Hi Randy,
If you are still need to find a home for your music video masters,
please see www.DonationOffers.com
Individuals and organizations now have a simple way to give and
receive donations of unneeded items with www.DonationOffers.com, a new
(and completely free) online service.
A free service where people and groups can help reduce the planet's
waste crisis and foster increased empathy by passing on usable items
to others who can use them.
If you have items you no longer need... use this service to offer them
for donation.
You may elect to require a receipt from a recognized non-profit
charity if you desire a tax writeoff.
If you need to acquire items at minimal cost... use this service to
find items that others are willing to give you.
Items change hands either through local pickup or by shipment (the
person offering the item chooses who pays any shipping charge).
Regards,
Kevin Zaleski
