Has anyone on this site sold their videos to Filmvault ? If you have how did it go ?

The apostrophe abuse on their website certainly makes them seem like a professional operation.

Apostrophe abuse must stop. Full stop.

Let`s bring an end to punctuation molestation!

P.S. Seriously, though, Filmvault are by all accounts a decent company - you shouldn`t have any problems with them.

Getting reluctantly back on topic - I think these Filmvault people may have something to do with Blackstar`s Video Hunt service.

I`ve used them in the past with no troubles, and they were quite efficient.

If you have at least 70+ videos, they`ll arrange to pick them up from your home and after a few days they`ll send you a cheque. They give a flat rate of about £1.50 (or£2.00 - I can`t remeber) for each film and they don`t charge for the courier pick-up.

If you go to blackstar, the deleted videos such as Robocop go for about £15.00 a time so you can see where their profit margin comes from. On saying that, if you car-booted your old stock you`d only get £1 for each one or so anyway.

You could also go onto E-bay and see if anyone out there wants any rare classics and see what happens. It all depends if you can be bothered or not. You could use Blackstar to identify what videos in yuour colelction are wiorth something and just post those on e-bay and ditch the rest.

I wasn`t bothered and was happy with my couple of quid per video. But, would use them, again (if ever bought any more videos that its!).

sounds interesting, as I have a couple of hundred of the damn things to get rid of.
