What is the difference between a person Making Tapes to receive other Tapes and Making Tapes for Money?

I have asked some people can I purchase episodes from them and they say they only make tapes to receive other tapes. THat's where I'm confused because either way the person is still making a tape and going to the Post office to mail the tape out. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS?

Solomon, that crossed my mind also. Well some folks think its not right to sell them and it may ease their conscience to only trade tapes. But as you state, either way it requires blanks, time and going to the p.o . So when finalized, there's no difference.
Just my opinion.
btw, did you get your hookup's yet ? how'd it turn out ?

Not yet, looks like i should hurry since so many people don't like to sell. I have been wanting the first season of the Ropers for a year now and when I finally come across someone who has them, they only do tape trades. I can't win-LOL
