Bill Barounis was a friend of mine in Greece who sadly passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. Bill was, among other achievements, the creator of the Onar DVD label which made many rare Turkish exploitation movies available in English subtitled versions. Below is a post and photo taken from the Mondo Macabro blog by Jared at Mondo Macabro DVD, re-posted here with their permission, on how to get some of these DVDs and, in the process, help Bill's family out.
I can heavily recommend "3 Dev Adam" ("3 Mighty Men" aka "Santo and captain America vs. Spiderman"), one of the most bizarre super-hero rip-off movies ever lensed!

Last year our good friend Bill Barounis tragically died after a long battle with cancer. He left behind both a family and a large overstock of DVDs from his labor-of-love boutique label Onar Films. Thankfully, his friend Ali Murat Guven has endeavored to come to the aid of his grieving family by selling that overstock. I know there are many people who came late to the Onar party or simply weren't able to to pick up every discs at the time. Here's a chance to complete your collection and help out somone in need at the same time.
Here's Guven's statement on What and How:
