Default Cowboy bebop box set on DVD

Well, i finally got the box set a couple of months ago.

watched the whole thing through to the ending.

quite a story.

thanks for the comments from those of you who steered me into the right direction in the other thread.

if anyone wants the box set i'll sell it to you for a single 20 dollar bill.

Why do you want to sell it? And why so cheap?

well firstly... i dont know if i would ever watch the series all the way through again.

it was a great series, one of those where each episode builds on to the last, and makes you wonder what will happen next time.

so... all of Coyboy Bebop's secrets are known to me now.

Secondly, the box set i have - new is only about $30 hence the $20 used price

EDIT:

not that the purpose of my post is to sell this thing... but more to open discussion as to what a great series it was.

Pitiful ending though. At least IMHO it left WAY too many questions open ended. (like - unfortunately - so many series' do)

This sounds like some sort of Texas porn? But the, GR probably wouldn't be selling it.

I would take you up on that offer GR but a) I don't have $20 and b) I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic (and NTSC/PAL system) but Cowboy Bebop is a fantastic series, I've got the first three DVDs and the movie (you have watched that, right?) and although I haven't seen all of it yet (working through Neon Genesis Evangelion at the moment) it's a fantastic series nonetheless, quality animation, storyline and voicing. All in all, fantastic

I'll re-negotiate for GR; I translate. How about 25 pounds?

I don't have 25 quid either, the fun spot in-between pay days, plus there's the small incompatibility between your DVDs and ours Thanks for the offer though

I used to watch it on one of the sky tv channels, it was animeTV or something like that. Was Cowboy Bebop and they used to show another endless series too... Ghost in the Shell SAG? something like that.
I never got to see the beginning or the end of either series on tv, just the same dozen or so episodes, all showing at 3am or some other daft time of day. Pity really as they were loads better than watching eastenders or corrie

I believe the one you mean Jumpy was Anime Central, was quite a good channel, but doomed because of an awkward time slot.

I watched the entire series on one channel or another. It's very good, but I agree about the ending.

Speaking of anime, did anybody ever watch "Starblazers?" (space battleship Yamato?) Pretty cool show.
