I guess it's a sign of the times but I'm starting to notice more and more sales/specials/deals... Buy one get one free... Buy $99 or more and get another set free... Buy $39 or more and get a free pack of cards... etc
There are some great deals to be had. It's just hard to match up what you want. Some dealers with the special don't sell the item I want. Frustrating Is anyone buying more today because of these deals or is everyone saving because of the economy?

I'm not spending more since I have a monthly budget for magic, but I am choosing who I buy from more carefully, and trying to make sure my purchases coincide with a sale or something free. (As long as the free thing is something I can use.)

The item I've noticed that you can't even give away is a VHS video on magic. It seems like the magic auctions don't even want them. Any leads on where to look for buyers?

It's legal to make a backup copy for your own personal uses. If you have a DVD recorder, how about backing the VHS tape up onto DVD, then selling the original official VHS along with a pre-made DVD backup to save the buyer the time it takes to make his own backup? You can't advertise it as selling the DVD since the thing you'd actually be selling is the VHS, but it might solve some problems.
Just a thought. Bill |

Bill,
Good advice. I've been looking for a reasonably priced DVD recorder for the last couple months to do just that. I wasn't sure it would be legal, but your approach is along the line I was thinking and should be OK. |

$40 and a little bit from you. I've done it with a number of my VHS tapes and it works great.
