Well, i'm skeptical. Just to test it, i put a quantity of 5 in my "cart" and proceeded through the checkout process just short of placing my order. The system was about to happily charge me for 5 of these "items" and associated shipping.

I understand your eagerness to get a hold of this rarity, but i have policy with online independent sellers: if they don't respond to a question i pose to them, there is no way i will purchase their wares -- no matter how tempting.

My guess is that the price shown is for a DVD copy, and he regularly sells these. Who knows if he really has that 3/4" tape anymore, or if he got a copy off the tape from a friend/acquaintance. I suppose the follow-up to my initial query will be to see if he can send me a photo of the tape.

If this is the real deal, i'll buy it and have my friend do the transfer, then send you the DVD, TB. But if this is just a DVD copy of uncertain transfer lineage, the most i would put in $5. it would take 5 others to join me to cover shipping, and we would agree to send the disc to the AA team.
