Getting rid of about 2,000 tapes... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nanny Fine · 11-23-2004, 10:27 AM

Well I knew this time was going to have to come.

I am most likely going to be moving in the next month and I can't realistically move 2,000 tapes to another home so I'm going to have to part with some of them.

At this moment I'm keeping any tapes that have anything on them that I have to tape for people. I'm keeping my Ellen, Ellen Degeneres Show, Maude, Phyllis, Major Dad, Highway To Heaven tapes.

I tape in a very unusual way ~ makes it hard for "complete" tapes to be made. I tape throughout the day, whatever is on that I tape goes on one tape. I have a lot of shows complete, or almost complete, but they span a LOT of tapes (Agent 13 knows how I tape!) So a single tape could go like this (depending on the day of the week and how long ago I taped it) ~

Designing Women
The Golden Girls
Grace Under Fire
Roseanne
The Ellen Degeneres Show
Third Rock From The Sun
Spin City

etc. That's just one tape. I have about 2,000 that are like that.

At the moment I have about 200 tapes that have no labels, no indiciation of what's on them. They were taped within the last 2 years. I want to sell them as "blank" tapes althrough they are not blank. They have things on them ~ could be Law and Orders, CSI, The Nanny, Golden Girls, etc. Anything!

I have about...I'd say a good 50 or so tapes that hav a list on the front of the shows on the tapes but no show episode names ~ things like Kotter, Mayberry, Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.

I have all the good channels like Goodlife TV, A & E Biography, etc so I have taped a LOT of stuff.

I want to get rid of the "blank" tapes (that aren't blank) and the "sort of labeled" tapes first if possible.

You can email me at skatefanforlife@yahoo.com for any more questions.

I will take PayPal only. I will ship internationally but there are a lot of tapes and it could get expensive.

If I owe you tapes ~ I have a small list here and anything you are to be taped wont' be shipped away

I hope someone can help me take these tapes off my hands. The boyfriend won't be thrilled if I say I have to move 2,000 tapes from my house to his...

Happy Thankgiving~ help me get rid of these tapes!
I'm not out to make an arm and a leg financially off these tapes. I just need to get rid of them.

Are you going to continue trading? I am interested in Highway to Heaven.

Nanny Fine · 11-24-2004, 11:29 AM

Here is an idea of some of the shows I have. Somewhere on this board is a list of all of my shows.

I would really really hate to throw these tapes away. I might sell them on eBay as blanks that people buy to erase. There's a lot of good stuff on these tapes!

3rd Rock From The Sun
Grace Under Fire
Roseanne
Mayberry RFD
Welcome Back Kotter
The Jimmy Stewart Show
Spin City
Less Than Perfect
My Sister Sam
Rhoda
Newhart
The Bob Newhart Show
Mary Tyler Moore
Munsters
Three's Company
Veronica's Closet
My Two Dad's
CSI
Without A Trace
The FBI
The Agency
Angie
The Andy Griffith Show
The Brady Bunch
According To Jim
King of Queens
Any Day Now
AUSA
The A Team
WKRP In Cincinnati
Family Affair
Taxi
The Golden Girls
The Nanny

That's just a sampling. There are a ton more than that!

hello jamie

after the effort i went through to find somebody who had a good portion of rhoda episodes, and found that you had a heap and a lot of other hard to find shows on your list.it would be a shame to see all these good shows get taped over. because i have a feeling that the networks may not show a lot of these programs in the future.
so i am begging you

to somehow get these shows to other tape traders who will share them around instead of having them taped over.

you could always include 1'000 tapes in my package !!!!

Jason I'm going to try and list some of the tapes I have, what is on each one, etc at some point but I don't have the time to go through the tapes that are not labeled to see what's on them. If I had to time to do that I would sit and transfer them or something, I don't know. The "blank" ones I'm not selling for a lot of money because I know it's hard to buy what you don't know you are buying but every tape is full of TV shows and I would hate to have someone just erase them or tape over them. So when I say they are blank they aren't really blank, they are just not labeled. I wish I would have had a better taping/tracking system when I started this but I never thought I would amass this many tapes and then have to get rid of them.

So we'll see if anyone else wants them.
