No doubt. I just don't like shelling out cash for what can be traded. I contacted a seller about B&P'ing* for a copy (with a little bit of cash thrown in), but he said he needed the money for school. I explained how what I was offering was actually a monetary "win" for him, but he never replied (nor did he counter my original offer). He ended the listing early and re-listed, probably to do away with our brief exchange, which appears with the item listing.
charliesheen was referring to the date of the Heart of Darkness Playhouse 90 television dramatization.

I made a LD to DVD tranfer two years ago, from the NTSC laserdisc and it looks fine to me.

And that, my friends, is why we should avoid buying from sellers unless we're desperate. I've got a VHS>DVD transer, and others around here have LD>DVD transfers. I'm always willing to trade, and I know others are too.
*btw, do you guys know about B&P (or "bnp")? Check it out:

I mean, I've seen some guys doing projects and they are understandably apprehensive about sending out DL discs because of cost. But if those who want something would be willing to send the blanks in pre-paid postage mailers, that would alleviate the burden. If someone wants something from me but I'm not interested in anything of theirs, I'm usually always willing to B&P. Of course, international mailing makes it a bit tricky. But nothing a few extra blanks can't take care of.
