I'd much prefer to trade for other films than to sell, 'cos movies on
Beta are getting harder and harder to find these days.  I'm especially
looking forward to any good stuff that you new LaserDisc fans now
consider to be redundant in your Betamax tape collections! (-;

Please feel free to resubmit your list even if we had been in contact
but hadn't transacted; I may have changed my mind since ...

PS: For those of you who wonder, Beta is alive as a pro/hobbyist
format ... there's life beyond the corner video store! (-;
