Picked up some LD's on Sat. at my local thrift store. I found a nice little collection of titles, mostly what I would rate in 8-10 condition. Nothing that I couldn't live without, but a few movies that I don't have on DVD or in my Plex (media server) library.

Picked up: The Relic (wanting to get on DVD for awhile), The Phantom, Pretty Woman, Mission Impossible, Angels in the Outfield, The Arrival, A League of Their Own, Dragon Bruce Lee, Broken Arrow. There was a good deal more and I'll probably go back and grab the rest if they're still there.

They cost a whopping 2.48 each.

During checkout the lady wanted to make sure I knew these were LD's. I said I wasn't sure how anyone could mistake them for DVD's, trying not to sound too condescending, but I think she might have been referring to LP's, again not sure since they were movies.

When walking out the door a man stopped and asked if I collected LP's. I said Laserdiscs, actually. He had a puzzled look on his face and said what's that? Pre DVD's, I responded. I told him what they were and he was a little amazed having never heard of them before.

Any way, first time buying some LD's locally. I'd like to find more local because they tend to go more per disc on eBay.

yeah i find LD's at thrift stores once in a while, theres this one store near me thats been getting quite a few recently, all chick flicks though so i have no interest lol but i guess someone has been buying them cuz every week theres a couple new ones put there and the ones i saw before are gone so somebody around my town has a laserdisc player and loves chick flicks and someone else had a laserdisc player and had chick flicks on LD ROFL

Some of those chick flicks are worth some cash so you might want to check them out more closely. I sell those puppies and take the cash and buy other ones that I do want. They are usually right in the 15 to 20 dollar range but I do have a few that are more. I sell them often as well, I have just as many women customers as I do men, though they are usually a little more picky.

There's this one thrift shop near where this one mom and pop video store was a big supporter of Laserdisc (they had a HUGE rental selection and a lot for sale in their heyday), so they normally have a good number of LDs for sale. They're unfortunately not selling them as cheap as you'd think for a thrift shop--$5-10 each. I still pick up a few from time to time (mostly Looney Tunes discs.)

They also have CEDs every now and then.
