I have.
It took him eleven weeks to ship me three DVDs, and I was continually
advised via e-mail (which he answered with admirable promptness) that the
shipment would arrive "in toto" as soon as his suppliers came through with
the more difficult-to-find titles. I DID get everything I wanted, though it
took rather longer than I expected (Saskatchewan isn't all THAT far from
Wisconsin!). To his credit, he does stipulate on his website that standard
shipment is generally six weeks.
Quality varied sharply from excellent to muddy, but I chalk this up to the
scarcity of some of the titles (without going into detail, I asked for
sample episodes from three very obscure TV series of the 1960s--a few of
which I needed as research for my current book project). Clearly, he must
get his stuff from whatever sources he can find, and collectors can't always
be too choosy. Overall, however, I was satisfied, and there weren't any
technical problems with the DVDs themselves.
I'd say "go ahead" if he has something you need and can't find elsewhere (I
intend to order again sometime in the future). Just don't expect to receive
anything in a hurry.
