Complete box set of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, in perfect condition, for $40 from a pawn shop going out of business. Mind you, this was when the set was selling everywhere for well over $100!

When a local shop here closed, on the last day he said anything I wanted was $1 used, $2 new. No real collectors items, but I did grab a few Criterion Charades and a all in all I grabbed well over 125 discs. I sold a bunch on eBay to get my money back and when I was done, I still had about 100 discs at no charge.

Wow some of you guys really know how to bargain hunt. Too bad we have no deal hunts in Houston. You see one pawn shop or used dvd store you've seen them all. (sigh)

Scarface, This Is Spinal Tap, TFTC: Demon Knight, The Unbearable Lightness of Being: CC, Silence of the Lambs: CC are all oop discs I picked up used at a local used dvd store for around $15 a pop. I think someone sold thier collection without realizing what they had, because I haven't seen anything good there lately.

Two things:
Wal-Mart was having a sale on Armageddon, and all they had was the Criterion, so the guy was like, "Yeah that's the one on sale." So instead of paying $49.99 which is the price the sticker had I paid $17.99.
You know on Amazon when something is out of print and you want a copy of it you can click and say "In the future if a copy of this appears I would like to buy it" ... Well, that's how I got Pasolini's Canterbury Tales for $32. I haven't seen it for under $75 anywhere.

I too have scored at local shops with Criterions for $15 (SOTL, Robocop, The Rock, Rushmore, and Third Man). LOTR:EE for $19 at Target was nice as well. BUT NOTHING beats the Suncoast deal! X-Files Season 3 & 4 and the Cosmos box set for $16 each.
