a lot of people are bidding on Indonesian movies it seems. I made what I think was my highest bid ever for a videotape recently on "Empire on Fire" and still lost out in the end :(
(And I don't even know how sword&sorcery-y the movie is, maybe it wasn't even worth (in respect to my collection) to go so high for it!! :))
so... why are these mondo macobro dvd's not selling in the thousands then?

That's a very good point!!! :huh: :huh:
I don't get it either! Maaaybe it's because more people are only collectors of rare tapes and not genuine fans of Indo movies. They are rare so they collect. They are the latest fad on the collector scene right now. Sad for those of us who actually like the films.

And I saw that auction and I made a couple of bids for it myself but decided to stop since Lefteris' description of it (at his site) was a bit vague. I'll get the boot at some stage instead.

I think that must be it. It's what made me go that extra bit anyway, thinking I could always get most if not all of my money back if it wasn't a movie I needed to keep

There's only a few Indo & Hong Kong releases that have my interest, but when I do come across them I usually pick em up for a nice swap, as there seem to be many people into these tapes lately :)

I went a bit overboard I think on beach of the war gods, but after Harm sold the Dutch one before I could make a deal for it with him, I just had to have this one :)
