With Netflix closing down its DVD by mail service today, I did a Web search for any surviving DVD by mail services and was pleasantly surprised to find a couple. One was CafeDVD (which seems to have a rather limited selection, which is probably why I never joined up with them in the past), and another was Scarecrow Video in Seattle, which appears to be a non-profit video store that is located in Seattle and (the part that makes it of interest to someone like me who live on the east coast) they have started up a rent by mail service that apparently offers a good portion of their tremendously large DVD selection.
So -- Does anyone from the Seattle area have anything they can share about Scarecrow Video? Apparently James Jacobs loved the place as of about a dozen years ago.
I must admit that I am having a tough time wrapping my head around their business model, but it does look like something that I should look into further if their prices are reasonable and they can stay in business as they are.

I went there a few times when I lived there 20 years ago, they were extremely knowledgeable and professional.
