Yes. Please keep it goin'!

Hmm - I saw something odd tonight - I bought a copy of "From Dusk Till Dawn" Collector's Series tonight at Eb Games for $5.99, I see that DVDs123 pays more for the old 1-disc set than the 2-disc CE ($9.40 vs $6.50).

I find that odd.

Also picked up a copy of "Matinee" for $8 at Gamestop - disc is perfect, but the snapper case has some minor wear and some pen grooves where someone used it as a writing surface.

Garolo - un update on DVDs123 - I sent the package last Monday, got the check today. I spent a little more on shipping - $4.45 1st class insured vs $2.50 or so for insured media mail, to be sure it got there on time - they refuse it past 7 days.

was lucky enough to find a used copy of Karate Kid 2 on DVD, for 6.99 at Babbages. I never knew this went for as much as it did, but I'm glad I finally have this movie on DVD. haha trouble is finding the other 3 for that price :)

Nice find - that is about as good as my Karate Kid buy, I paid $3 more and the price at DVDs123.com is $4 higher ($27.80 vs $31.60). .

Yankee - check on Mel Brooks's "The Twelve Chairs" ... it *starts* at a hundred bucks at Amazon.

also, there's a thread regarding 'Clownhouse' which says it was just put back in print ... and then quickly recalled/pulled. Apparently, they didn't have the proper rights to release it. I don't know if it'll get more expensive, though ... it might have the same morbid curiosity as 'Salo', but it's not a Criterion.

The first anchor bay release of Dawn Of The Dead US Theatrical Cut.

saw that the other day used for 22.95

There are a couple copies of Dawn of the Dead (US Theatrical) on Amazon marketplace for $11-12, by those notorious underpricers CD Warehouse.

Anyone feeling lucky? Could be a mistaken listing, or could just be one who doesn't know the value.

For the record, here are my purchases from CD warehouse:

Patriot Superbit Deluxe $8.99 (online) - no slipcase but mint otherwise
Karate Kid $9.99 (Local)
Armageddon CC $12.99 (Local) - no slipcase

And sighted online:
Big Trouble in Little China SE $11.99

And at Gamestop:
Matinee $7.99 (disc mint, some wear on snapper case)

Bump

Geez - I just saw 2 sealed copies of Dawn of the Dead at half.com for $350 - one if them by dvds123.com - what's up with that?

There is a sealed copy at Amazon w/autograph for $85.

This is a great thread and thanks to those who are keeping it up to date. I've done what I can to help spread the word by adding a link to this thread in the FAQ section of the stickied Used DVD Treasure Hunt Lounge Thread in the DVD Exchange Sub-Forum:

Wow - I actually feel like a contributing member of this forum, instead of a bickering one (a la the HD-DVD thread). -wink-

when and who announced this? are there any specs?

Here's a few more titles to add to your list:

Condorman
Ghost Story
Scarlett
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre SE (meat cover)
Thursday
Where the Buffalo Roam

Thanks - I'll check those out later, have to leave now - also added Dances with Wolves DTS earlier.

Being rereleased next week (with crappy new cover art -ohbfrank- )

Add "Tool - Salival." It's a music DVD/CD box set, going from $40 to $70 on eBay. Even more on Amazon Marketplace.

You add to your list "My Left Foot" with Daniel Day-Lewis. It is OOP and extremely rare, but is a known movie that won Oscars

anyone know anything about this?

Somebody as anxious as you seem to be should learn about the "search" command at the bottom of the forum. It can answer your question with stuff likethis , or this is a great one

I don't think specs have been announced, people aren't even sure if it's the PG-13 or the R-rated.

Re: Needed : Sticky thread listing "ordinary" DVDs which are OOP and valuable
 

Here's a few from E-bay which people are bidding high:
'The Daytrippers'
'Condorman' (1981) [5 people know it and like it enough to bid it up to $76]
'Scarlett' (the made for TV sequel to 'Gone With The Wind'
plus a few 'Godzilla' movies: 'King Kong Vs. Godzilla', 'Godzilla vs. Monster Zero', and 'Godzilla's Revenge' (at least)

How's about some kinda thing where you put the ones that are back in print ('Army of Darkness', 'Clownhouse', 'Dawn of the Dead', 'Take the Money and Run') or coming back in print (like 'Forgotten Silver') in italics? Just a thought, and I assume there are others.

I will take your suggestions into consideration - including the last several DVDs which I haven't had time to research yet, been very busy the last couple days, probably won't have time to update until Monday.

I have been trying to make some kind of notation when something is coming back into print. In the case of AoD, the LE has still held its value even after the boomstick edition came out, so I probably would leave that alone.

Geez - I just noticed that "The Return of the Pink Panther" which I got out of the Wal-mart dump bin for $5.50 earlier this year is now going for upwards of $30 sealed at Amazon (though there is 1 copy for $18). Prices on ebay are all over the map, completed sales as low as $6-7 and as high as $18-20. It just went OOP on 6/27 according to Hometheaterinfo, so maybe a lot of the sellers aren't even aware and aren't protecting their prices with reserves or decent starting bids.

