Why are Colin Farell dvds cheap on ebay?

I was on ebay checking out movies such as Tigerland, Hart's War, The Recruit, and Phone Booth and they routinely end for 7 to 8 dollars. I can understand one or two auctions but consistently ending at that price is a little strange. On half.com Tigerland and Harts War could be had for 6 dollars or so. Hmmm.... maybe a Colin Farell conspiracy.

I got Tigerland at Walmart for 5.88. Nice to know I could get 1.00 to 2.00 more than I paid, never mind I see I could get what I paid for it on half.com. Is there some reason why Colin Farell Dvd's should be higher?

Maybe he should start asking for roles that will require a double disc set when released on DVD?

I'm sure the market is flooded with ex rental copies of Hart's War, The Recruit, and Phone Booth. That usually drives the price way down.

Or maybe it's because most of his movies are painfully average.

Insert jokes will never get old. The Rocky and Bullwinkle one was classic though.

What's the MSRP on those DVDs? I bet they are very low. If his movies are retailed priced cheaper, than they will be sold cheaper on ebay. No conspiracy.

Might have something to do with the fact that none of those movies are particularly popular.

I'm sure Minority Report is doing better.

I've now seen Colin Farell on Letterman and Leno and he seems wierd to me. His accent is so heavy half the time I can't understand what he's saying. I don't think I will be buying anything of his at any price.

At this point, you can make a boxed set of all the movies Colin Farrell HASN'T been in. It's so weird, I never heard of the guy and then BAM, his mug is in every freakin' movie.

Maybe because he should take a break. It seems like every month he's in a new film, or 1-2 old ones come out on dvd.

He doesn't have the accent in his films.

I like Colin Farrell and all of his films. I own all of them...

Why are they cheap? Because the people that want them probably have them...

I loved Phone Booth, but that may be because i'm a huge Larry Cohen and Kiefer Sutherland fan, and at times being that big of fan of someones blinds you to a mediocre release(i.e. SW fans and Phantom Menace). I was waiting for a long time for that to finally get made and released since it got pushed back after the Sniper incidents in DC. I thought he did a good Bullseye though with all the Daredevil comics i've read, i've never seen any with that character in them.
