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.

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.
