I agree! This used to be very exciting.

have you ever considered that people just don't like dealing with YOU because you're a pain to deal with? :)

yes i am, i like a brand of dvd that i like and i ask in the trader if they will use it they do not have to and my dvd player only uses dvd-r and i do like to know if they got my side of the trade and i let them know that i got there's
so yes i am a pain sorry for that i have been trading for awhile now and i expect to much from other traders for that i am sorry. so if no one wants to trade with me let me know and i will end my trading days for good.

I had a couple things you wanted but rarely trade anymore beacause there isnt much i am looking for.

i understand i am the same way but i try to get some i have been looking for
like cagney and lacy i know there is going to be a release but its realy a lot of money they want aroumd 200.00

Hello,

I did an awesome trade with THREE 14.
I had know trouble with any conditions he laid out.
Great trader! Great person!
Thanks,

Kevin

thank you very much i can say the same about you i do not get good write ups like that my thing is when i trade i work with the other trader so the trader and me are good with the trade sometimes it does not work out but thats ok also.

What's unreasonable about wanting reliable discs you can play?

thats all i ask in a trade that the trader use a brand of blank dvds that work on my player which is verdatim dvd-r if they can not then i ask them what kind they use if its a cheap brand that know will not work on my player then i ask for the next best to verbatim i am doing a trade now the trader said he use's sony which is ok with me i know that is also a good brand i try to work with the trader so everyone is happy sometimes it does not work out thats the way it goes at least i tryed.

What's unreasonable about wanting reliable discs you can play?

Nothing. But when he comes to me wanting not only a specific brand but a specific format, that's a little much. Nobody in their right frame of mind is going to want to go out and buy a special spindle of discs for one trade just to appease the kooky demands of someone. I'm glad me and him never traded, it would have been a nightmare.

sorry you feel that way you seem to be the only one yes i ask for verbaim dvd-r if the trades uses another brand that i know is just as good as verbatim like sony dvd-r then i will make the trade but i will not make the trade if the trader uses a cheap brand that freezes and the picture breaks up
i did a trade like that the trader used a cheep brand i told him he made a new set with a cheep brand again and then blamed it on me so i got burned i said never again sometimes i will send blank dvds of my brand for the trader to use so i know will get a good copy and they are fine with that.
i work with with the trader so both of us are happy so i am sorry you feel that way.

some traders do not use dvd plus like me my player only works with dvd-r
think about that everyone does not have the same format as you.

sorry you feel that way you seem to be the only one yes i ask for verbaim dvd-r

Based on the title of your thread he must not be the only one.

sorry i worded that reply wrong i ask everyone i trade with first if they will use verbatim dvd-r if not then i ask what brand they use if its a good brand
like verbatim then i make the trade if not then i will work with the trader to
use a brand we can both agree on if not then me and the trader agree to end the trade if we can not agree which is fine i do not put presser on anybody.

How about investing in a $30 player that plays EVERYTHING? then you don't have to worry about disc brand.
I NEVER buy verbatim discs.

besides, if the discs are copyable you can make copies yourself with the brand you like and use the others in a trade - shouldn't be a big deal

As for trading, I am looking for someone who wants to do some "DVD Rip" trading.
I've given up on the on-line rentals (N-Flix) and their ridiculous prices and slow service.

yes i plan a buying a new player still i agree with you i can copy the dvds on the brand i use but if the the trader use's the brand i use then it saves me some work. and joker i wish i could help you with the rips you want but some dvds have the copyright thing on the dvd and i can not get past that to copy it you have been good to me and i wish i could help you sorry.

I think it is because of Ioffer and Sell.com. For awhile it was so easy and cheap to find stuff there. I got just about everything I was looking for. I haven't traded for about 3 years, just ventured back over here on a whim. I don't have Red Skelton or Cagney and Lacy, though. I have mostly 50s-60s stuff.

Got a list? I don't have the Verbatim stuff, I usually use T-Y, but my supply is low. Forgot the great website I used to order that stuff from. Very popular place...dang.
(for Three14)

Aha! SupermediaStore. Good memories. They've even got some good prices on Verbatim. Are they comparable with Taiyo-Yuden? Everyone used to claim T-Y was the best.

Don't forget Youtube

I think Netflix and streaming have killed this hobby more than anything. I was collecting Law and Order SVU now the complete series is available for streaming. Many shows are like that.
