Or (record) shops that either closed or not but appeared to have had a load of lds as well they want to get rid of. The equipment, the players, you will see with a load of lds together in the sale. Or they need the mony that bad and are maybe forced to sell half of their household. laserdisc_fan wrote: Re-issues of titles on DVD or Blu-ray will have minimum impact on the collectibility of laserdiscs at this stage since laserdisc is long past its heyday and is not in competition with other formats. This is because one of the main reasons people collect them still today is because THEY ARE laserdiscs which makes them completely unique from all other formats past or present.... Funny you mention. I was curious about Howard Jones's video's on dvd, but still haven't bought it yet. I am still watching the ld's. Though a pity his early concerts aren't issued on dvd, especially Live in Japan, which was only available on vhs and betamax and way harder to come by than his 4 lds combined.

I will dare to say %80 of all LD newcomers in the past 8 years was some dude who wanted to watch unaltered SW. Believe me, most of the serious LD collectors don't even post here. They just use the site to buy discs.

Oh there are plenty of examples of reissues devaluing the price of originals. In a lot of collectors markets. Including LPs, high end toys and high end clothing. I mean obviously an LD will go for more if it is unissued on DVD or BD.

I know a guy that has three sealed HK Song of the South. He did have contacts in that area 15-20 years ago, which is why he has (or had) a bunch of HK discs. Sold most of it now, though.

knatterbuechse wrote: I second that. Managed to find several music LDs during the last few months that I've been looking for a long long time. Prices weren't even half as high compared to previous offers I've seen about two or three years ago. Don't know if the same rules apply for other rare music or movie LDs of course. And there were quite a few collectors over here in Germany selling their entire collections during the last few months including rare titles and boxes and what not so there's plenty of stuff available right now... I collect rock/metal laserdiscs and I know what you mean. Just a few rare titles are worth hundreds or dollars but in general, compared to 2-3-4 years ago, the prices are lower. My collection is open so you can realize what kind of titles I mean.
