Re: DVD Finds at Charity Shops etc.
Picked up Criterion's This is Spinal Tap! for $3 yesterday at Goodwill. I doubt I'll come across a greater find than that!

Re: DVD Finds at Charity Shops etc.
I've been hitting up the thrift stores a few times each week in the last month. The best find I got so far is Carnivale Season 2, but it was $9. Not sure if that was a good deal or not but it was something I've been looking for. I did get Beauty and the Beast and Tangled on bluray for $.49 each today though.
The prices around here are: Salvation Army = $.49, Goodwill - $1.49, and AmVets - $1.99. Its a bit frustrating finding something you want and its scratched up or missing. So I always spend a lot of time going through each case to make sure they're in good quality. Its worth it though.

Yea, recent trip scored copy cartoon mulan 2cd set and peter pan 2 cd set and the godfather gift pack or collection with 4 dvds of movies and extras can enjoy. cause last trip skip some and went and they was gone so i make a stack and try decide what i want most any. all got was not sealed but checkd and cds was watchable. but yep, sometimes u leave any maybes and next go back may be sold anytime. i try score sealed stuff but other times some used or not sealed are still worth a grab if not ruined any at time. so i think anytime i can find sealed or not ruined dvds any still a non wasted trip. i just gotta go early or gotta wait inline cause virus crap. by chance been early 2 times and learned line forms sometime after it opens.

Re: DVD Finds at Charity Shops etc.
Been awhile since I've been to Savers & since it's 30% off for seniors today I decided to check the store out.
No BD's this time, but here is my DVD haul:
The Molly Maguires
Disney's The Muppet Christmas Carol - still had the rewards code inside.
Summer Magic - Another Disney title & this one was still sealed.
Il Divo - wrapping was off, but the sticker on top wasn't; pulled out the DVD & it was in mint condition
The Avengers '62 box set - contains 14 episodes of the series 2nd season that were made in 1962 w/ Honor Blackman & Patrick Macnee.

Re: DVD Finds at Charity Shops etc.
I think it got overlooked in the Last DVD Bought thread, but I recently found the Star Wars Trilogy set that includes the original theatrical versions for only $3 at a Savers store. I almost had a heart attack when I slid the case out and saw what it was.

Cool to score the original movie set before it got changed by lucas at time. have not been to place i go to cauuse know limits now and place get a lot traffic so idk can wait try go early anytime but sunday cause closed for everyone. cause place has it in area by shoes and that area always busy it seems so u try find with limited space sometimes so it ruins fun of try score good stuff sometimes. but have scored some good i think may have sold to resellers or others by chance. have to wait to check dollar tree and then branch off since can score some good at thrift if go right time i guess.
