Depends on what kinda resin you're talking about. ;)

I see one currently at $70+ currently on eBay. Wow!

DJ_Longfellow 01-26-05 08:47 AM

Yeah, I saw one go for $70 on EBAY. I may have to check my BlockBuster after work today

Shagrath 01-26-05 08:49 AM

If you look up completed auctions on eBay, you'll see that one went on the 23rd for $143.50! Gotta love the eBay people that have no clue what something is worth.

darmok 01-26-05 11:27 AM

isn't 25,000 a rather large run, especially for a chain like blockbuster?

Gizmo 01-26-05 11:34 AM

my Blockbuster had atleast 6 of these. Interesting to see the ebay prices. May be worth it to pick up a couple of them.

I'd probably get twice as much for a Virgin Mary AVP set!! It won't degrade as quickly! Thanks for giving me a great idea. :)

Which busts .. up in the top right or the movie busts?

Hey Guys,

This may sound like a strange question, but does the DVD come inside the sealed box with the busts? I got this yesterday and kept the box sealed deciding if I want to keeep them or not...the lady at BlockBuster told me the movie isn't inside the box and gave me the DVD separately. Thanks in advance!

Wow, sounds like you got a double bonus...but who knows. I saw this today at my BlockBuster, but I decided to pass on it. The only reason I would buy it is for EBAY, but I've seen some go for $100, and other have no bids whatsoever. I actually WANT the DVD, but I really have no interest in the busts.

OldBoy 01-26-05 05:02 PM

What an incredible set..for all 2 minutes I had it!!!
 
Bought the last one at my local BBV yesterday, sold it on eBay today for...wait for it...$110!!! What a way to turn and easy, so easy $80 profit. Not bad for doing practically nothing!!!

DJ_Longfellow 01-26-05 05:12 PM

Ok, looks like I will go back and pick up one or two

OldBoy 01-26-05 05:27 PM

good luck! each BBV everywhere only carries like 5 and i am sure they were sold out 1st day.

ScottsDvds 01-26-05 05:32 PM

The box set appears to be settling in $80.00 to $50.00 range, I've found one that closed above $100. It might be worth it picking up an extra, but I would wait down the road to sell it.

Randy810 01-26-05 08:51 PM

I would be interested in the diffrent beginng mentioned in Ellen Ripley's description.
Does anyone know if the diffrent beginning is available on the movie only discs?

Count the number of bbv's out there and the amount of people who actually buy dvds at blockbuster and you really do have a GOOD chance at buying it if you look.

whotony 01-26-05 09:06 PM

several ending in the next hr or so are barely hitting $40.
and only 3 completed at over $100.

ScottsDvds 01-26-05 09:16 PM

I would wait to sell, because everybody and their mother is going to sell now.

darmok 01-26-05 09:19 PM

i've visited three blockbusters around me and there's still plenty everywhere. i don't think they'll go for much after the initial spike in interest.

and i am one!! but, there's a few over 3 and a couple prior to Tues. went for $140.
i got lucky putting out on Tues nite. and saw the market saturated, i was actually shocked that someone used 'Buy It Now' for over $100. now they are only getting 40-50.

Elijah's corollary to PT Barnum - There's a sucker born every minute, and they are all on Ebay.
