Gamestop?
 
I just noticed that I have two of these in town but i'm not a gamer so ive never stopped by. How is their selection of dvds? Good prices? OOP stuff?

Whenever I've looked, it's been your typical "clean out the DVD collection for game credit" selection - which they turn around and sell at a much higher price than they should. You might occassionally find a gem but I've never had any luck.

Ditto. I think the best find I've seen at one was Alice in Wonderland GOld or Platinum or whatever the better one is for like 12 bucks. I guess you could get lucky and find a rarer title, or take advantage of their B2G1 sales.

YMMV at all Game Stops. The other day, I found a copy of the 12 Chairs and sold it on amazon for 130 bucks. I recomment bi-weekly visits.

Not too much at both stores today... Only criterion was Royal Tenenbaums... All I picked up was a great condition copy of the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 collection vol. 1 for $10. Oh well, one good deal.

Just bought this at superpawn.com (like new condition) for 6.41 shipped! :)

Thanks for the tip about this movie!

With the B2G1 free sale, they have some pretty good deals. Most recently, I picked up Six Feet Under season 4, Seinfeld season 3 and South Park season 4 for a total of about $65. The most common good deal I see is that they tend to have decent used prices on relatively expensive HBO sets. Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Carnivale, Band of Brothers, etc. are typically priced at $39.99 or $49.99. During the B2G1 sales, this would bring them to around an average of $27 or $33 a set. I've had no luck finding these sets cheaper anywhere else.

God bless America. Be sure to sell it before the re-issue hits pre-order on Amazon.

Didn't see anything about a re-release on this though.

There's a few threads on GameStop, singing their praises. Personally, I've had plenty of success there. Tons of OOP,Criterion, Disney, ETC.

I dunno, I've never found anything really astonishing at mine. Yesterday was not bad, I bought The Fog (original), I Spit on Your Grave, and Paths of Glory (Kirk Douglas) for $7.00. They were 3 for $9.99 plus B2G1F, so it worked out pretty well. But my area is pretty lacking for rare titles anyhow. I will probably start hitting Gamestops in the big cities and see what I can accomplish.
