Another person is selling a complete set of DS MPI VHS tapes as well as hoDS and NoDS on VHS. Check out the details:

Dark Shadows Collection - $250

[Gerard]

Not a bad price at all, about a buck a video (if they're in good condition).  Back in the 90's, I contemplated buying the whole set in one fell swoop and called MPI and asked how much it would cost.  The guy said he didn't know - no one ever wanted to buy the whole spiel at one time; he'd have to call me back.  He did and said they would sell it all to me for $1,000, shipping included.  I never followed through, not because I couldn't afford it back then, but just because I thought having over 200 videos would be a bit much and I had limited space.

At one of the Friends of the 1991 DSTarrytown events, someone was trying to give away a complete set of tapes (without the movies) and couldn't unload them, so this person may have a difficult time getting $250.for them.

Uncle Roger,

Do you remember when KLS was shilling the MPI videotapes on commercials shown during the Sci-Fi Channel's airing of Dark Shadows over 15 years ago?  (My, it seems like only yesterday!)

[Uncle Roger]

She's moved on to shilling for other things. The more things change....

It seems as if KLS and Jim Pierson collaborate on many projects also.

Uh, as soon as my husband hooks up the VCR, I was going to go through my VHS tapes.

Then, I was going to ask if anyone here wanted my UNMARked (no episode numbers) DS VHSs (you'd pay shipping).

Am I duffy?

I didn't say a word, Patti.

I didn't read the first two sentences.

Mine are NOT MPI; they're recorded off TV.

Patti's post reminds me that I must have my complete set of VHS tapes recorded from the Sci-Fi channel's airing of the series. Commercials and all ... with a handful of missed episodes supplemented by the tapes purchased by MPI (and if I can recall far enough back, I even think that Midnite might have supplied me with a recording of an early episode I missed!). I don't see any point in keeping them if I ever work my way back to the plastic bins where they must be in the basement now ... Having the complete set on DVD is a major improvement (no cable problems, no commercials, not to say a more convenient media format). I thought again recently about whether to purchase that complete set in the wooden coffin from MPI ... as a backup - but really have nowhere to put it ...

[Patti Feinberg]

...but we couldn't sell ours (since they're recorded off Sci-fi).

But, just out of curiosity, would anyone want the entire series on VHS (again, not numbered)??
