ditto

I paid $25.31 for American Psycho Unrated (New condition) on Ebay becuase I didn't want to settle for the rated version.

Also, I paid nearly $30 for the 2 Disc Fight Club after it went OOP.

I am so glad I didn't buy ED WOOD when it first came out and I missed it after the recall. That was one bullet I dodged but I sc**wed myself with EERIE INDIANA (paid $25 but now its about $15). I paid too much for DEAD RINGERS Criterion ($30 used). I have to constantly remind myself that I can live without and wait for another release.

Same here. I always buy on Columbia House or wait for sales. Too bad CH doesn't have as big of a selection as they used to.

paid 35 for Clerks before the MSRP dipped.

I bought Salo. Does that count?

I don't think I've overpayed for much. I would if I had actually paid money for any of my few criterions I have, but I almost always have traded something in exchange for them. I can't see any reason for paying $30 for one movie.

The worst part is checking out something like Wal-Mart's 4.88-5.50 bins and seeing something that you know you paid full price for when it came out.

Not really. I often probably over pay by $2-3 on new releases as I just generally get everything at Best Buy as it's on my way to work while Wal-mart, CC, Target etc. are not.

Of course most everything hits the bargain bin sooner or later, but I don't consider that overpaying when I paid $15-20 at launch as I got to enjoy it for a few months longer.

Most I have paid for a single title was the OOP Devil's Advocate 3 years ago. $40. Not outrageous at the time since new dvd's went for actual SRP in store. Of course if you bought online that number is way off. Also spent $40 on a Champaigne "Jersey Trilogy" box. That hurt. $40 for an empty box.

On the flip side I've unloaded a number of OOP titles for ridiculous amounts of money, usually when I find a new version is on the way.

Quantum Leap: Pilot DVD 1997 OOP: sold for around $40 after they announced the first season.
2 different Wonder Years 1997 OOP: Sold for about $35 each.

Bought all three of the above for about $5.99 retail.

And the best were my James Bond discs while they were OOP two years ago. Right around Christmas time. Probably averaged $50 per movie for about 10 of them.

People want their movies no matter what the cost.

I paid $6.00 for Gigli. Paid way too much for that one.

Other than that, I've learned my lesson, much like many of you have. If I don't pick up a disc in it's first week, I'll wait six months (or more) for the price to drop.

The Kubrick and Oliver Stone Boxsets 130 and 150 respectively. Although good deals at the time they are worth at best half that now. I don't even want half the movies in each set. I was such a sheep. I followed the DVDTalk heard and bought the set instead of the individual titles I wanted.

Oh, well, there are worse things to be stuck with.

Original Anchor Bay Uncut Day of the Dead (1985)
For $35.00 at Suncoast...
It was when I just started getting into Zombie films and went out and bought as Many as I could find, little did I know that this was OOP for sometime!!!

Another DVD that was quite expensive was the Band of Brothers Box Set for like $80.. I think, Great Series, but not ALOT of replay value

If I had a dollar for every time I've done this, I could buy more DVDs than I currently have (maybe even Criterion Colection DVDs)...what really sucks is realizing you could've saved money by being patient, but you wanted your Instant Gratification right now, so you bought before the inevitable price drop.

Check out the international forum and you will see a lot of people that paid a hell of a lot for DVDs, myself included. I don't think that too many have any regrets though. All you have to do is check out threads on Alien Quadrilogy Head, the Alien vs Predator Monster Box, the I Robot Sonny Head, just to name a few (and probably the most expensive ones)...
