Good trade with Mark Raby/Kenji Hurlburt

[Matt Ottinger]

Many internet traders are familiar with Mark Raby and his past history as a
trader. A few weeks ago, he contacted me (and several others) using the
pseudonym "Kenji Hurlburt" and telling us he owned some rare videos of game
shows produced in Columbus, Ohio for the interactive QUBE cable system of
the late seventies/early eighties.

After a couple of false starts and minor delays (not the least of which was
owning up to his true identity), I'm happy to report that Mark did, in fact,
deliver these episodes as promised. He upheld his end of the deal in every
way, including sending his tape out first. The video is in fair quality at
best (he did not misrepresent that at all) and while the programs themselves
are terrible, they are nevertheless a fascinating glimpse at an odd piece of
cable television history. I would think that collectors would be very
interested in seeing these shows.

Part of our deal was a promise I made to post this information on the
newsgroup when Mark fulfilled my request. I'm convinced Mark chose to use a
pseudonym not to create another scam but because too many of us were
familiar with his name and would have chosen to ignore him. Once again,
Mark does have these old shows, and to the best of my knowledge he is the
originator of these shows in internet trades. If you're looking for the
best available copies, or if you simply want to deal with the originator out
of respect for his discovery, then make your arrangements with Mark.

Yeah, I remember him. He came to the MSN TPIR board saying he had episodes of
SHower Game and two other games of the late 70s that no one has a tape of.

Yeah and that was about the time that Dickhead Parsons took the shit off
bravenet and move the board to tpir. Raby pulled that shit on Bravenet, i do
believe

I did say I had those episodes, but no one believed me so I did not
rip off anyone with them. It was not a big deal.
