If you want to deal with other collectors then yes try various forums like xtempo says. Just last summer I bought...hell I don't even remember how many discs but I bought some anime off a guy on a forum for $348 and much of it was half or more discounted compared to going eBay rates...

It's still the physical format of choice for the masses? Oh but that's right; you want to make some money off those 'rare' DVD's. Cynical much? Speaking of rare DVDs tho, I've had a non-bootleg copy of Begotten on DVD since at least 2008 and I think I've only watched it once. It's not exactly your typical pop corn flick. Hell, it's not even so much a movie you watch as you subject yourself to it.

Yeah it's pretty rare that a Japanese release hasn't been added here and the odd time I find one missing that I've acquired I'm happy to add it myself.

I posted the long version of this on another thread, but have an update. I spent a day hitting all of the local thrift/pawn stores on a similar task as what you're asking about. While I was mainly trying see if any players were still out in the wild (btw, 8), I wanted to fill in my Star Wars discs & keeping an eye out for good box sets, 3D, or odd/interesting. While the shelves are full, it took the scanning of several thousand to find just 2 Star Wars offerings. Persistence may pay off at these 2nd hand shops, but I discovered something much better: FB marketplace has become a very active site to find some very (previously) hard to find items for cheap. (so far, no LD players ) but... It took me only a quick search to locate several Star Wars discs. Filled in my Episode I,II & III br+dvd for $12.27 shipped while IV,V,&VI cost $15 & a nearly wasted day of hunting. I also in the last few weeks found a pair of lightly used Logitech Harmony 890 remotes w/ 3 hubs (searched on a whim) ...and amazingly a turntable matching mine that I have been searching years to find. (for parts only, but I only needed parts; Sanyo Plus Q50) I'm in Colorado Springs just an hour south of Denver, so I'm sure YMMV, but only the Star Wars was in Denver, the other two items were each a 15 min drive. Anyone else here tried FB marketplace? Results?

I got it for a pretty good deal and I think the reason is because most serious LD collectors are still not utilzing FB Marketplace as much as ebay and craigslist.

U.S. only. Founded in 2007. Ugh... $4.95/credit. US only Cheaper (but...): flickflop.com works by mailing the discs only. for $1.99, or "upgrade" for $.50. US & Canada ...and this site lists swap sites of many types: www.swaptrees.com
