WANTED: Perfect Strangers complete series DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jagaroth · 01-24-2006, 05:06 PM

Hi,

I've been seeing a full run of Perfect Strangers converted from VHS to DVD circulating the net. I was wondering if anyone might be kind enough to help out a big fan of the show, make their friends birthday a little brighter. If someone has this, and would be willing to duplicate a copy of the DVDs for me, I'd provide a 100 pack of blank DVDs and offer remibursement for time and effort to make the copy.

Thanks!

Beware of a set circulating that is crappy quality 6.0-6.5 at best and they're passing it off as 7.5-8.0 quality with tons of tracking flaws, snow, lines, fuzzziness...crappy edits, etc...

I'd be careful, but that's not to say there isn;t also a better set from a reputable trader, as opposed to a "newbie", and tries to get a better deal on a trade, since once you'd get the set, are unhappy, you've been scammed, since you would probaly send them first a trade to get the Perfect Strangers set...

just my $.02

i actualy received one of the perfect starnagers sets in a trade attempt

it was nasty at best

and pitched to me as an 8-9 of 10

a waste of good blanks, i believe

I'll bet some people have no idea their set is a 6-7 quality, they get it from someone that says it's an 8.5-9 and they take their word for it.
I try & check at least 1 discs on all my homebrew sets for quality.

Lamont · 01-24-2006, 07:58 PM

who claim that everything they have is 8-9 out of 10

a certain trader who i will not name, pops up all the time on ioffer and ebay and lists sets like ALICE and GRIZZLY ADAMS and calls them 9 of 10, when he knows they are not

he lists all sets that high, i have found that newer traders tend to rate too high until they get a feel for it ( i did this too) but beware, there are those, who INTENTIONALLY deceive u!

that may well be

but i see it all the time

when someone gets a set that i have, and i know the quality

and some broccoli- brain lists it for sale or trade and jacks the quality about 2 full grades

and make an honest grader look like he has junk
