Hi there, and welcome to my game show trading website. I like all sorts of game shows, and I especially like trading them. Maybe we can expand our collections together.

Notes for trading (changes in red; please read):

1. I send DVDs in the DVD-R format. (Yes, this means I’m giving up on VHS trading unless you’re miraculously found all those supposedly erased Woolery Wheel episodes. I’m not going to send VHS any more, it’s not worth the hassle.) I use SP recording mode, so I can get 2-2.5 hours on a DVD. I will accept either DVDs or VHS in return, but I prefer DVDs. Most of my collection is digitized on my hard drive and I burn you your DVD using Toast 8 by Roxio, so I can move pretty quickly.

2. All trades are done on a one-for-one basis, i.e., a half-hour show for a half-hour of material in return, an hour show for an hour of material in return. In computing the time, whether or not commercials are included, pretend they're there.

3. The link to my current collection is below. Now in HTML format with pictures! Information regarding abbreviations, etc. is also on that page. I’ve listed what I have that is available. If I don’t list it, I don’t have it available; so you don’t need to write and say, “Do you have…”; if I had it, I’d list it!

4. I will update the link below regularly, so check back frequently to see if I have anything new!

5. Feel free to pick out things on my list, but if you do, send me you list at the same time so I can see whether you have things I want that add up to the same amount of time you're requesting from me.

6. I thought that this went without saying, but apparently not. I only accept VHS tapes in SP or EP mode (NOT LP). Also, when you send DVDs, they must be playable on my DVD player and television set. In other words, it is NOT acceptable to send me a CD-ROM with Quicktime or Windows Media Player files. I can't burn a DVD with them because the resolution isn't high enough, and most people won't accept them in return trades. Plus, I don't want to sit in front of my computer and watch them—I want to sit on my couch.
