Help me make a desicion.

[Eidiot88]

I've had this offer on the table for months on top of months, it was an offer for the original series all 193 episodes of it, the guy threw in TNM as well all for 150. I really don't know why I haven't picked it up yet, maybe it is because I don't have the money but when I do...should I go for it?

and also what do you think a good price is for the original series?

[TMNTFanCrys]

That would be all your decision. I mean, how much did the old series mean to you? Me, shell, I wish someone would offer e a deal with all the old series episodes, even if they threw in TNM. I'd pay that price...but that's just me, b/c I loved the old series, and couldn't see any of it from 1994/5 and thus continuing. So, you know, I haven't seen a big chunk of the old series..especially the new mutations I heard they went through in 96' I think (talking bout the old series). All well, just haven't had anyone offer something like that to me...wish someone would. LOL...I mean, sure, my rental store has 14 Turtle VHS, and sure, I can rent them, but they won't sell them to me.

So, I guess, in between all my ranting, is that you decide what you feel you should do. If you want to take the chance to try and wait for something better to come up, like a cheaper price, then you should. But remember, in my opinion, I think it's rare to get some of these VHS, nonetheless getting ALL the episodes that ever aired. Me, it would be the perfect Graduation present. I was trying to convince this one girl (I think she had a Shredder fansite) to sell me her tapes she had. They (the tapes) had a pretty good chunk of old Turtle eps on there, but I haven't heard a response. So, you know, weigh your decisions. Money, quality, etc etc, and choose what you feel is better for you.

I hope I helped you some, and sorry if I bored you with my, probably desperate, sounding rambling. I'm just an old fan, trying to get some of my childhood memos back. Talk to you later.

[Eidiot88]

Thanks, You have actually help.

I hope you guys get a good deal togather. Hope all goes well.

Depends on the quality of the episodes. If it's 8-9 out of 10 quality it's definitely worth it. Anything lower definitely not.

[Eidiot88]

The guy said "good to excellent".

[TMNTFanCrys]

to have helped you some. Feels good to help others get something great achieved.

I hope you guys get a good deal togather.

Pizza Power...I wish someone would offer me a deal. That one girl I contacted, Katie, to try and sell me her tapes haven't responded yet. And I would love to recollect all those old series episodes again. Those were mainly my whole child hood right there, besides the action figures and memories...

And I agree. Quality has a lot to do with the deal. Reason is, what good would the tapes be if you cannot *see* or *hear* the episodes. I mean, sure, some may be alright with it, but I feel you should get your money's worth. But like I have said before, it's your deal, so it's all up to you. I'm just glad I helped you some, cause I'm still in this forums to discuss Turtles, but also to make new friends. I have some good ones here, but not many. So I'm trying not to become a stranger here, although being a Senior in high school is a tad time consuming...

Oh well...chat with you guys later!

Oh and Pizza Power, I may be contacting you real soon so you can host my Doll made avatar that Kali made for me. Since I'm a Junior member now, that space below my name is looking a tad...spacious..(I sound like Mikey there lol)

[jeff the cheff]

I would probobly buy it if the quality was good enough, which it seems like it is. If you have the money I would say definatly buy it. By the way is it recorded vhs, or real tapes, or computer discs or what?


By the way I'm suprised nobody is bitching about it being illegal to discuss episode trading

[Eidiot88]

It it recorded from tv I belive he said.

[TMNTFanCrys]

to talk about that here? I didn't know. Mind telling me why it's illegal? I mean, sure, maybe copyright reasons, but I thought we were allowed to discuss Turtle tapes and all.

[GK Punk]

Well, as far as *I* know, it's ok to talk about this because no one is offering to sell the tapes to other forum users, nor is anyone talking about episode downloads.

Maybe one of the Other Mods could clear this up for me, if I am wrong.

[CookSux]

I have a feeling it's episode downloads... so I don't think it's worth it. Besides, just wait till it's all out on DVD.

[Jarrah White]

Hmm, all 193 episodes... And a NM tape? Sounds like a good deal. My advice, as soon as you get those videos, copy them to DVDs; VHSs don't last forever.

[GK Punk]

Yeah, seriously.

Hmm... The discussion of downloading episodes isn't allowed, but I don't think there's anything wrong about discussing tapes. Plus, Eidiot88 is only asking for advice, so I think it's okay.

[Deathknight]

Wait, this wouldn't happen to be from someone named GetShredder would it? I remember an auction like that. The real problem is determining what Good to Excellent means. I bought a set that claimed to be in A quality and it was more like B to D quality.

[Eidiot88]

Whoa it is actually thanks for the notice. But I check his ebay account and he got banned and his email is dead so I don't think I'm buying anything from him.

If you want you can delete this post now, thanks for all the advice.

[TMNTFanCrys]

C ya later

Eidiot88, I was gonna ask you a question, guess it's a little late now but here it is anyway: if your not gonna keep the NM tape can I have it?
