Same goes for PCEngine game collectors. Some won't buy a game if it doesn't have the obi strip.

Makes no sense to me as you can't play the obi.

To me, an obi is usually more fun than the content. I would never buy any Laserdisc, music CD, video game or comic that is missing the obi (as long as it was originally included). But then I'm a completist. :P

Mostly NTSC, a couple PAL.

The guy who sold them to me is selling off a large collection pretty cheaply by UK standards - link to his ad is below:

http://www.gumtree.com/p/other-music-fi ... 1112340434

Unusually for Gumtree, he appears to be ready to do mail order (at least in the UK). While I didn't actually count his disks, he's definitely got several hundred - I saw them - and all of the ones I bought are in reasonable used quality, ranging from ex-rental to very good.


Well I appreciate the link and the fact that you are sharing ;)


I have to admit that I didn't mention it here until I'd got the ones I wanted...

Happened to walk by the record box at the thrift store, saw BTTF in front. Figured there hadn't been a vinyl release of that so I checked and found these two.

They also had Batman Returns, Dune and Apollo 13, but I'd only have been interested in the last one and I bought it on Blu-ray in December.

Still, $1 each isn't bad.

I found a few lds at the thrift store today - some of these I already have but I will be giving those to my brother:

1. The Mind's Eye
2. Odyssey Into the Mind's Eye
3. Carmen de Yasuko Nagamine
4. Kyoto Vivaldi Four Seasons
5. The Statue of Liberty
6. Michael Nesmith Elephant Parts
7. Pippin
8. The Nutcracker
9. Smetana - Ma Vlast
10. Tangerine Dream - Canyon Dreams
11. Video Visits - Great Cities of Europe
12. Video Visits - Japan

13. Honorable mention - a CED box set of Many Roads to Murder - one disc and an insert - since it was in a box the CED cover is pristine.

Nothing earth shattering but they were cheap.

Found the time to go trough my recent purchased collection of 250 discs :crazy: :thumbup:
I found The big Lebowski. Never realized the cover is that 8-)
Surprised to see an almost perfect picture coming from this laserdisc. There's a lot worse material around IMHO :thumbup:
I love browsing trough a collection that was stored in boxes for the last 15 years. Seller kept them in almost mint condition ,thank god. :clap:
Seller stated and I quote:

They are worthless these days, how much should I ask?

Me :think: : very very little if I where you :lol:

He almost paid me to get them downstairs and load them into my car :lol:
Collection came with 9 lp storage cases in mint condition and every single disc with inner paper sleeve and protective dustcovers.

A great buy, one of my best :thumbup:
Felt like a kid again today browsing the discs
That's one of the charms collecting ld I guess

I guess I should be glad it's only a week and a half late.

Yes, I've been humming the main theme since I opened the mailbox. :thumbup:

Two more lots from the 5 for $6 seller on the bay (I always go for 30 titles to get the free shipping).

Here is the mostly music lot I mentioned awhile back. After payment I received a message from the seller stating the covers on these were really not good (remember no pictures of these in the listing) and yup, he was right about the covers.

When I opened the box and saw them I did get a laugh. Shame though as the covers were really clean (as well as the discs) except someone had cut the corners off for whatever reason. But I have a lot of record albums in my collection as well and took some covers that had no records and used them as donors to fix them.

Image

It's not pretty but serves the purpose.


Then this lot was the most recent.

Now I REALLY need to stop buying and start watching. :lol:

That is very interesting. Maybe you can add them to the database at a later point.

Planning to (eventually :) ) - there's a mix of 1983 to 1992 disks, from what I can tell.
