Just picked up my latest ebay haul.
Yes it is a little bragging and gloating, but I love seeing and reading about others' finds and deals too. Feel free to comment with one of your own!

I was kind of surprised to get this lot for less than $50, maybe cause she had titles like "Star Wars The defiant collection"? I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but atleast my collection will look nice with the big black case :D
Lots of good ones that I didn't have yet...Turns out Jurassic Park was the box set too.
Now I have 3 Pulp Fictions :roll: I should probably work on opening my LDDB store.

If you are new to laserdisc you cannot go wrong with bulk buys, but after you've been collecting for a while the novelty of getting the 10th copy of the same disc starts to wear off especially if it is one of the following:
Alien
Aliens
Blade Runner
Jurassic Park
Men in Black
Independence Day

Hello live2win,

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! $50 is a steal for that lot well done.

Enjoy watching

I remember regularly paying £50 for each title in thier day, mind you I have been paying more for the Japanese version during the past 8 years.

Sincere Regards

:thumbup:

Looks like "wildwomen" was cleaning out her ex's belongings. :lol:

Just curious: How much did she charge for shipping on all that?

I remember paying 6000 Belgian Francs ( that's 200$) for that Criterion collection version of "Silence of the lambs". :)

Haha yes 4 hours for wolf dancing! I have actually never seen it....But its got cool full colour prints in the box, kinda neat.
Wildwomen was (were?) great! She charged around $30 for shipping. I use a parcel service just across the Canadian/US border. To have 50 discs in 2 boxes sent to me in Canadia it would have been something crazy $200+
I love buying "lots", especially if it's kind of a surprise. I found a local guy to sell me 78 for $60, I didn't ask what they were for that price. Just met him, threw down the cash and walked out with boxes. It was lots of fun getting home and discovering what I had. :)
