I'm sure you guys have seen the ridiculous prices this item goes for on Ebay. $80, $100, $120--all just because this thing is out of print? It's shocking; especially when you notice the disconnect between the prices of the VHS version (which is lucky to scrape by a $40 price) and the DVD version.
I, however, was fortunate enough to find a gentlemen selling his DVD-version copy with minimal shelf-wear for a very reasonable $35, which I pounced on. Having just gotten it in and examined it, I'm guessing it's a second pressing, because all of those infamous typos (like the mislabeling of You Lied and Merkaba) are nowhere to be found.
It's interesting, because people try to sell the first-pressing of Salival with all its typos as a rarity, yet for all my searching on ebay it would seem the second pressing is the rarer of the two!
In any case, I just came to celebrate finally having it. I've had the CD and even the DVD bootlegged for years, but I'm a collector at heart, and it feels good to hold the real thing in my hands.
