The majority of my discs are used. I picked up the complete boxed sets of Twin Peaks for free, on Craigs List. (Although one disc was missing, but for free? Can't complain.)
Another purchase, 400+ discs, some new, for $30. Again, Craigs List.
Seventy discs for $50, again, CL.
Two hundred discs, and a Pioneer CLD D704 player, for $200, again, CL.
The deals are out there, just have to keep searching.

So, now I can finally specify the great deal I made, as I got all material today. My friend visited me with a car full of boxes. And this is what I go in detail: - Pioneer CLD-D925 - Mycap Junior (CC Decoder) - 128 Laserdisc Movies: 1 United Kingdom LD 2 Japanese LD 25 German LD 100 US LD 5 Special DVD Box Sets (German - out of print and very expensive on market places) Still pending: Pioneer DVD Recorder (for PAL to NTSC recording and reversed - still under repair at the moment. My own recorder can only record PAL.) Well, now finally we made a real deal. My friend gets 350 € for all of this, what I can pay by installments. And I say, this is still a very good deal for all of this material...

Back in the early 90's I got a copy of "The LIttle Mermaid" LD from a video store used for $9.99. It was long OOP at that time and I sold it on consignment at another store for $250 (minus a $25 comission to the store). About 8 years ago, I walked into a thrift store and found a Pioneer Elite Laserdisc player in perfect working order for $10. I kept that until I broke it while moving last year.......

I just got around 150 discs for the pricey sum of $0.00. Some guy was just giving them away in the classified section. The rarest thing in there was probably a copy of Flesh Gordon. Managed to get all of the TOS Star Trek films (some in P&S, some in LBX, some both), Indiana Jones Trilogy (just missing a LBX copy of Temple, only have it in P&S), Terminator 2 in P&S, a non-rotting DADC copy of Volcano, most of the major Disney animated films from the latter half of the 90s (now only missing Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast, not counting Mulan and Tarzan since they're Japanese only releases), and the 3M release of It's a Wonderful Life (in Color!).
Perspective wise, I managed to fill a 35 gallon tub just to hall these suckers home.

One deal that stands out for me was a Panasonic LX 900u for £60 off ebay in 2013, when it came it was brand new, unused in its sealed box, the only downside was it had been (strangely) packed with batteries in the remote, when I came to take the remote out of its packing the batteries had leaked and now I cant seem to fix it, but the player was literally brand new......Im always on the lookout for a replacement remote.

Found a almost mint pulp fiction for 3-4 bucks, along with a copy of video essentials and a reference disc. The reference disc is kinda a weird one, has a hole chapter about following around 2 Japanese woman drinking tea and talking about shops in tokyo.
