been keeping track on a vhs version of Scotland, PA on eBay. are you familiar w/ this movie? it's an indie that came out a couple years ago. basically, it's Macbeth set in a 1970's fast food joint in a fictitious Scotland, Pennsylvania. if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it. talk about hilarious!!! James LeGros, Maura Tierney, and Christopher Walken are spectacular in this crazy adaptation...
i was outbid a few days ago, the price is just $1 more than my highest bid. i'm hoping to slide in a desperation bid in the next three minutes, when the auction ends.
lately, i've been looking for tapes of things that aren't available on DVD yet. most recently, lois and i have been checking out old Carol Burnett shows, which are actually a hot commodity...
argh!!! i slipped and couldn't quite get the last bid in. ah well, that final price i was contemplating was probably too much...and who knows if i would have topped the other bidder. i've only won a bidding war a couple times in the last four years anyway.
oh well, as i was saying, the Carol Burnett vhs tapes that were put out by Columbia House in the late 1990's are commanding some serious prices. just a couple weeks ago, we were prepared to pay about $49 for seven tapes that someone was offering on eBay. the bids were fast and furious...i think the winning bidder paid nearly $70 - too rich for us.
so, we're just keeping an eye out for cheap tapes. unfortunately, i just realized a few minutes ago that i let one auction of 4 Carol Burnett tapes lapse. and of course, no one bid on them ($.99!!!). and now that the auction is over and the items will be relisted, someone's gonna find it and want to pay more than me...
btw, Denny, how goes the truck search?
hmph, there are some cheap DVDs of Scotland, PA. maybe i'll try my luck on those...
