I'd like to know the same thing... seriously you'd think a market like the Bay Area would be in on these things... then again we don't have a Game Rush either.

RE: PapaJohns DVD's ... I was turned down at one BBV saying it needs the case and covers etc... but drove down the street to another and they have taken all the disks (I've only given them the disk only not that cardboard thing it comes with)... no problems. Worked for Corina Corina, Drop Dead Fred, and W@BerniesII. As with anything BBV... always seems YMMV for me.
My nephew thinks W@Bernies I is the best movie ever made so I may just give him that for Christmas.
I wonder if they would price the Rocky&Bulwinkle disk (as the set) even though it's one disk with a few episodes. That would def. depend on the Clerk.

So you definitely get $8 for ANY dvd? Because I have some to trade in that I couldn't sell for $8 on any planet.
I may be blowing smoke out my ass when I say this, but it seems like these types of differences come from whether or not a particular BBV is privately owned or a corporate store. I remember reading something about that on other deals.

Here are the ones I am thinking about selling:
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
Basic
Billy Madison
Clerks
Crocodile Hunter
Dr. Strangelove (upcoming SE)
Dungeons and Dragons
Fists of Fury, Chinese Connection (horrible PQ)
Gia (original)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (original)
A Guy Thing
Happy Gilmore
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Married... with Children - The Most Outrageous Episodes!, Vol. 1
Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat
Meet the Parents
My Man Godfrey (Madacy)
North by Northwest
Princess Bride (original)
Rocky III
The Order (Van Damme)
Top Gun
The Tuxedo
X-Men (original)
Hmm, maybe I can get one of the stores to take my Lost in Space, Stargate and Six Days, Seven Nights promos . Even so, those 24 would trim a lot of fat off of my collection and the $192 wouldn't be so bad either .

Hmm...
I don't have any DVDs that I want to sell; I was thinking of getting DVDs cheap and then getting 8.00 for them from blockbuster. Any ideas? Will the Wal-Mart 1.00 DVDs work?
Anyone else planning on doing this?

Yeah, walmart sells $1.00 dvd's. Real crappy movies or tv movies on disc. For example: Boy in the Plastic Bubble with Travolta. But they come in the slim black cases.

Some stores don't get early info about future promotions. Hek, some stores don't even know how to do current promotions.
