THE FAMOUS FIVE 1990S TV SERIES

Post by thefamousfive »

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has these episodes for sale, from the 1990s famous five series starring Jemima Rooper, Marco Williamson, Laura Petela etc? I would only buy these on Video? But if you do have them, can you please let me know and if you are willing to sell them, tell me when you are going to list them on ebay. How much would you accept either as a set or individually including postage and how many days it will be listed for. Please just let me know as soon as you can!!!! about this I would really appreciate it as I am trying to collect them all at the moment. I remember watching it when i was younger and it brings back so many great memories!!!!! :D

Thanks again, Euan.

We do already have a 90's thread somewhere. Maybe Anita or Tony will be good enough to merge this thread with the other one?

Sorry to be a nag, but you've definitely already posted asking people if they have these, and again, the post belongs in 'wanted'.

Also, just wanted to point out a few small details.

1. If people here have these items to sell, by putting them on eBay they have to pay an insertion fee and then give eBay about 5% of the total sale. A lot of people prefer to just agree a price here and sort out the sale without the middle man as it were.

2. Even if someone did have the videos and put them on eBay for you it's an open site and someone else could buy them before you.

If all fails, typing the famous five dvd into Ebay usually brings them up!
TBH, I don't think I've seen the separate sets crop up in aaaaaaages, tho granted I might've missed 'em....

Yes, I had to move two of your posts from "Blyton on TV" to "Wanted" earlier, Euan. And now I'll have to move this thread too, and then merge it. It pays to take time to get to know the forums before posting.

Hello, This is for Zar Quon - Well I know what you mean but I have been doing some searches and have found more Famous Five Videos from the 1990s series. Finally, Anita Bensoussane - Well that's ok its just I wanted to see if anyone would reply about the 1990s series if i put up a new topic - surely there's nothing wrong with it. The recent I put it there was cause one would assume different people look at different sections in the forum. Also, I am very new to this so just trying to get the hang of it. I have only just put a picture up and repllied to the answers that I received about The Famous Five 1990s Tv Series. I don't know how to do anything else yet so please just bear with me.

Thanks, Euan.

Oh, the VHS's crop up plenty. Gonna cost you loads more in the long run tho. Or even possibly the fairly short run.

If you refer to the VHS comment, simply that to get even half a dozen will likely sting you 25 or 30 quid - judging by a quick shuftie at ebay, whereas you can get the dutch set for a shade over the tenner, plus a Smugglers Top vhs for around a fiver. And I'm all for conserving the dosh, me :)

And I've this > Clicky < bookmarked for quick 'n' easy squizzage.

Hi again, Well I see what you mean. I do have the dutch boxset but it only has 3 discs it was ment to have 6 discs but they didn't have the one with six discs in stock so i was happy with this one. So I am trying my best to collect the rest of the episodes on Video. They end on Thursday evening so I will try and bid on one or two of them then :) on Ebay.

Thanks, Euan.

Ah, but if you get the Not-quite-complete complete dutch set, & a smugglers Top VHS, and *then* list your current half set, you should be better off.
