i've been buying laserdiscs for a couple of years .. but it's over now .. the main canadian guy who sells on ebay isnt selling anymore...

the other guy who ran a store closed it - so thats done ..

although i initially bought them on ebay here and there i eventually only dealed with these 2 guys exclusively because they were honest - good business and i trusted them (both ended up being friends as well)

i pretty much have everything i could want on laserdisc these days anyway ..

but no ... i've only seen a amall fraction of the 2000+ lasers i have ..so far.

What laserdisc player do you have? We had one deep in storage but due to the lack of actual discs got rid of it.

you should get around to seeing em then.

How are you gonna keep em though? Just curious cuz I read somewhere (in these threads) that LDs (for that matter CDs and DVDs too) suffer from that whatcha-may-call-it condition?
when it gets spoilt and the black-silver thingy of the LD inside the outer protective circle of the LD is affected?

damn my memory is too short...:(


Neways I m asking cuz my collection is growing too, and I have no idea how to keep em safe from any sort of damage. Do I keep em like they are, in their keep cases? or is there a better alternative?

laser rot .. doesnt affect all lasers - just specific titles that are known rotters.

i'll probably convert the rare stuff to DVD though .. more in the event that all my players eventually break.

i have 6 or 7 of them .. maybe more ..

several different pioneers, sonys, and even a marantz.

i have even more that are broken but i'm purging right now and i'm gonna dump all the old electronics that dont work ..

that'll include cd players, dvd players, vhs machines, etc ... should make a sizeable pile on garbage day.

ahh yes laser rot...

sizeable pile? you planning a huge garage sale soon then :D

Right ppl...I have read all posts and none of the titles of movies match the film I asking about any other suggestions??????
