They will never see another penny from me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago* I would be quite tempted if (someone else) was offering DVD and game rentals by mail. Honestly I just wish there was a place like Scarecrow Video in the UK. It's pretty much the one thing I don't get here compared to Seattle.
