Sue Fool and Michael Polfax's Trading Emporium
For trading requests or program info, send us an email here!
Yes, we are OPEN!
We both run this site. Michael and I became friends in college
simply because we loved TV and game shows. Before we knew it, our personal
collections became one. Our original site was destroyed, as
per the changes of the Internet. Luckily, we noted everything and moved it here. Look below for the rules and wantlist, then use the tabs to navigate through our collection. Happy trading!
IT'S BACK! Michael's free watermark removal service returns! He can remove those pesky watermarks, so you don't have to! Granted, smaller watermarks yield better results than larger ones, and moving watermarks are not supported. Watermarked episodes (noted with a "✓") in our collection have this option as well. Please let us know if you'd like the original or edited copy. Enjoy!

Quality Key
- Ⓐ Pristine; Applies to VHS and HD. No problems. A rating of "A+" occurs when it could NOT be any better.
- Ⓑ Better; Minor imperfections. A rating of "B-" defines blurry (oftentimes 360p) video quality.
- Ⓒ Conditional; The video or audio has problems. One of the two makes it good enough to watch.
- Ⓓ Oh-Kay; Consistent problems throughout with the audio AND video. The chef does not recommend these, and anything rated "D" is usually tossed when another copy is found.
