I just received an offer to join the CBS Video Club,
which is very tempting.

For agreeing to buy two movies at "regular" club
prices within a year, you can choose one of 100 listed
movies for $4.95 plus a special advance bonus movie
at half price.

The prices do not include "shipping and handling,"
which is $3.00 for the bonus movie.
Is this charge the same for regular offers too?
$3.00 is not bad, since there would be no sales tax.

Are the regular club prices are the same as the
suggested retail prices for the tapes?
Discounts are hard to find on prerecorded tapes,
I can only get 10% off at the local video store.

Also, after you buy the first two movies at
regular club prices, every time you buy another
movie at regular prices, you can buy a second
of equal value or less for 50% off.

The only trick I see is that there is a "Director's
Selection" made every four weeks which is sent
automatically if you do not send back a card
in two weeks.

If anyone is a member or knows something about
the club (good or bad), please mail me any
information you may have.
I'll post a summary of the responses to the net.
