Arcadia's tape trade list

Status: Open

Orders waiting: None

Hello and welcome to my tape trade list. Looking to add to your anime collection, and maybe help someone else add to theirs, too? You've come to the right place! Here I have listed all the anime I have available, and what I'm looking for. Feel free to look around. If you see something you want and want to trade, please email me.

Terms and stuff

Update: The equipment's back up, so I'm accepting trades again.

I can record stuff in NTSC VHS and DVD-R formats. I cannot do VCD, SVHS or PAL (although I may be able to VCD shortly).

I've listed what I'm especially looking for at the bottom of the page, but I'll trade for just about anything I don't already have. Unless stated otherwise, I don't care if it has subtitles or not (It MUST have japanese dialogue, though. NO DUBS!). At the moment, I'm only looking for things in NTSC VHS, VCD or DVD-R formats.

A note on DVD-Rs:
Most DVD players on the market today can play DVD-Rs, but not all of them. Please make sure your player can play DVD-Rs before ordering one. I wouldn't want you to get stuck with a disc you can't play!

I'd prefer to trade tapes, but if you don't have anything to trade with, that's okay. You can get stuff from me for $5 (if you're in the US) per tape (recorded SP speed), with a maximum of three tapes per order. If you're outside the US, the cost depends on how much postage to your country will cost.

Once again, if you're not trading, there's a maximum of three tapes per order. Please don't email me asking things like "How much for the entire XXXX series?". I will most likely ignore you if you do. If you want an entire series, order the first three tapes first. Once you get those, you can order the next three, and so on.

Feel free to mix and match.

Turnaround time varies, depending on how busy I am, how much of a backlog I have, and whether or not the equipment is in working order. See the order status above for backlog info.

If you see anything on my list that has been released commercially, please let me know and I'll take it off.

An explanation of the table

Title: This is the title of the anime. But you probably figured that out already.
#: Episode/volume numbers. For one-shot OAVs/movies and the like, it's left blank. A * in the field indicates a complete series.
Sub: Whether it has subtitles or not. Y = subtitled (fansub); N = unsubtitled (straight japanese). A * in this column means it is available both with or without subtitles. Sometimes, if the volume numbers or picture quality is different, I've listed subbed and unsubbed versions on seperate lines. NONE of the anime listed here has english dialogue, so don't ask.
Length: How long the anime is.
Quality: Video quality on a scale of A to F, with + and - thrown in.

Comments: Any additional information about the show/tape.
