I think I saw a copy of Iron Giant on DVD at my local thrift store for a buck.

I'm more shocked at titles that were high, went down in price as you are saying Substance, then now since they are 80s films are back up to stupid prices.

One is Big Trouble in Little China, on ebay it was actually selling for 15-45 and asking 100.
Another is Creepshow 2, why is there a copy for 100 bucks. Creepshow 2 (1987) [ID5185NW]

Different pressing but I think its actually the same but a miss insert is 20 bucks. Creepshow 2 (1987) [INW5185]

Horror movies and the like (since Big Trouble in Little China is directed by John Carpenter) appear to be one of the genres that get price gouged these days.

I keep seeing the Halloween and Friday the 13th titles on LD, despite them being P&S LDs and the films have subsequently been released on DVD and blu-ray with the proper AR, being sold for far more than they're actually worth. But people still pay those prices for some reason.

Mancave trophies, most likely.

Well at least most of the Friday the 13th movies are just 1.85:1 so they're not quite as much of an abysmal experience in pan & scan like the Halloween movies are.

I was very tempted to sell off the LD a few days ago when I saw the 2 disc DVD for 4 bucks with free shipping on ebay.
Cash in on 30+ for someone's man cave is always a nice thing but I do enjoy the LD and just don't watch my films as much when they sit on the shelf of DVDs
over LDs.
