Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I was looking through my collection and a question popped into my mind. What is the most valuable dvd or dvd set that you own? Me? Probably my out of print Salem's Lot dvd, Little Giants, or my dvd set of all ten Star Trek movies.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Probably my wedding DVD.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Hah! Put it up on eBay and see if you get any offers. That'll show you how valuable it is. -ptth-

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Lose it and try to explain that to his wife. We'll see how much he values sex :)

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

President Clinton's Grand Jury Testimony
In-store demo discs from when the format was brand-new
The Golden Age of Rock & Roll box set, was pulled almost immediately due to rights issues
Little Shop of Horrors original edition- guess with the Blu-Ray out, that isn't worth much now

Then of course there's my burned discs of 70s off-air TV recordings.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I have the original WWF: Wrestlemania X-Seven DVD release without any of the blurring of the logo like on the later anthology set releases. I think I paid like $40 or so for it years back and it was pretty rare at the time. I just looked on eBay and people are still asking anywhere between $80-$100 for it. That's probably my most rare one. I have some other old WWF releases too but I don't know that they're worth as much as that particular Wrestlemania is.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

My "Underground" Copy of Lassie, all 19 seasons. :D

Favorite Legit DVD? My first exposure to the realm called Science-Fiction way back in 1965. The Gerry Anderson "Supermarionation" Thunderbirds. :up:

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Remastered system backup DVD just in case...

You can always tell when someone is posting at DVDTalk and their spouse is sitting next to them or looking over their shoulder.

Quentin Tarantino collection

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I recently sold my sealed copy of Salem's Lot for about $40. I'd picked it up as a spare from Big Lots years back for $3, so I was happy with that deal. I also sold it at the right time because it appears WB is re-releasing it soon, possibly with the sequel all in one package.
I was hoping the next release would be a Bd but...

Easily the most valuable title I own currently is the Disney Treasure release of Dr Syn.
The most I ever got for a title was $150 for a sealed copy of The Turning Point a year or two back (and that was bargain priced compared to what other sellers were asking for it).

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

No idea which ones I own are the most valuable but I do own alot of the ones mentioned so far.

Salem's Lot
Little Giants
Star Trek movies set
Little shop of Horrors (but the 2000 edition)
Dr Syn
Early demo discs

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Here Come The Brides Season One... until mill creek releases it...

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Pink Lady and Jeff! (Plus a burned disc of the original broadcast of the first show with commercials.)

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Wow, never knew my Little Giants DVD was worth $20+

I remember getting a very surprising amount for Project: ALF and a 2004 World Series of Poker DVD when I sold them back to Amazon last year. I'm thinking $40-50 each.

I also own that History Of Beavis & Butthead set that fans were going crazy over about a decade ago. Still worth about $40 now.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Two I can think of:

Last of the Dogmen (worth upwards for $400 right now on Amazon!)
Women of Valor (worth about $156 on Amazon right now)

Not thinking of selling tho! LOL

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I have a complete set of Disney Treasures.

Also, wouldn't a honeymoon DVD be worth more than a wedding DVD?

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Me too

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Currently look like it's Blind Woman's Curse

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Ditto.

I also have the 2-Disc Anchor Bay limited editions of Halloween, Army of Darkness, Manhunter, Supergirl and House (with House 2). Some of those use to go for a chunk of change.

Got a bunch of Doctor Who titles that are now OOP.

Probably more that I can't remember.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

We have the complete Anchor Bay Hammer Horror Collection. It looks like some of those are going for $20 and up.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

That is encouraging news! Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot (although in principle a two part TV-series) is along with Alien, my two absolute favorite movies. I hope it will be released on blu-ray soon (including the TV previews in between, as on the VHS and DVD)!

While the picture on the DVD version of Salem's Lot is rather good, the sound is not so good. I have a couple of older VHS editions (PAL and NTSC), and the sound on those has subtleties that are missing on the DVD!

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Many of those are pricey enough alone...! Looks like a Complete Treasures tin has doubled(+) in price from the near $500 original price, too..

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Remember when a real copy of Criterion's Salo was going for $1000? Is there a single release anything like that nowadays?

I have some numbered & signed stuff like "I Drink Your Blood" but not sure if it's worth much anymore.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I always find it interesting what people will pay for certain DVDs of movies that, while are out-of-print, are rather forgettable.

I mentioned it before, but the Shag The Movie DVDs sells routinely on eBay for $40-$60. Not just one or two, but many copies have been selling at this price.

