$10? Seems a little high to me. I've gotten "Phantasm" multiple times for $4 a pop. Hell, pawn shops only pay $2-$3 a disc, anyway. Is it a chain or independently owned?

You pretty much have to get lucky or go to pawn shops every day to find dvd deals. Flea Market dealers in our area hit them quite often. The scumbags in our area reseal them to pass them off as new.
I did get lucky and find the old X Files seasons 1 thru 6 in mint condition for $12 each. They had just went out and where priced $15 each, which was still a bargain. I asked how much for a take all deal. So the deals are there if you get lucky.

I picked up a $2 Chasing Amy Criterion and traded it for the Spiderman Monopoly game with a friend.
I also picked up Space - Above and Beyond for $13 and change. I asked if I could get that set, another set and what the price was. He came back and told me $5 then changed his mind to $15 which I thought was crooked. He stated that he thought I was pawning them. That's the second time that's happened. I'm tempted to go "Oh, ok. So you want take them for $5....oh, ok...I'll bring them home then....." But that would be bad.......
