this year for my birthday i bought myself the 'buffy the vampire slayer' box set. it wasn't something i was planning on buying, but when i saw a posting over @ whedonesque.com informing me that the buffy box set was the amazon deal of the day, i really couldn't pass it up. and truly, it was a great deal! i got all seven season plus a couple of fancy pants bonus discs for 79 clams--like 60% off the list price [it's actually too much math to wrap my head around, so i just guessed].
the only problem with purchasing the box set was that i already owned seasons 1 and 2. so, since i no longer have need for seasons 1 and 2, i'll sell them to anyone making a reasonable offer--and i'm very reasonable. in you are interested, name your price. it's just that simple and you don't have to listen to william shatner do my bidding! [way to insert a pun, matt]. you can post in the comments section or email me @ matt_lohrke@yahoo.com. really, no reasonable offer refused.
if you've never seen buffy the vampire slayer before, you're really missing out on some of the best television ever produced. i honestly can't believe i slagged off this show for as long as i did. i had absolutely no interest whatsoever in watching it. it just seemed so ridiculous: 'unto each generation a slayer is born, yeah, yeah, yeah...' no, thanks. little did i know, little did i know. fortunately, i saw my errors and repented accordingly. i don't know that i've ever seen a show with more genuine heart, warmth and humor as this one. this is one of the few shows that actually elicited tears from the concrete glands of mine. that's sayin' something right there. well, i actually cry pretty reguarly during movies and tv shows -- ok, it's more like 'tear up,' but you know what i mean. the only exception was 'savannah smiles' -- i cried like a baby at the end of that one. who can resist the sweet tale of a little girl touching the hearts of two grizzled and hardended con men? not i, not i. now's the time for you to repent, too, and get on the buffy bandwagon.
but in all seriousness, this is my 2nd most beloved television show of all time [nothing will ever top 'battlestar galactica.' ever]. i've yet to watch seasons 6 and 7 because i just don't want it to end. i know i eventually will, but it's nice knowing there's still more for me to discover and fall in love with.
so if you're not already amongst the legion of buffy disciples, or even if you are but you've never owned the dvds, here a chance to own the first two seasons of one of the most beloved series ever.
for sale: buffy dvds

I finished Buffy a few months ago and was depressed for a couple weeks until I discovered Firefly & Serenity, also by Joss Whedon. Totally cheered me up!
