So we must spend $20 a script on thestation.com for a B5 script...

just thought you'd be interested to know that for $20 you can buy a
multimedia CD which includes ALL 175 Deep Space Nine scripts along with
their video promos.  Same thing for Next Generation.  Why didn't you do
this?

First, is this CD by any chance licensed?  

Second, that is the going price for actual, physical scripts.  Go to any other
place in town, X-Files, or a script store, and that's the going price to get an
actual script.  Lots and lots of folks don't want just a CD, they want the
physical script.  I can get all of an Mark Twain's books on CD, but I *prefer*
to buy them in book form.

Third, these are collectibles whose value is more than just the paper.

If you don't get that concept, there's nothing I can do that will explain it to
you.
