Is there such a thing as a price guide and how many were pressed? I would classify myself as new to an older format, I only have about 200 ld's and most have been picked up in quantity so pretty cheap. I go for movies/genres that I like vs wanting all the Criterion or anime etc etc. I am curious as the value and quantity though, not that I plan on selling anything other than a few dupes. Scott |

Unfortunately, no there isn't. With internet auction sites and such I really don't think there is much use for price guides any more, the prices would be outdated by the time it was published. Besides the database, there really isn't a lot of information out there as far as what was released. I've been working on an outline for a book about the beginning of the home video industry and how it changed film with a very large portion devoted to laserdiscs, but who knows if it will ever go anywhere, (or if there will even be books by the time I'm finished). Guess I could always pass it along to everyone on here at least. |

Nice thing with Lulu, small press runs aren't a problem, as I understand it. So price guides for coins, antiques,records.... but not for LD's. I look at past auctions and throw out the top and bottom 20% and guesstimate it to be the range. I've bought a few LD's that have a bill of sale in the sleeve, apparently it was worth $94 when new, to me it's a buck or two, but I tend to rarely buy anything 'hot off the press' |

eBay used to give you 3 months worth of "Completed listings", then 1 month, then 3 weeks, now last time I checked they were down to 2 weeks. They used to have a page offering statistics/category, paying per quarter. It wasn't cheap, but I can't find it anymore... All the almost-10,000 LDs sold on LDDb will retain their date/price/condition information public forever to give an idea of what market value it could have. I know it's quite small compared to the whole catalog of discs with few transactions on rare discs, but it's the best I can do with what I have... Julien |
