Is it appropriate to offer DVDs for sale here?
« on: June 25, 2012, 02:58:53 AM »
Hello cousins! Firstly: I've not been very active on this forum, but I've been reading your episode discussions and commentaries and other discussions/musings with much delight for quite a while now! I discovered Dark Shadows sometime in 2009, and found this forum sometime after that, so I'm quite the newbie. I haven't even seen the whole series yet! Anywho....

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes.

I have been faithfully buying the DVD collections for some years now, and I currently have Beginnings 1-5 and the "regular" Collections 1-16 (but #15 has some faulty discs). I live in Norway, and have been buying them whenever they have been on sale at around $25, so with shipping I've paid ~$30 per box set.

And now the Complete Coffin Collection is coming out (I didn't catch the 1st pressing, so I'm aiming for the 2nd). A quick calculation later, and I discover that buying this complete collection will cost me about as much as buying the individual dvd boxes I don't already own.

So, I want to buy this Complete box set, and if I do I won't have any need for the boxes I already have, so my main question is: would it be appropriate to offer them up for sale here on dsboards.com? I want to sell them for a very fair price - $10 or less per box (a quick check on ebay suggests that a used DS DVD box goes for $13-15 or more). Also, I would like it if I could sell the DVD boxes to one or more fans who'd really appreciate them :) You all seem like such great people :D

So, summary: would it be OK to offer DS DVD box sets for sale here on dsboards.com? I completely understand if it isn't. If it isn't appropriate to sell these here, where would you recommend? Ebay?

Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions/answers/suggestions/hypnosis sessions/seances or anything else you'd like to contribute to this post :D

Hi, The Collinsport Fly,

It's not only appropriate, but there's a precedent for selling merchandise via this particular board.  And your PM mailbox can be used for privately exchanging info.  Good luck to you!

Has DS been seen in Norway?

Thanks for your replies!

No, Dark Shadows has, to my knowledge, never been shown in Norway. I discovered it through a website about old/unknown tv shows!

I am interested. I am missing some volumes.
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.
