Well, I have two copies of the Intervision Video (http://www.angelfire.com/mac/dawnofthedead/zombiesprecert.html) edition of Dawn (one mint, one backup), and a heavily censored Entertainment In Video (http://www.itsonlyamovie.co.uk/COVERS%207/DAWN%20OF%20THE%20DEAD%20COVER%203.jpg) copy. I only keep the second one because it has almost every gore scene trimmed with the exception of the helicopter kill and Flyboy's headshot. I can't see myself selling them for a while yet but if I do, you'll be the first to know. :)

I love the artwork on those. Seriously though, if you see a cheap copy for sale locally, snag it for me.

If I had a third Intervision copy, I'd totally sell it. I only keep a second 'cos I love the cut itself and the trailers are really cool (Night and Shivers in a double bill type trailer). A solo copy is like $60-80 but it's totally worth it. If I see a cheapie, I'll PM ya and snag it matey.

Oh hell, I'm only looking for cheap copies, 10 bucks max. I'm talking 2nd hand and pawn shop type prices :)

For 10 bucks you might find an EIV copy or maybe even an Intervision copy (but broke out of it's cardboard cover and put into a regular plastic cover) but mint, NO CHANCE.

Unless you meet an idiot.

Axlish,
I think i've got the EIV one lying around somewhere. Its a readily available version so has no value. You can have it for free + p&p if you want it because its just taking up space and i have no reason to keep it (i collect the dvd versions instead).
Anyway let me know and i'll dig it out for you.

There is always UK versions on ebay usally only seeling for a pound or two. The only UK videos that make anything half decent is the intervision one.
Your biggest cost will be the shipping from the UK, should be about £4.00

Yes, I am a collector. I am only looking for foreign versions at this point though.