A few more:

The Car
The Hi-lo Country
Jude
Odd Man Out
The Portrait of a Lady

and This Sporting Life

Sorry I still haven't had a chance to update the list, I have been busy - but I did find some killer deals today while scouring pawn shops and other used places for the first time in a couple weeks:

Romper Stomper 2-disc - $11.99 (EB Games - the rest were from Gamestop)
Reservoir Dogs Mr Pink Cover - $9.99
Snow White Platinum (no cover) - $16.99
Toy Story $11.70 (Version from the Ultimate Toy Box)

And last week I received my $9.38+shipping (under $12 total) copy of "Big Trouble in Little China SE" I bought from half.com came and it is perfect (except for minor rippling of the clear cover - and judging by pictures on ebay, that is common).

Found 2 copies of Blues Brothers for $9.99 each and Rocky Horror 2-disc for $15! Thanks for the list :) The stores to search are Game Stop and Coconuts. I've had by far the most success with Game Stop in the past.

Also, Snow White for 16.99 with no cover isn't really a great deal - my copy with cover went for only 11 and change on ebay since there are tons of them available right now. It's their most common OOP title.

I just did a search on completed items on eBay, I see very few have sold for less than $25 used or $30 new, there are a couple for less than $20 but most of the cheap ones are 1-disc Asian imports (and a couple of them went for almost $20). Additonally, many of the pictures don't have a coverslip, which I would expect them to show, so I wouldn't be sure they have them. I don't know if Snow White was similar to Pirates of the Caribbean in that some retailers sell it without the coverslip.

And a lot of the cheap ones inflate the shipping - I saw one the last time I searched with "Buy it now" for $15 with $10 shipping.

Sounds to me like you sold yours way too cheap.

I took "no cover" to mean literally no cover :-P Snow White has no cover slip. I guess I undersold... c'est la vie.

It doesn't ? Woo-hoo, I had never seen one before, I just assumed it did like Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.

Thanks!

Re: Re: Needed : Sticky thread listing "ordinary" DVDs which are OOP and valuable
 

As for Godzilla's Revenge, it would be the Simitar DVD that would somewhat collectible. I say somewhat because Classic Media sells that title now (but only in full screen).

Monster Zero (also from the now out of business Simitar) is the most valuable, but that value may vanish before long. Classic Media is reportedly looking to release that title itself sometime in the near future, though no official announcement has been made yet.

Hey all,

As mentioned earlier, I took the liberty of adding a link to this thread in the FAQ section of the Used DVD treasure Hunt Lounge thread here in our Exchange Forum. I heartily recommend that any fans of this thread check out the Used DVD Treasure Hunt and the Lounge. That is the best place on this website to find OOP titles such as those listed here for incredible prices. OOP Criterion Silence of the Lambs for $17.95 shipped is but one example of a recent deal to be found there.

Again I am sorry that I haven't had a chance to update the list yet, but I did add "The Best of the Blues Brothers" (the older release from United American Video). Just so that y'all who postd suggestions don't think I am ignoring you.

Just an FYI on the Cowboy Bebop box set. Bandai Ent. released the series in region 1 as a 6 dvd set, *not* as a 3 disc set. There are many many pirated 3 disc sets that are circulating around, but they are bootlegs. The only legit US release has 6 dvds for the series. They were also released in the "Perfect Sessions" box that is being mentioned.

Corrected.

Found another one on the list today - Chariots of Fire, sealed! - $6 at a pawn shop!!! (Also snagged a pristine Monsters Inc. 2-disc set for $7 at the same place - not a rare collectible, but a nice buy).

I think this is my best find yet. Recent completed sales at eBay range from $40-50, Amazon marketplace sealed copies go $75 and up. DVDs123 database is down for maintenance so I can't check there (Edit : $31.60).

Sorry I still haven't updated the list, I have been busy. OK - I have been lazy, all right? But I will get to it - keep the suggestions coming, and feel free to post any nuggets you find.

Apocolyse Now Original disc for 7 bucks at E.B.

Cd warehouse has been good to me also...

a year ago i got the Creature from the black lagoon for 6 bucks and godzilla vs king kong for less than 5

Karate Kid, 9.99 at Game Stop. I love this list!

If you want the easy way to sell it, dvds123.com is now paying over $37 for it - up $6 since I sold them mine. That is actually higher than most of the recent;y completed sales on eBay - there are a couple between $40-50, but there are more in the $25-35 range. (Two clueless individuals w/excellent feedback sold genuine R1 copies for $8 and $12.99 - buy it now.)

OTOH, they actually dropped the prices they are paying for the sequels - Karate Kid II from $27 to $15.

I saw that $8 auction - closed 21 minutes after it opened with Buy it Now. Doh! :-P

I think the Star Wars: Episode I isn't OOP or anything anymore. Saw tons of them at Best Buy.
