U.S. customers can now pay by credit card using PayPal. PayPal will give you $5 to sign up with them and won't charge you a penny to use their service. Once you've taken a few minutes to sign up, all you have to do to send money to me is is type in either LigerRules@aol.com or M.L.Liger@juno.com and the total of the order. It's that easy. To make things even better, I can send your tapes even faster because I don't have to wait around for the post office to deliver your envelope. If you've moved since your last order, you'll need to notify me of your new address because I won't have anything with a return address to check it against.

Contact info
All orders and inquiries should be e-mailed to M.L.Liger@juno.com. When you e-mail me your order, I'll send you the information necessary to make the payment (I like to know what orders are coming, so I can plan my dubbing accordingly and get everyone their tapes as fast as possible. This helps ensure that orders don't just pop up in my mailbox).

Pricing
Regular Price tapes: If the tape doesn't have a specific price listed, then it's a regular price tape. The cost of regular price tapes are as follows:
$15 for the 1st tape
$12 for the 2nd tape (thus two tapes costs $27)
$10 for each additional tape (thus three tapes costs $37, four tapes costs $47, five tapes cost $57, and so on)

Special Price tapes: If a tape says *Special Price $ (insert price)* then it's a special price tape and costs the said price. The special price tape does NOT count toward the regular price deal, meaning if you buy a special price tape and a regular price tape, you don't get the regular price tape for $12. However, if you buy two special price tapes in the same order (or one double set), each regular price tape you buy in addition to those two costs only $10.

Replica Package
For all the tapes I have originals of, and specified tapes that I don't, a high quality color Xerox of the video box cover may be purchased for $2.25 each. For US customers, a hard plastic video cassette storage case with a window to put the Xerox in may be purchased for an additional $3.25 each. Thus, the replica package costs $5.50. I highly recommend these because the pictures are usually fantastic, and it allows the tapes that might otherwise clutter your home (you wouldn't want to see what mine looks like) to instead be a great decoration. Foreign customers should inquire about the price of the hard case because there may be an additional fee for postage.

Payment
Orders can be paid for by cash, money order, PayPal, Western Union (add $2 to the total) or a check. Only U.S. currency will be accepted.
To avoid the possibility of confusion, please include a list of the tapes I need to send with the payment.

Shipping
Orders paid by PayPal will be mailed as soon as I can dub the tape and get to the post office. Orders paid by money order or cash will most likely be mailed 1-2 days after receipt. Orders paid by check may be held up to 14 days after receipt to ensure that the check clears.

In the U.S., postage is free. Orders of 1 tape will be sent via first class mail and orders of two or more tapes will be sent via priority mail.

For foreign orders, shipping options vary from country to country so I can't say exactly what method I'll use to send your tapes. Don't worry, I'm not going to send them on the "slow boat" or anything like that. You'll generally have your tapes somewhere between 3-15 days after I mail them.

For orders being mailed to Canada or Mexico, add $2.50 postage per tape.
For orders being mailed outside North America, add $5 postage per tape.

Equipment
Generation loss is a fact of life when dealing with analog media. I want your copy to look as close to mine as possible though, so I only use top notch equipment. All my VCR's were the top VHS models available in the store at the time of purchase. Currently, I'm playing tapes on Sony SLV-M20HF, Sony SLV-960HF, and Go DDV9500 decks. I'm currently recording on Sony SLV-M20HF, Sony SLV-960HF or Go DDV9550 decks. Unless you are using Go Video dual decks, dubbing wires (a.k.a. video cables) are almost as important as the VCRs themselves for maintaining the quality of the dubs. Currently, I'm using Monster Video 2 cables with all my decks, costing me $50 a set.

Recording Speed
Nothing is more annoying than someone who sends you a tape that's 2 hours and 10 minutes on LP or EP/SLP, yet that's what you get from a lot of dealers and traders. Sure T-160's cost more than T-120's, but it's pretty sad to ruin the quality of a video over a dollar, especially if someone is paying good money for a tape. In order to preserve the video quality as much as possible, all tapes that are 2 hours and 45 minutes or less will be recorded in SP.

Guide To Video Quality
Unlike too many people I've come across, I don't say, "Wow, I can actually make out these people's faces, so I'll claim that this is excellent quality." Certainly every tape I own isn't perfect quality, but I find it's much better to try to be fair when rating video quality because otherwise you are just going to wind up with a lot of headaches, unsatisfied customers/traders, and a bad reputation. For the most part, the quality ratings refer to the quality of my tape. In some cases, I've listed the quality of a tape as very good even though my copy is marginally excellent because I know the tape won't look excellent when I copy it. That said, all the tapes are going down a generation when I dub them so like anyone else, some of my tapes that are excellent are only going to be very good when you get a hold of them. That's not the problem though (well, it is to some extent, but it's one that can really only be solved by switching to a digital format). The problem is the tapes that are supposed to be excellent, yet when you get them they look only good or pretty good, and that's what I'm trying to avoid here by not calling good quality stuff excellent quality.

In order to save some time, I don't type out excellent or whatever the quality is for each tape. Sometimes the quality of a tape is in between two levels, so I list it as say VG-Ex. This means, it's not quite what I'd call excellent, but it's better than what I'd call very good. I'm going to skip over this situation because there's really nothing more to say about it. Here is what the rest of my video quality abbreviations mean.

Q=Master. I own the actual commercial tape.

Q=TFDVD. This was taped from the DVD by one of my suppliers. Quality should look like an original.

Q=TFLD. This was taped from the Laserdisk by one of my suppliers. Quality should look like an original.

Q=TV Master. This was taped from TV by either myself or one of my suppliers.

Q=Near Perfect 1st Gen. A copy (almost always from a commercial tape) that has suffered very little degradation. This is what you'll get if you get a copy of something I have the original of. The quality of these tapes is about the same as watching my cablevision.

Q=1st Gen. A first generation copy from an original or TV Master. I rarely call anything from TV near perfect because cablevision isn't perfect. In any case, these are excellent or better (unless otherwise noted), but aren't near perfect due to the reception, the equipment used to make the dub, or the original itself.

Q=Ex. An excellent quality tape. This is generally a 2nd generation tape, but sometimes is a 3rd generation tape. You can tell you are watching a tape because the quality has been reduced by the dubbing process, but there's really nothing wrong with it (unless stated).

Q=VG. A very good quality tape. This is somewhere between 2nd-4th generation, usually 3rd generation. The picture isn't as sharp as a tape in excellent quality, but if there are any problems, they should be minor (sometimes these might have a little wave or roll, for instance). Q=Gd. A good quality tape. This is somewhere between 2nd-5th generation. This is more of a feel rating, so it's hard to narrow down. The picture might not be all that sharp, or there might be a problem such as tracking.

Q=PG. A pretty good quality tape. This is somewhere between 3rd-6th generation. This tape has some problems that may or may not distract you. If you are watching to see the wrestling, you should be alright. If you are concerned with the video quality, I'd avoid this and everything below it.

Q=Fair. A fair quality tape. This tape is watchable, but has problems that distract if not annoy me.

Q=Poor. This tape is a real piece of shit and has several problems or one really bad problem that will hamper your ability to enjoy the action. You will rarely see a tape like this on my list.

Information For Buying Compilation Tapes
Below are the price listings and other necessary information needed if you are interested in buying a compilation tape from me. Matches from any tape in my catalog are available for comp. tapes with the exception of matches that encompass an entire tape (for example the Chigusa Nagayo vs. Yukari Omori match from 10/20/87). Also, complete tapes are not available to be put onto a comp. tapes. These rules can only be bypassed if it's by special request at a special price agreed upon by myself and you. Matches are taped starting with the introducions of the wrestlers and ending after any post match footage in the ring (backstage interviews will not be put on unless requested). When requesting a match please be specific as to what tape it is on and what date the match took place (the easiest thing is to cut and paste my header) because in most cases the wrestlers have fought more than once, in some cases even on the same tape. The minimum length a compilation tape can be purchased for is 2hr, while the maximum is 8hr. Of course, if you want more than 8hr you can get more than one compilation at once. I strongly urge you to get all compilations on SP (up to 2hr 40min are recorded on SP) because EP does nothing but ruin the video quality.

Compilation tape Price Structuring:
$25.00 for 2 hours
$32.00 for 2 hours 40 minutes SP
$35.00 for 3 hours
$45.00 for 4 hours
$55.00 for 5 hours
$65.00 for 6 hours
$75.00 for 7 hours
$85.00 for 8 hours

When you decide on what you'd like to put on the tape e-mail me the list. If you will only pay for a certain number of hours then either send a list numbered in order of importance or send a group of matches that are musts and another group of matches that are on the fence. This will help allow me to get back to you with a concrete price for the tape, and eliminate those useless emails where I have to tell somebody that 20 All Japan Budokan main events are not going to fit on a 2 hour tape, so please send me a new list with the four that you want the most. Anyway, the price I give you will always be an estimate based on how many hours all the matches should add up to, as I do not find every single tape and rewind from the end of the match until I'm ready to make the comp. There might be a rare instance where I say a tape will run say 6 hours and it only turns out to run 5 hours and 15 minutes (as an example). If such a case should occur where the tape runs more than a half an hour under the hour you paid for then I will let you know and you can select an additional match to put on the tape for no extra charge. This only applies to differences of 30 minutes or more. This virtually never happens, but I'd like to cover any possible questions you may have. No tape will be started or especially sent until I recieve payment for the tape. Since each match has to be dubbed individually, an order for a comp. tape will take slightly longer than for a normal tape. At most it could take up to 10 days after I receive your envelope or PayPal payment. but in most cases I get comps. shipped out in under a week.

Trading
If all my tapes were originals or TV Master, I might be happy.:) Until then, if you have something you think I could use, please bring it to my attention. Before doing so, here are a few things you should know.

1) I'll only trade for puroresu, Lucha, and mixed martial arts tapes. I'm interested in trading for pururesu magazines, Mooks, photobooks, CD's, CD-ROM's, and possible other merchandise/memorabilia.

2) I'm not interested unless the tape you'll be sending me will be 1st generation or better. I will only consider making an exception to this if something is old or rare. For instance, I'm very interested in getting AJW TV from the 1970's and 1980's in excellent quality.

3) I am always looking to upgrade my collection, so I will trade for something I already have if you meet the criteria listed in 2) and my copy does not.

4) In our first trade, I won't send you anything until I see what your tapes look like. When I get your tapes, I'll immediately check them out and I'll either send you the tapes you selected pronto or I'll send back the tapes you sent me (so if I have to do this, we both lose out on the postage and are stuck with the tapes we made for each other until someone else wants them). I hate to have to do this, but I've been burned way too many times by people who either don't send me anything at all or can't provide close to the quality they claim they can.
