I've only lent my set out once, but fortunately it did result in a pretty dedicated convert. Also, I had Serenity to get me my Firefly fix while she had my set, and the episodes were on SciFi...but yeah, it was still hard. Afterwards I ended up buying her a set of her own anyway.

I lent them out once to a coworker(semi- converted)and was on the edge of an anxiety attack until they were returned.
Thinking about buying another set to lend out.
BTW viewing parties are a great idea. I can never get enough of Firefly. At my second Serenity viewing I was glancing at the audience for their reaction about half of the time and a Firefly DVD marathon with lots of popcorn sounds great.

I went with seven people to the movies, and when what we were seeing was sold out, I suggested serenity(no one had heard of it). Every single person was completely amazed by the movie, and I immediately ordered the firefly dvds.
the next week, we all crammed into my dorm room and watched the eps. I've lent them out to two other people who have both become addicts and seen the movie.

I have lent my first set out so much I have lost count. In the year I have had them I think that set has spent a total of 1 month under my own roof. The person who has it now, has had it for at least three months and hasn't watched an ep yet!
She has even seen the BDM and loved it, and yet hasn't watched any of the series!
Good thing I have a second set that under absolutely NO circumstances does it ever leave my posession!

I loaned my 1st copy out 7 times, and then I just gave it away and purchased more copies.
I finally figured out how I could get my Firefly fix while I'm away from home. I purchased one of those new IPOD music/video players. The one I have has 60 gigabytes of hd space, so what I did was I turned around and converted my new Firefly DvDs into a MP4 format, and then I downloaded them into my IPOD. Each 45 minute Firefly episode came out to be about 125MBs, which is nothing to a player with a 60 gig capacity.
I can watch 'em anytime or anyplace I desire now!

Mine is on loan right now.
Previously I've lent it out to four people in total and only failed to convert one of them. The other three all loved it. Two of them immediately bought their own DVD sets and have been creating more browncoats themselves by lending them out!

Just the once. (My bought-on-Holiday US 4-case-set) to someone who is notoriously slow to actually bloody get round to watching the thing at all.
However, I'm entirely sure they'll like it (a Bab 5 fan). If they don't... not my problem. It just means they are, if not necessarily a bad person, then one with no taste.
I'm kind of intrigued as to how long it'll take before I get the set back. Been well over 6 months so far.
I'm patient, and I've got another UK edition of my own, naturally.

I have a huge problem, i really want my friends to see Firefly but i just can't part with my DVDs. What if soemthing (GOD FORBID) should happen to them? I would be stuck without Firefly for far longer than i would like...
...should i take the risk and make Browncoats of my colleagues...?

I forgot to mention that the 1st time I loaned out my 1st copy of Firefly The Complete series DVDs, it was on a Friday and I told the person I was loaning them to that I wanted them back on Monday.
The big dope promised me that he would have them back to me on Monday, so when he didnt bring them to work that day, I went home with his azz after work to ensure I got them back. He thought I was weird for doing this, but I suspect YOU people in this forum KNOW WHY I wanted them back, so I feel justified.
Long live the Browncoats!!!
Enuff said.
P.S. Anyone who keeps your FF DvDs for more than a week should be shot.

I haven't lent out my Firefly DVDs YET. I usually don't like to lend stuff like this out to friends (they'll lose it, or something), but I'm thinking of lending them one disk at a time to some new Firefly/Serenity converts.
