LD availability in Brick & Mortar Stores - West Houston

Guest · Posted: 05 Feb 2012, 15:37

Hello all,

This is my first post. I am just now joining the LD collecting community. I have learned that Half Price Books has a small selection at most stores and I have found Audio Video Plus in downtown. Is there anywhere else to find discs? Thanks.

I go into the Houston area Half Price Books from time to time. I picked up the Rush Chronicles LD from the HPB on Westheimer and Montrose last week. It's fun to take a Sunday afternoon every six months or so and go brick and mortar LD hunting at all the Houston HPB's.

Audio Video Plus is interesting because they have about 700 brand new sealed laserdiscs, mostly obscure b-movies and c-movies, but they charge full retail prices: $19.99-$99.99 per disc. I found a quite a few interesting titles, but I just couldn't bring myself to shell out $35 apiece.

Thanks for the reply. I've wondered what the turn-over rate would be at hpb. From your post,it sounds like I should try again this summer.

I also hear you regarding Audio Video Plus. They have an amazing selection of vhs and laserdiscs for that matter, but they are far from "low cost". So, are there any other places I should check?
