Re: How many DVDs do you own?
I never really "blind buy". If I read a favorable review on this site, I may add a movie to my wishlist. I'll buy it once I find a good price. A lot of us starting buying DVDs when they first came out. Hell, I remember when there were only about 100 different DVDs total!

Re: How many DVDs do you own?
I am in the process though of weeding through some stuff and selling it, especially blind buys that have gone OOP. Sometimes it pays to blind buy
. But just selling used DVDs is pretty much a waste of time since most don't fetch more than a couple of dollars. Even new DVDs aren't worth that much --- and much of the Big Lots stuff you bought for 3.00, you would be lucky to get that much back after fees. Many of the used DVDs though I do take out of their case and put them in individual sleeves so I can easily file them alphabetically. I store the inserts in a file cabinet. But I still have plastic tubs of DVDs from Big Lots that I just don't have room for on the shelves.My profiler says around 7000 discs (I am behind in updating them and my "ordered" has everything I've ever bought for history purposes). So realistically it's probably between 7000-8000 discs with around 4000-5000 titles/TV seasons

Between 500 and 600. I don't think that I bought more than 15 disks last year.

I quit counting at over 500 several years ago. I also used to keep a list of all of them but now I have no idea as I have not bought a regular DVD in over 3 years except as a gift since converting to blu (however my number of them is less than 20). When they were worth something it mattered not now.

Far more than my wife thinks I should own but far fewer than I'd like...

More than most normal people, less than a lot of people here.

Re: How many DVDs do you own?
One of the funnier things is when I someone came over, saw a row of movies on the floor, and remarked "wow! you have a lot of movies!" he was floored when I told him "uh, that is my unwatched pile.. The movies that I own and have watched are over THERE!"
: )
p.s. because I keep 99% of my movies in 8 DVD organizer binders, they only take up a small 2'x2' cubby hole space.. My unwatched pile actually takes up more space!!

Currently 469/804 according to DVD Profiler (don't like to count each disc of each season but DVDP does it, so there you are...). -kd5-
