why are modelling DVDS so bloody dear!!!???	25 Mar 2006 07:28 GMT	3
subject says it all - even out of the United States, where there is a huge market, modelling DVDs are $28+! Most of them are transfers from VHS content so the production costs would be low. I don't mind people making a good living but I reckon these prices are a rip. I am ...

Minor ebay gripe	24 Mar 2006 01:14 GMT	49
Is it just me or do you think that the seller on ebay should always leave feedback for the buyer BEFORE the buyer does for the seller? If I win an auction and pay promptly that is all the seller needs to base his/her comments and feedback should be left immediately. Too many ...
Controller recommendation	23 Mar 2006 17:49 GMT	12
Since my H&M controllers are at least 20 years old and haven't been used too much recently (although they still seem to work well enough), I'm a bit leery of trusting them too much.
Bachmann "Billy" Experience?	23 Mar 2006 16:11 GMT	1
