people might list its for 200+, but it doesn't sell for that. Don't let several sellers asking high prices fool you into thinking its worth that much. These high priced south parks are not moving at those prices.

I did see Laserdisc Vault sell one for 160ish recently, so on occasion, they do sell

Not on eBay. In the past year (Since Feb 24th) the most it has sold for is $95.00, not for lack of trying to sell it for more though.

I did mine otherwhere and it was right around 150 or so, but then again, it was perfect mint.

Once again remington nailed it.
Value is subjective.

Try pricing antiques...............
Or just check out a Southeby's or a Christie's auction sometime.
I love antiques but would not pay diddly squat for some of the stuff people throw big money at.

Laserdiscs are a dime a dozen right now.
But it will not always be that way as time marches on.
And needless to mention,the later the release the less quantity produced.....
Those late releases are rare enough as it is now.
Guys are bashing common mass produced titles all the time but no one is gonna rag on MI III or The Limey,
among many other circa 2000 releases.
Anyone care to throw a copy of U-571,American Beauty,or even 6th Day in the garbage?
I hope not !

So to sum up ....
Value is in the eye of the beholder....
That South Park Title is collectible even if your not into that kind of genre.

No going to the mall to buy laserdiscs anymore kids...
The gig is up, the format is ten years from the end of production.....
Just be thankful that many people collect and / or speculate these precious 12" platters !!! LoL !
Thanks to all for this thread......

... And thanks for the plug. It's odd how some either refuse to accept the concept of subjectivity or don't understand it. I have a thread running on this now,check "tech vs. personal pref." I have some 1999,2000 discs and can't say enough good about them. Love to get my hands on "Lake Placid" Japan only release. Stable hands lock up those later issue titles, can't blame 'em. Some common titles have surprised me with forgotten entertainment and awesome pq. I agree with your post 100%.

I like Cannibal as well. That movie was (re)discovered after South Park became popular which was toward the later years of LD unfortunately. The good news is the Troma DVD is packed full of extra stuff and the commentary is probably my all time favorite.

why is South Park the Movie worth so much?
