Do you all have any places that you buy serials from that you recommend? Or places that you specifically recommend you not buy from?

If you mean DVD releasers to avoid, then stay away from:

Alpha
Platinum
Echo Bridge
Madacy

Companies that usually produce good work:

VCI
Serial Squadron
Grapevine Video

Hit-and-miss companies include:

Cheezy Flicks
AC Comics

I'm sure others can elaborate and/or add more.

Trevor is a good source for serials that are hard to find

Duh! Thanks, Don. I knew I would forget someone. I've been very pleased with Trev's product.

It can be companies who release good or bad products, or individuals who sell the, or whatever. I know Ebay has people who sell them on there. Some of the guys who sell on Ebay are Bigger Buford, Continued next week serials, Classic movies and cliffhangers, and several others. Anyone ever order from any of them? What about any of the dealers from other sites? Are these guys selling decent copies, or just crap?

Personally, I don't deal with eBay at all. I only buy through Amazon or directly from the serial releaser.

For me, for non-commercial releases I rely on trades with friends. I haven't counted lately, but I have over 200 of the sound serials.

Well, I've been at this for a long, long time. If I want to see a serial that isn't available now I drag out my VHS copy, so my advice is no use to you.

I haven't, never heard any complaints, either. But I did just check out his site and he charges $30 for a serial on DVD-R. So it's not cheap.

Yep, those are too expensive for me. :-/
