Re: dvd

Go back and see posting by C Crisp and replies started on May 19, 2006.

I believe there are earlier postings also, but more of a warning.

I have had good luck with some TV collections, most of which have not been officially released. It's just the only available if you're willing to take a chance at that price.

Some good quality DVD players don't like too much the cheaply produced "private collector" copies. One suggestion is to get a cheap DVD Magnavox for 30-40 dollars.
Supposedly it plays through the "freezes">

Sometimes the quality is clear and excellent, other times, poor, but at least visisble and you can follow the story. Commercials are cut, but you often see station logos.

I have no experience with the Columbo set, but would buy it on a crap shoot if they don't continue to release officially.

Re: dvd

What troubles me about this website is there is no way to "Contact Us" A lot of websites have that as an option. So proceed with extreme caution. I agree with Bob, in a pinch, I'd dole out $99 bucks and hope that paypal would issue me a refund if I never receive the item(s).

If you do order this, please re-post on this site and let us know what happened.

Re: Re: dvd

Re: dvd

Hi Kenneth, Hi everyone!!

I'm new to the board, but a long standing fan of the fabulous Columbo :)
Kenneth there is a lady selling the whole lot of every Columbo ever made on DVD on E-bay. I e-mailed her direct & she agreed to let me have a set for £60 rather than bidding (I already had seasons 1-7 so I contacted her for the others but ended up with the whole lot for no extra). Take a look on E-bay & see if you can find her sales, if not let me know & I'll hunt out her contact for you.
Great to see so many fans around!!
Can I join in??
