No AC3, P&S and probably censored (it's Singapore!).

Not really...

Me neither, even if I had a spare $10,000 ... which I don't.

(referring to an old thread where a poster was looking for an LD with the Singapore rating card)

Well at least its not the copy I sold for 50 on ebay close to when I added the updated on the lddb page.

But the seller is a real doorknob to be asking that much, it was P&S and I think there is some info floating around as to whether or not this is censored,
had all the info when I sold it but its not worth 1/3rd an EV.

I just assume that each of these unrealistically priced ebay listings is money laundering.

Hi Mark,

I've noticed this listing several times in the past. The seller is living in a "fool's paradise", a fantasy world all his own! He may as well accept that he is never going to sell that disc and remove that listing. All he's doing is paying needless listing fees to eBay for an item he will never sell unless he makes a MASSIVE adjustment to his asking price first. Actually, I saw the $44.99 copy you are referring to and considered buying it, but didn't. There were simply too many other discs I wanted much more at the time - and much better ones, I might add! It never ceases to amaze me how many sellers there are out there like this one, who think like P.T. Barnum, that there is "a sucker born every minute". There are even a great number of such sellers right here in our midst on LDDb, although they are the outliers. The vast majority of sellers here are honest and reputable people who aren't trying to get rich by taking advantage of the simple-minded. No one in their right mind is going to pay that kind of money for a single laserdisc! For that matter, I don't think there is anyone NOT in their right mind who would do that! I know a lot of people probably think I'm totally insane because I own over 9000 laserdiscs, but even a fanatical collector like myself isn't going to do such a foolhardy thing. If I decided to spend 10 grand on laserdiscs in one fell swoop (which I never have, and never will), I would damn well expect to be getting a stack of at least 100 top shelf titles for that kind of money. The most I've spent in one purchase was about 2 grand on several occasions over the years. Most of those were big deals with our old friend, Nicolas Santini (n$a), but for that money, I got about 20 top-of-the-line Japanese imports in excellent condition. And I mean RARE ones! I also made one big deal years ago with a seller in Hong Kong for about 2 grand. On that one, I got about 35 truly RARE Hong Kong discs in great shape, most of which I have never seen another copy of in the years since then. $10000 for one disc? Absolute insanity! :crazy:

Best Regards,
David :wave:

The answer to this question for any LaserDisc is no.

Well the unfortunate deal is that ebay is free to list now, so these fools can list forever for free to keep them up with buy it now.

I think its more waiting for the crypto buyer than a real buyer.
