-Everyone might as well start mailing me with EXACTLY how much they will be willing to chip in for these videos. Example: "I will contribute $10 for video 1 and $15 for video 2." I would like to get a tally of what we are up to. I don't think these will be a problem if we pull together.

Greg's a great guy and very trustworthy. None of you have any reason to doubt him and I assure you that you are all in good hands if you just trust him. He's been around for a long time now and know what he's doing. He's not some 15 year old wanker using his mothers computer. You guys have nothing to worry about. He's leeter than all of our combined forces, Hell all of you should take a minute and thank god that he's blessed us with his presence.

In response to what you said Glued on Wings, Yes I can organize, but why make things more confusing when he'a already agreed? It looks like these vids my go high so I strongly suggest you just email him sayig how much you'd be "willing" to chip in. Once the auction closes and he wins, he will simply take the total of amount of interested people and divide it by the cost of the videos and BAM!! we have our grand total. It really shouldn't end up costing any one person to much money if we have enough interest. Once Greg has the videos he will simply ship them off to the appropriate people who can make copies on whatever media (i can do shns) and people can just b+p to one another.

I'd be easily willing to put in 10-20 bux. Imagine if there were 20-40 ppl like me? we can easily sum up a large amount and not have anyone end up paying a ton. And if turner is willing to compete with say 50 people who are willing to pay some money, well he better put more auctions up on ebay cos it will probably end up costing him a pretty penny.

We can't set an amount till we know what the vids go for. For now, just email him and tell him what the most you'd be willing to put in is. That doesn't mean you will be required to put that much up in (refer to previous post)

I'm in for $5 on each video. Sorry, I don't have anything more. These sound like a great find and it would be a damn shame to let them fall into the h0arding circle.

First off, JVB, Fares, thanks for the support. I am not trying to screw with people here, just remember that, and I am not nearly as "leet" as Fares or JVB, but I can only hope. (No Fares, it has not come) I have gotten a couple of mails already which is fantastic. Please email me the exact amount willing like Fares said to [email protected] and if you have a Paypal or any other type account like that available. Let's just try this for now and tackle the next large issue of distribution, originals, trees?, etc...when/if we win. So for now, flood the hell out of my inbox and if I am online, then AIM me at GKAVCHAK. Who knows, if we have a bunch of extra cash, it could pry something else loose, we will just have to see.

Regards,

Greg

i replied to a post on the oboard regarding these videos letting them know what's going on here, so hopefully we won't all be outbidding each other. maybe we can lure some folks over to pitch in a few extra bucks.

I think the easiest thing to do is to do is start another thread. Each person states how much they want to contribute, and what format/s they want it on. remember, on a dvd, I can put the audio in it, so if you want a dvd, you automatically get a cdr of it if you have a dvd drive on your comp. And whoever asked the best dvd format, it is DVD-r, NOT dvd+r, that has more expensive media and is less compatable. BTW, I can also make vcds/svcds in real time.

People might want their privacy.. Also, it would allow someone bidding against to estimate how much we are putting in.. Email is the way forward. If Jeroen and Fares say we can trust Greg, we can. For the record though i'd like CDR or VCD.

Also for the record, DVD is 10x better than vcd http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif If you don't have a dvd player, than go ahead for the vcd, but if you have a dvd player, there is no reason not to want a dvd over a dvd.

No, lets not do this now. Lets not even worry about distribution right now, just worry about buying the video from the seller. Once we have the video we can deal with the distribution method. I assume it will go like this:

1. Greg wings, pays the seller with all the money we put in.
2. Receives the videos, sends them to starlightvideoproductions (or someone who can transfer them)
3. That person will press a copy on dvd and vcd. and if you can, make audio copies to cdr (if not i can do this)
4. mail the vids back to Greg and send a dvd/vcd copy to 4-5 other branhces who have ability to reproduce these on dvd/vcd and leaves can simply b+p. Audio copy will get out on shn fast and then can be easily obtained by anyone.

Haltek, thats probably what will happen. It turns out Greg lives about an hour from me http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif So, that is good, because then the videos will not have to go in the mail, to avoid damage from heat, mail people stepping on them, etc.

Holy shit, I just saw who was selling them. I know him! I've traded with him! He is the shit, he has so much good stuff. He never said he has Pumpkins stuff however. Well, small world after all http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif

Hmm, the current high bidder may just be in there to try to kill the auction...his only (negative) feedback is for an auction that was never paid for.

Can't the seller do something about that, like cancel his bids or ignore them? If he wins and doesn't pay can he choose to sell to us?
