SportsTraders Home Page

Last Updated - May 10, 2004

I am a huge sports fan and I am an avid collector of sports videos. Below is my list -- most of which I have personally taped when these events were originally broadcast. I hope you will take a minute to check out what I have and then e-mail me a list of your tapes so that we can work out a trade (The Offical Rules are below).

I am also beginning to convert my VHS to DVD so if you are interested in trading DVDs -- I now am able to do that! Yahoo! Also, I am only a collector and will NOT sell any tape. If you are truly interested in a video, but do not have anything to share - well, I'm sure we can work something out. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from you soon!

MY TRADING GUIDELINES & RULES

Alrighty - Now for the Nitty Gritty ... I have just three rules (common among traders) that I expect anyone that I trade with to follow.

First, Always tape in SP speed and use brand name tapes (JVC, Maxell, etc.)! Always! Always! In order for a quality transfer, it is crucial that we record in SP mode. If you have to spill onto another tape - so be it! Second, Always be honest! Like everyone else, I truly do not have the time for this hobby, so be honest about the quality of your videos. If they are not of the highest quality then just let me know so that I know what to expect. Finally, when mailing the videos - use enough packing materials so that the videos make it through the abuse of the US Postal Service! Mail PRIORITY and do whatever you have to do to ensure that the videos make it to me or I will ask for replacement videos.

Watching and trading old sports events is a ton of fun and I assure you that I will do whatever it takes to make this transaction an enjoyable one! Thanks again for visiting and I hope to hear from you soon!
