WOW, i haven't seen duff for a long time.
used to be on the bay stuff by duff.
he had great deals, from yo mamas collection etc.
i've got to check it out.

I think he left ebay as the restrictions on ebay and their heavy cut into profits drove him out. This week was the first time I ordered from him but it seems he has great customer service and awesome prices. I'll report back when I receive the disks next week.

yeah, i remember that's sort of why i stoped selling LDs on the bay.
they started to limit you if you listed more than 30 LDs and then you had to have some type of? to sell more.

can't really remember what you had to have.
but now i don't know, i only have about 20 discs up, so i guess it's O.K. now?

but he always did a great job of packing and grading.
and prices were not crazy like some i won't mention!!!

Actually i have a suggestion....

If you are looking for a new place to try for laserdiscs...and i have actually had success with this rescently.

Try this...if your city or town has a mom and pop shop that sells old records go on in there and ask them if they have any laserdiscs. The reason i tell u this option to try...is because those that do not know what a laserdisc is often assume that what they are looking at is a record and often get rid of them with there old records. And it seems that the last few years...people that have had older relatives pass on and have to go through their personal effects have often sold off what they assume are records to these mom and pop record shops.

So try it....you may just find some jems.

saw this at the Goodwill in Santa Clarita..

I just checked the Snowrecords Japan website. It says there on holidays right now, but I don't see any laserdiscs, just vinyl records. Have they maybe pulled them off being their away? Or have they stopped selling laserdiscs?

As far as I know Snowrecords no longer sell LDs.
Glad I purchased a large quantity from them over the last few years before they pulled out of the LD business as they often had some great music titles.

well, sometimes they mistakenly price their premium LDs for the clearance bin. found one of these with a yellow (non-clearance) price tag on the inside of the jacket ...

streetfight for a buck is not bad at all.
great film, i bought a painted cel from bakshi on the bay about 5 years ago.
i have that hanging on the wall below an ink drawing for size comparison.

yep, street fight was still tagged for $17.95 but guess nobody noticed and somehow got a orange clearance tag on it

I ran into a few LD's this weekend in an antique mall. Nothing great, a few Segal movies, most in rough shape. At 4.95 a piece I passed on them.

As of late only place I have picked up any LD's is on ebay.

I'm going to go to Thomas Video today and will take some pictures. That place is amazing. I'm excited because I've been getting into New Hollywood cinema seriously for the first time and I'm hoping to pick up a whole litany of titles that I haven't seen before, on my favorite format, laserdisc.

That is cool, a vast majority of my stuff comes from craigslist and otherplaces. I picked up a cool collection the other day that had a copy of the criterion killers in it. That was pretty cool as I didnt know it was in there. I havent been to many thrift stores around here but I guess I should head out and make a day of it. Might do it on labor day. See if I can find something. I have driven crazy distances though to pick stuff up. I will go just shy or 100 miles to get something I want.

As promised:











After spending another wonderful afternoon sorting through piles and piles of laserdiscs, I must say that this is indeed my favorite place in the entire world.

Wow, I already see a few titles I'd like. Please tell me this is one place that actually sells LDs for cheap. It would be nice to know that there isn't one store that won't rip you off.

I've only ever been there in person, so I don't know what the situation is with shipping/buying online. The people that run the store are really, really cool, and fair, but they also don't want to get ripped off, which I totally understand. My strategy when I go is to go through every laserdisc and find the ones I want with the lowest price tags (every title is 50% off the price tag, without price tags they set the price at around what the disc usually sells for). They often have two, three copies of discs with different price tags, so it's something of a game to try to find the one with the lowest one. When there's one that I want for less than the price tag I suggest what I'll pay for it and they say what they'll accept and if it's higher than what I'll pay for it then I put it back. I often end up putting back quite a few, and sometimes regretting it. Which is kind of fun because I'll remember that and then try to pick up some of the ones I passed up on the next time I go. They have a website at www.thomasvideo.com .

WOW looks like a few thousand Laserdisc there, but they need to be kept vertical upright. I'd be checking each and one of them though for possible cracks after being lent over like that with so much weight pressing on them.
