Robert, the R in RACS, reports from the retail front:

Just a quick post to let everyone know that since about the 3rd week of August the flow of Anime trade in's to arrive here at the warehouse has picked up from their regular flow to pretty much a total avalanche, and we've been struggling a bit to keep up. Seriously, I've never seen anything like it!

But the Feds told us that the recession was over!

I considered sending a few DVDs to Robert, in particular various duplicates that occured when companies switched to thinpacks and sets became impossible to complete. I'm pretty sure I have scattered volumes of Stratos 4 and Dai-Guard as well as thinpacks. But the trade-in conditions are too disadvantageous to bother getting my butt to nearest shipping store. I'm not complaining, it's how the conditions must be, because I'm sure that people send a lot of nasty garbage that's impossible to resell. Just stating the facts. Note that I'm a frequent shopper at RACS and can use essentially any kind of store credit.
