The 2-disc special edition is rare, but not the 1-disc. And to think - I could have picked that up at Blockbuster used for $10 a year or so ago.

According to the list at hometheaterinfo linked on the first page, both Ep 1 + 2 went OOP in Nov 2003, but for some reason Ep 1 is worth some money while ep 2 is going for peanuts ($5-6 used at amazon) - also, ep 2 is still available from Amazon new for $27.
The prices showing at Amazon now for ep 1 are now lower than when I first checked, so I am adjusting (Down to $17 / $27 from $30 / $33 when I checked it the first time - more in line with Ebay prices I saw at that time).

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

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.

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)

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:
4. How can I find out if a title is Out-of-Print?
Look up the title here: http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/disconti.htm or check out this thread at the main DVD Talk forum.

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