Why are you giving up so fast ??? Make whatever offer you can afford to
make, you have nothing to lose and you may get lucky.

need a couple
full fram TBC's as well. As a video professional, I'd
think twice before getting a Toaster for hobby video . . . the new
digital cameras and digital editing is far easier to implement.
The draw backs aren't really going to matter after all... your initial
price of $400 puts one out of my price range. I can't very well even
justify it for using it for editing when I have a perfectly good
firewire
setup with my DV Cam and iMac that so far is doing
everything I need.
I
would like a 2nd video deck, so I would rather put the
money towards a
2nd camera. (that is why I stopped hunting for a good deal on an SVHS
editing system... as much as I would love to have one some day, they
are
still too expensive for me to justify when I can do
everything with my
camera and iMac)
I was kind of hoping by some miracle, the 4000 with Toaster would be
almost worthless, and I could have gotten away with offering a very
low
price. Alas, it appears to be worth some money like I
figured it was.
Thanks for the info.
