Ordering and Video Quality FAQ
----------------------------------------------

- If you're interested in purchasing tapes, or have any questions,
  please feel free to e-mail me at: octagoncito@juno.com

- Each tape is $10, plus $3 per order for 1st class postage. If
  you're outside the U.S., shipping will cost a bit more.

- Order three or more tapes at once, and shipping is free.

- If you'd like to purchase several videos at once, I'd be willing to
  cut the price per tape. E-mail for more info.

- I prefer payment online by credit card, as it speeds the transaction up
  by a few days. The faster I receive payment, the quicker your videos
  will be sent. www.paypal.com is what I'm set up for at the moment.
  
- If you'd rather pay by mail, I'll gladly accept money orders.
 
- Most orders will be mailed within two or three days after receiving
  payment, depending on the amount of hours needed to be copied. If
  there is a delay in getting your order completed, I'll keep you updated.

- I use quality, name brand blank tapes. Maxell, Sony, TDK, JVC, etc...

- I use new Toshiba and Panasonic 4 head hi-fi VCRs to record videos. 

- Video quality ratings are as follows: 

 - EX = excellent, either recorded off TV, an original tape, or a near
 perfect copy

 - VG = very good, usually a 2nd or 3rd generation copy, only minor
 video faults are present

 - GD = good, color and sharpness are faded, but still plenty
 watchable, no major video faults

 - FR = fair, major video faults are present, barely watchable

 - PR = poor, nearly unwatchable, not worth seeing, unless it's super
 rare footage

- Half grades, such as VG/EX, GD/VG, etc... are used to describe 
  tapes that can be classified as either VQ. I try not to over rate the
  video quality of my tapes. SP mode recordings will obviously look
  and hold up better than EP recordings.

- All videos are NTSC format.
