Unbelievable Movie Prices

[crabapple]

Schlock had a brief DVD release that apparently was a short run and is now out of print and hard to find. When they were newer, the DVDs could be found for five dollars or so. Not anymore!

But I guess it's like the region 1 Phantasm DVD...currently out of print and pricey, but a new run is being prepared and then you'll be able to get it cheap again.

I just found another one...

Trilogy Of Terror VHS - $100 :eek:

[Posher778]

How dare you change my thread name! Blasphemy!! Alright it's fine.

Yeah, I saw trilogy of terror for 120 on dvd somewhere recently.

GggGGggggghhhhh! I used to have Trilogy of Terror on VHS, I bought it for like a dollar or two at a used video store!! That's worth a hundred now?

Same thing with that Schlock DVD...I used to have two copies of it and I gave one away! I almost wish I hadn't...but this buddy of mine, you know, needed it and stuff.

Okay...You're getting a link to this one because you won't even believe it:

I'm sorry but...NO movie is THAT damned good!!!



And I though the Little Shop Of Horrors with Rick Moranis DVD for $250 was a stunner

I have to say, OMG WTF!!!??

I had to look "Boardinghouse" up to make sure I was reading all this correctly. Never seen the film but there was a gooooood trailer on some Gorgon Video tape (Nightbeast, I think) and this movie looked like some really prime cheese-grade garbage. Unabashedly shot on video back when the idea of that was uncouth. It looks like a fun movie but for $1,800 or whatever, I think someone is showing off or listing the title as a kind of sick joke, figuring no one is gonna come forward with that kind of money for a film like this. But then again, geeks are known to be obsessive, and some of them even have money. Damn interesting.

Trilogy of Terror for a hundred dollars? wow thats unimaginable. Here it is available for around 100-150 rupees, which is about 2-3 dollars in your currency. DVDs cost around 9-10 dollars here by that currency conversion count, and that is more expensive. The problem is that shops here dont keep VHS anymore because CDs and DVDs have completely taken over with their superior sound and picture quality, and the availability of VHS is pretty hard.

And don't forget the Little Shop Of Horrors with Rick Moranis DVD for $250...Who would actually PAY that?


And NOW...I can't find a copy of Nightmare On The 13th Floor for less than $30...And the $30 one is a used VHS, "with scuffed case"...GRRRRR

[Kane_Hodder]

wow. They are ripping you off your money in the US, thats for sure. Here nobody will even dream of paying that much for an used VHS. The most it will cost is around half a dollar, and even for that its tough to find a buyer.

Most (almost ALL) of the movies I buy are $5 or less, and I get many for 75 cents (but then I have to pay almost $3 for shipping), and that's VHS AND DVD...I don't mind those, I buy them all day long...But, I keep running into REALLY hard to find movies lately....I DID pay $22 for The Nanny (Bette Davis), and about that much for Ghosthouse...But, I wanted those REALLY badly.....Of course, NOW (after the fact) I just found The Nanny for $12...Damned stupid rotten luck...
