There was a collection of around 700 discs that someone posted a few months ago for free.
Wasn't able to pick it up due to space and a no from my wife.

I'm sure you can find the right person for your collection.
Good luck.

Some notes:

Most Laserdiscs aren’t worth the cost of shipping.

The number of discs is determined by the running time. One hour per side with CLV discs, one half hour per side for CAV discs. A short movie may be one disc, a movie in CAV format may be as many as five sides.

Those thick plastic ziplock things, at least one ones I’ve see, can really mess up jackets pretty bad from my experience, especially if the owner liked to leave the jacket in there and just pull the disc in and out. I’d expect the opening edge of the jacket will be pretty dinged up.

The LDDB Top Ten is the last ten discs most people want. It represents what they already have and what the most common discs are. They WERE in demand, but now that there are enough LDs for everyone at super low prices nobody is going to pay much for T2 special edition anymore because they already have three copies.

Good luck. There must be an LD fan on Guam still.

Not related to this ad here but I love it when some people list “most are two disc special editions” for LDs :)

Somehow I've lucked out and got rid of my 3 copies years ago.

I’m not sure how I even got mine. I sure didn’t pay really money for a Terminator movie so it would have come in a lot.

I’m glad I got to see it for cheap. The video is really about as good as it gets on LD.