The Getaway (1994) has been selling for $25+ for a sealed copy.

Certain MGM titles like Southern Comfort, Joe and Burnt Offerings have been selling for high prices as well.

I see Warner Archives has caught onto this and have been re-releasing old Warner and Paramount titles.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Sold a couple sealed copies of the Criterion versions of Hard Boiled and The Killer, also the original release of Fargo on DVD back in the day. Nowadays, I hold no illusions that anything in my collection is worth much. Though I do have several of the Anchor Bay limited edition multi disc sets like Supergirl, Army of Darkness, and Manhunter.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

The Greatest American Hero (Complete Series in Deluxe Collector's Tin with instruction booklet and cape)
Haunted Honeymoon (two copies unopened)
House 1 and 2 (Anchor Bay Special Limited Edition)

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Oh, I have "The Greatest American Hero (Complete Series in Deluxe Collector's Tin with instruction booklet and cape)" too - what's it worth nowadays? I paid $79.44 including shipping back in 2006. I see that some Amazon Marketplace sellers have it offered at $980 for a new one and as low as $55 for a used copy. Used but "Like New" is $100. Would you consider selling it for that? I would for $980, but not for $100.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I wouldn't sell mine since I'm a huge fan of the series. Bought my set on ebay for about $60.00 before it went OOP. I've seen new unopened sets listed for as high as $500.00 recently, however I don't know if they've actually sold for that amount. I opened mine upon arrival just to check that the batteries (included within the instruction book) didn't leak out. Apparently, this was a common problem with certain sets that remained unopened for a period of time.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Probably a 3-way tie amongst Grand Tour: Disaster in Time, The Odyssey, and Nemesis (1993, Olivier Gruner) all 3 of which are routinely selling for $50 and up.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

What's a way to determine this? Just go to Ebay and see how much everything is going for?

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Ebay and Amazon, that's where I usually compare prices when I'm looking for something.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

prob the 2nd edition of the Third Man Criterion. goes for 40-50 bbucks

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

At a glance, probably The Valerio Zurlini Box Set.

And The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover.

Nothing too pricey.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Another oop dvd returns to print. Aloha Bobby & Rose, I've been wanting to see it since I was a kid, shout is re releasing it July 29th, so the anchor bay version will drop in price.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Checking Amazon's Deal of the Week, I noticed that while the current deal Scooby-Doo: Where Are You? set is $28, the original release seems to be listed at $400... one wonders if anyone is buying the original!

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

not anymore!!!

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

Love that movie. My copy is still sealed, but I might let it go for $900 on Amazon if someone really wants it ...

I also have
Breaking Bad Barrel
Dark Shadows Limited Ed. (I'd sell this if I would just buy the Deluxe, but I'm afraid I'll sell this and never get around to buying the Deluxe).
Salem's Lot
Dr. Syn
Supergirl Anchor Bay - 80
Quatermass and the Pit Hammer - 134
Greatest American Hero tin (2 copies, 1 sealed) - one of my favorite series of all time (But I don't know where you all are getting 900 for this. It's usually between 200-300 and I've seen sealed copies go as low as $100 on eBay)
Friends - The One with All Ten Seasons (Limited Edition) (2005) (2 copies, 1 sealed) - I really should sell that sealed copy.
Batman the Animated series the complete series
I think I also have this version of Of Mice and Men. If I could find it I'd sell it in a flash. http://www.amazon.com/Mice-Men-Rober...f+mice+and+men

There's probably a ton more. Sometimes I browse Amazon and am astounded that something goes OOP and the price jumps through the roof.

I have blind bought so much over the years and just never opened them. If I see a movie gets to $50 or so, I usually sell it (with rare exceptions - I'll probably never sell Quatermass, Supergirl, Batman TAS or GAH). Stuff get's reprinted all the time and most movies I just buy to watch -- and a blind buy is not worth 50 bucks to me. There are a few I collect though and those don't get sold.


There's a lot of that Anchor Bay stuff that is worth some bucks. I remember K-Mart had a clearance on those and I picked up 1 of almost every title. I sold Condorman for $150, just before Disney rereleased it. It's still worth almost 90 bucks.

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

I own a lot of the ones mentioned but can anyone tell me what "Exit To Eden" is going for? Amazon lits it in the $50s used. It that pretty accurate?

Re: Your Most Valuable DVD
 

A DVD copy of Exit to Eden sold for $5 recently but most seemed to be priced starting around $35 now. If you click on Sold Listings, after you do a search, you can see what something has sold for in the last few weeks.
