My Neighbor Totoro, original full-frame Fox Family edition... I keep finding these and selling them for $30+ each. Pan and scanned and pretty bare-bones, but people like that original English dub.

List all your 'worthless' 1-disc DVDs for $1.99 each and $2.99 shipping on eBay. People will buy some of them. Buy the larger 2-pack of padded mailers from the dollar store. You can cut them in half and they still fit a DVD. $0.25 for the mailer. 4 ounce mailing first class is $1.86. The rest will cover PayPal and eBay fees. You may get $2.30-2.40 a disc.

Also, it's the holidays. Anything with a holiday theme is ripe. I'd list them for $5.99-7.99 with $2.99 shipping.

So Totoro was redubbed?

Yes. TOTORO was originally put out in an English dub by a small distributor in limited release sometime in 1993. I took my daughter to see it in a theater when she was 9 or 10. It came out on VHS not much later and that's the version I have on my office shelf just a couple yards away as I type this. I used to regularly lend it out to co-workers with children, but there doesn't seem to be much demand for VHS these days. I've always liked this version.

When Disney and Studio Ghibli arranged a Ghibli retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1999 to coincide with the release of PRINCESS MONONOKE and Miyazaki's appearance at the New York Film Festival, they ran a subtitled print of TOTORO, saying that Miyazaki wasn't pleased with the existing dub. (Miyazaki made a surprise appearance to introduce the Saturday TOTORO screening and the crowd went nuts.) Later, when Disney put TOTORO out on DVD, it came with a new dub with Dakota Fanning and her sister Elle voicing the two sisters, Satsuki and Mei.

Folks!, a crappy comedy with Tom Selleck is selling in the $100 range as well.

Doesn't make sense, out-of-print or not, it's still a forgettable movie not worth anyone's time.

I just remembered that I found My Favorite Year at a yard sale a year ago for a buck. I flipped it on eBay for about $20 or so.

"The Big River" has a Copy of Animalympics for a little less than $15 Bux. Better "Git it while the Gittin's Good.


PS I found me a copy at a Yard Sale for $.50! a couple of years ago!

Thanks for all the help guys! Accomplished my goal + some!

Almost anything Criterion. Also Criterion doesn't do blu-ray do they?

Wow, I have "My Favorite Year" and see its over $100 right now...I should flip it.
