If I may...
I have bought from TB a couple of times already and all he asked of me is $5 for shipping (we live on different continents btw) and an amount OF MY CHOOSING for donation, which also covers for blank DVDs.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention I had the option not to buy from him if I felt $5 + an amount of my choosing was a ripoff. That's the beauty of living in a free country.
Alright, have a nice day everyone!
What happens in private should stay private. Please do the OP and yourself a favor and don't talk about stuff like this anymore publicly.
Openly looking for money to recoup money, you've put in to create a project, after the project is finished....you're just asking for a reaction like the one that happened in this thread.
I've had people send me discs....I've sent discs, all free of charge. If I paid for something...like some of the audio discs I recently acquired to help other projects start & finish....I asked for NO money and shared freely.
The karma helps everyone.
If anyone feels for any reason, that they HAVE to depend on a larger resource to complete a project, they should make it known WHILE the project is going or as it is starting....not after the fact. I've seen plenty of generosity on this site when people ask for help. Telling folks that money will be needed to receive a project they're interested in rarely fares well, ever. Just the facts.
Agreed. I've sent people my projects and asked for no money, other than shipping. That's it.
And as for TB, I've created many projects here and never asked for money from anyone for them. I've done them all myself and released everything I've worked on. Of course, I have TONS and TONS of stuff on VHS. I have hundreds of hours of stuff that I've never organized or archived. Will I ever get around to it? Who knows. But, like so many people on this board, I have a life and very demanding job that requires a lot of my time. I apologize to anyone that I haven't gotten back to in a timely manner.
That said, I was told that each of his "discs" are $5 each PLUS $8 shipping. That's a blatant (and insane) ripoff. I just got one of them and it was almost entirely made up of youtube clips. They were the exact same time length as the clips on youtube (which I'm using to make my own BD discs) yet he claims he got them from "a collector in Scotland."
Bottom line is that we are all here spending a lot of our time and energy to archive this stuff FOR FREE for other collectors and fans. That's the very basis of this forum. And if you don't like it and prefer to turn around and sell your stuff online to make a profit, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
If any of you still want his Promethius discs, feel free to purchase them...for $17. HA.
