I would say that it is around 3-4K, I haven't kept track but it could be higher. I also don't look at DVD's as an investment, that is foolish in my mind. The money that I spend on dvd's comes out of my entertainment budget.

I actually think it might be in between the first 2 missing money amounts (between 4-5K) based on trying to do some quick calculating/estimating, especially since I have a few coming in that I didn't add in to the money amount, but I went to the lower ($1000-$4000) just because of a few gifts, a few used DVDs, and a few $5-bin DVDs.

Re: How much do you have invested into your blu-ray/dvd collection?
Well...
We've got over 4,000 titles, and if I were to just round 'em down to $10 each...that's...no way...it can't be...
$40,000.
So I'd say easily WAY over $40,000.
(I don't even wanna THINK about the exact number.)

probably around 20000ish. It's ridiculous if you think about it. But since i've been collecting for over 12 years its not as mind boggling as it sounds. I probably spent more in the first few years per year as i have in the last 4 total.

you may need some more cash categories in your poll - based on my DVD Profiler reports - over $30,000 - but have been collecting for over 12 years

Going off my movie collectorz software that grabs prices for what it can find on amazon when I add the title, which means it'll miss more than a few, my grand total is: $120,873.17
A figure I will never, ever, show my wife if i ever hope to buy another movie.

Unfortunately before getting on this board I used to buy everything from Best Buy... so yeah, over 10k.

I started collecting movies in the 90s, so it's not like I just started a few years ago.

Re: How much do you have invested into your blu-ray/dvd collection?
Since I buy pretty much everything on the release date and closing in on 7,000 items @$15 per, that equates to over $100,000. Don't ask what I've spent in my lifetime on music and comic books, I'm a sick puppy

Well, I'm up to 140 or so Blus, I have around 1000 or so DVDs. Some of those have been sold, traded and replaced. I"d be shocked if I haven't paid around $20 - $25 k in the scheme of things. That's a scary thought.

Holy crap, if I ever wanted a bigger collection this thread has certainly cured me. I hate to even think about the opportunity costs of these figures vs. prepayment on a mortgage.

One of these days I'll need to print a report from DVD Profiler for insurance purposes but until then I don't want to think about what the price tag actually is. Suffice to say that I didn't pay nearly the list price DVD Profiler reports and there's no way I'd pay that much unless I had to...
