As I've mentioned before I don't even collect movies (well not many) on laserdisc and I had 4 out of the 5 titles listed making them some of the most common LDs ever sold.
So I think the discs would indeed need to be manufactured from pure gold to fetch the price that person is looking....stranger things have happened though!

Well, since they're supposedly New/Sealed guy thinks they worth more than used discs. Can't knock him for trying!

When I first started collecting laserdiscs the thing I found most difficult to estimate was the true value of a particular disc.
In particular some music LDs would fetch hundreds of dollars and others consistently sold for as little as $10 max.
I had to literally watch lots of discs on Ebay sell over and over again to get a good feel for their real value.

I obviously made a few mistakes in the early days myself. I remember someone telling me Grand Funk live was mega rare on laserdisc.
I definitelt paid over the odds for a rather scruffy and incomplete copy of it:
Grand Funk: Live - The American Band (1974) [DLZ-0112]

It is quite a rare title but definitely not mega rare - I've since seen loads of mint copies of that disc appear on Ebay over the years so overestimated how much it was really worth. In general music laserdiscs costing a few hundred dollars are common place and that particular title was just a very average title in terms of rarity - great concert though!

Yeah, but throw us a bone, even Paul Simon in concert would have made it a little better.

It would definitely have sweetened the deal a little, as long as they didn't also try including This is Garth Brooks: Live Performances (1992) [PA-92-493].

The only other music laserdisc I can think of that crops up every single day in life on Ebay is Garth Brooks: Garth Brooks (1991) [PA-92-441].

I don't have either in my collection and for once I am not in a rush to get them!

Thats why I threw in Paul Simon, I didnt cant to say Clint Adkins or Garth Brooks. I think the Clint one is right, or Travis Tritt. I dont know, they all look alike. :)
