Should I or shouldn't I? Is this a good deal?
 

Here's a question I was wondering... it's kinda a dillemma...

This video store has three copies of G1 TMNT's "Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop" for sale. Now, I have bought a few G1 videos from them before, but they were a buck each. But these three are marked $6.99. Should I buy them?

It seems like a dumb question, and once I have the money I will buy one, but is it a good deal? I wonder this because the videos are over 10 years old, and being videos they don't age well. And since they were FHE videos from the 80's they're dubbed in SLP mode (lower quality, greater quantity). I feel it could be a gamble, and I don't want to pay about 7 bucks for something that could junk up my only VCR, or at least be in bad quality.

So, what should I do? I just want to ask a second opinion....

I bought the Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop tape just last summer for $9.99 Canadian, and the quality is fine. It's up to you if you feel two episodes is worth the cash to you.

i would buy them and then sell them on ebay for 10 bucks :roll:

I would keep em. they are classics and priceless if ur a turtle! Boy I love being a turtle! Indeed!

A common tmnt vhs like Super Rockstead and Bebop will not go on ebay for $10, maybe like 2 or 3 bucks. Now a rare one like legend of koji (which recently went for $20.50 alone on ebay) that would be worth reselling.

yes I would bye it dude!!! I wish pla es here can aell the OLD tmnt videos.

For $6.99? To me, that's steep for my budget...I usually like to pay just two or three bucks for the vids. I never see them in the rental stores for sale here, usually only in the pawn shops once or twice (I see the movies all the time, but the cartoons pop up seldom).

The thing about rentals is I know the tracking will most likely be horrible on my small TV/VCR combo (it goes to a blue screen when the tracking is bad), but I've found the way to cure bad tracking is to put it in the family VCR which is better and play it all the way through. Then when I play it on my combo, it usually works without a hitch.

Actually, if it means anything, the packages are unopened...


I have bought a few from them in the past for 1 buck each...Including

Rebel without a fin (the second toon was alright... Splinter Vanishes, I think)

Pizza By the Shred (with Return of the Fly)
and

TMNT the movie 3... (well... I got a bucks worth :tconfuse: )

I think maybe after the holidays I might get one... just wanted some opinions...

Sounds a bit pricy for one little VHS tape that old but if you've got the cash to spare and you really want it do whatever you feel. :)

dude if I where you I would go out and buy the video. Because I would love to habve those 2 episdoes.
