I'm Selling Out

[Termination]

As the new wave of HD formats hit stores, I am planning on buying one when there is a clear victor hopefully next year. What does this mean with my standard dvd collection.. well..

This is a local sale & not an internet one. yet..

+krammer is needed at the end of my link for you to see my sale. Whatja think?

**************************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) All DvDs were bought New & are in excellent condition. (None are copies)

2) Work in "All" North American dvd players NTSC Region 1 & 0.

3) Prices you see are final. Price ranges are from $5 to $50 with the majority of them being $5. I have put all my titles in "dollar sale categories" to make it easier for everyone & myself.

4) A very few select # of titles I have more than 1 copy.

5) Titles will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.. Example.. If 3 people want the same title & I only have 1 copy of that title, than I will sell to the person who contacts me first. Titles you are interested in and have already contacted me about will not be sold to other people.. unless you change your mind by contacting me. I have not yet set a timeframe for a sale to be completed by.

6) Note, most all titles are Widescreen & represent the original master or theatrical presentation of the film. A very few select # of titles I do own Fullscreen. A number of older release films sometimes include both. To be 100% sure, I will check the title before sale.

7) Please check out this website periodically, as I will be adding a category for "Sale Pending" & "Sold" as well as updating the titles in those 2 categories. www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?id=paul+krammer

8) Delivery - I'd prefer to deliver/deal titles to you through *** area. Depending on how many titles you want.. Example.. more than 20, may exceed my delivery to you in one trip. In that case, I can arrange multiple trips to complete your request. If you are interested in buying 100 or more, I will not be able to deliver, but can provide my address for pick-up.

Are you sure you want to do this? I've read reviews on HD DVD, and they're somewhat disappointing. I don't want to go through the trouble of starting my collection over, either.

From a technical standpoint, HD or High Definition DvDs success, will be measured & determined by the ratio % of people who own a compatible television/projector.

Right now, I can tell you that % is real low.

Plus, there's no decisive winner yet, Blu-Ray or the other HD-DVD format.

Biased as I may be, I think the other format probably has a better chance--it's being pushed by several companies, not just one big one. And the Blu-Ray drives will cost about a grand each--according to early estimates.

Sad as it sounds, whoever the porn industry backs will probably be the big winner.

Indeed, & I don't expect one clear victor for at least a few years. 16x9 television sales have doubled last year & if that trend continues more & more people will be interested in the new formats.

Price wise, yes its very attractive. Software & hardware's SRP is lower than I imagined it would be a year ago. ($2,000US EST per unit & $50US+ per title) First generation HD dvd players from Toshiba/Nec are $499 & $799US ($700 cdn for me) with Sony's Blu-Ray player starting no less than $1000US ($1300 cdn for me) Both Sony & Toshiba have a lot of company support, more leaning in Toshiba's way, but Sony has more Studio support. Thats why this "war" could drag on for years.

That is possible. Of the 302,000 dvds out now, 50,000 are actually non-porn.
