That would be cool if a lot of people are after BTTF, then perhaps they could group together and purchase a set to offset the cost? I don't know how much it is, but for example $200 divided by 20 people is only a tenner each. It might be the best way to get discs of interest unless you can find a collector out there who is interested in transferring their library.
The only problem here is who retains the physical source once the transfer is complete and who covers the cost of the media for those 20 people?
Jeez, I would imagine the 20 people could each pony up the $1 cost of a BD25 blank each.
As for the ctual laserdiscs themselves, that would be up to the group to decide up front. You could stick them straight back on ebay with a buy it now until they were sold, or donate them to the guy doing the transfer (LOL) or hang them on a Christmas tree or offer them to the highest bidder that wants to buy them within the group. I don't know really, just throwing it out there, there is nothing in it for me except unpaid work anyway :P so it was just a suggestion as to one way to make it doable if it is something people want to do.
To me, it doesn't really matter, if I was only paying 5 or 10 dollars, and getting a nearly impossible to find transfer, and not having to do any of the work, I would personally consider that pretty good value and wouldn't care much who ended up with the original discs.
e.g. If I could give someone $100 today as part of a group to get an IB print of ANH, have someone scan it and return me a copy of the scan, I wouldn't hesitate. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest who ended up with the physical goods at the end of the day.
Just my 2c.
I was just saying .... the economy is still tight for plenty of folks, myself included, I certainly wasn't trying to be mean.
