As if the seller who puts the Ed Wood DVD up on eBay, as opposed to (as many have done on various forums, and the way I got my copy) selling it for cost, doesn't know that the auction will invariably grow in price. If he starts the auction at 26.99 or whatever the retail is, he can safelt rest assured he'll at least double his money. That to me is low, but that's just me. My thanks goes to many people on this forum and elsewhere who were fortunate enough to come upon several copies of the disc and sell it for cost to their follow film fans.

Wow...you must hate Grocery stores and every other place because they make profit too, eh?

Ed Wood is a movie I can definitely wait for. It will get released again with no hassle. The announcement of the Star Wars Trilogy has made me almost completely forget that Ed Wood exists.

wow, you got really super pissed and totally flipped out on that guy. i know how you feel man. he wasn't a pirate was he?

You know what? Not only do i sell things on Ebay that you can't buy in stores sometimes to make profit but the so called "victims" that pay these "OUTRAGEOUS" prices actually thank me afterwards alot of the time. I paid $60 for The History of Beavis and Butthead on Ebay and did i complain? Not at all because otherwise i wouldn't even have it. Paying a premium on something that is somewhat hard to come by is not a big deal

Did you still have to pay for it? :eyebrow:

Heck no. Also since the guy wasnt breathing I grabbed his wallet. Take that Blockbu$ter.

Re: I got mine at Wal-mart today...
 

The one in Taylorsville on Redwood also had about eight copies on the shelf, but the price was $19.74. I guess they didn't get the recall notice.

In this thread people are complaining about those that end up paying high prices for Ed Wood.

On the other hand, in a City of God thread, a movie which IS being rereleased in a few months unlike Ed Wood, people are defending those that pay large wads of cash.

So I guess going only by what I have read, it's awful to pay a lot of money for a movie that won't be seen again anytime soon, but it's ok to pay a bunch of money now instead of waiting a few months.

Don't take it personally. This forum has a loud minority of cretins here who treat this site as a schoolyard and seek out confrontation and waste their time snickering at other people's posts. It happens all the time, and unfortunately unavoidable. On the other hand, there's a large majority of others that are courteous and use the forum as it should be used, as a sharing of information. People have different levels of expertise and points-of-view; or as Will Rogers said, "We're all ignorant, just about different things." My advice: contribute freely and read information that's pertinent to what's helpful and move on. Don't dwell on any responses that criticize the person who's posting.

Look at every response above the one where fef4 packed up his toys and left. Find me a single one that meets the criteria of "criticize the person who's posting."

Disagree with him about his eBay views? Sure. Mentioning alternate opinions? Sure. But I don't see anyone going after him at all. Personally or otherwise.

On the flip side, I sell on eBay. So the way I see it, fef4 called me a f@#%er (and for no reason whatsoever). I say good riddance to anyone who can sling that sort of insult my way, but then become painfully offended when someone simply mentions "supply and demand" in response to a topic he brought up himself. Thin skins like that aren't helpful in life, and are pretty much fatal on any Internet discussion board.

Why was it recalled? I missed that.

I sold two copies for $40+ each... scalper? So what. As long as people pay for them. Helps me buy more DVD's coming in the next few weeks.

Exactly..I've sold them on Ebay, and sold some to board members. I don't see a problem. Without Ebay...or the internet for that matter, how many copies would be circulating? Definitely alot less.

Those who bought copies to sell at cost (on the board or whatever) are a problem too. They buy them all. Other customers get nothing.

It's called supply and demand, there is nothing criminal or immoral about it. It's a simple concept: if lots of people want something, and there aren't many to go around, then the ones who want it the most (the ones who pony up the most cash) are the ones who get it. My guess is a few people maybe slept through economics or have never heard of an "auction."

We all did, because the reason was never announced. :)

Well, has anyone lucky enough to have found a copy noticed any defects that would constitute a recall?

Mine is A-OK. Seen the movie twice and watched each extra at least once.
