WELCOME TO THE DOG AND PONY SHOW
- All of my videos will be sent to you PRIORITY US Mail with TRACKING INFO and I greatly request that you do the same. If you cannot, please let me know so I can make similar arrangements.
- IF YOU ARE APPROACHING ME FOR A TRADE, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND FIRST. After I receive your video(s), or after you send me tracking info, I will immediately ship yours priority mail. If I approached you for a trade, I will send first, priority mail with tracking, and you can send after receipt.
- I do ask that tape swap shipments on your end be prompt after receipt of my videos. If you are too busy to be prompt, please do not engage in a trade.
- If anything here is less than 2 hours, I am always agreeable to fill up the tape and expect the same in return. Just ask.
- All videos are SP and screen formatted unless otherwise noted as “EP” or “LTBX.” Videos marked “DUB” have been taped from another video or off of cable, but are noted accordingly. Those not labelled are Master tapes. Tapes that are not listed without a mention of quality can be considered exceptional. I only classify ones with issues.
- Swap videos will be dubbed on, at the bare minimum, 4-head, hi-fi vcr’s via gold-tip Monster Series 3 composite cables with stereo transfer when available using custom-made Mogami cabling with Canare gold-tip connectors -- superior to Monster audio. I do sometimes have the possibility of offering SVHS dubs and, don't worry, these won't be arriving on SVHS tapes, they are just SVHS-quality dubs on VHS tapes which are playable on any and all VHS's with remarkably higher resolution than VHS. If you own an SVHS and are interested in swapping in the SVHS medium let me know and we can work out something. Videos and dvd's are routed through a Sima Color Corrector for highest quality dubbing and to bypass any Macrovision copyright scrambling.
- I only dub in SP, unless requested otherwise, using preferably Fuji Pro120 or Maxell HGX-Gold video tapes, IF A QUALITY TAPE SUCH AS THESE IS NOT AGREED UPON, I WILL USE MAXELL SILVER -- I'm done with sending out expensive tapes and getting inferior ones in return, but I HIGHLY prefer exchanging with the same quality tapes (I can get specific tapes to match your library, if you so prefer). I do also offer Maxell Silver T-160 SP dubbing when necessary, but I'm looking to get a T-160 in return.
- Dubs being cut directly from dvd’s are marked as such and will be coming from a Sony 7700.
- Many thanks and I hope we can strike up a deal!
JUST STARTING OUT AND DON'T HAVE MUCH TO TRADE, BUT YOU WANT SOME GOODS FROM ME? Not really a problem. I'm not one of these traders who is going to demand $20 for a video. I used to fight with the ethics of selling tapes, but that went out the window as soon as I got layed off from my job. Leave it to Fortune 500 big business to force someone to compromise morality. I charge $10 for the first tape, which includes Priority mail shipping with tracking info. If you want more than one tape, the deal gets much better and each additional is only $6. I haven't seen a better deal than that so I don't feel too guilty. Keep in mind that I'd prefer to trade than to sell and I'm willing to trade for a pretty wide variety of items, including your own home videos (especially if you are ugly, disabled, making an ass of yourself ... ).
