

its exhasuting and I am very impatient- but i'm muddling through.
I hired a contractor, so they start working on my basement drilling next week- so I am doing this instead of sleeping basically- becuase once they drill its dust, PLUS moisture.

ARGH~

after this, I am saran wrapping my house for the record

saran wrap.. could have your house bubbled. be like the boy in the plastic bubble.

I got a box today from a helpful trader of several handfulls- I just finsihed cleaning 490 discs- checking them and putting them away, many thanks many many thanks
