For my birthday I bought The Japanese Blu-ray of my Neighbor Totoro, yes its used, and i paid like 20 more than I would for a new one at retail but its local and I don’t have to pay for import taxes and shipping. I’m also supporting a small business.

I also bought an extremely expensive 80 dollar laserdisc set with OBI of Aliens Japanese Special Collection. This person’s collectibles shop is just very high in prices even with a sale. But they did give me a couple of deals before in Star Trek and Star Wars discs. Probably only gets like half of what I paid after tax and shipping and ebay fees.40 bucks is nothing to write home about. But I will still grouse because of inflation.

All in all both items came to 50 or 60 more combined than i wanted to pay. Because i don’t want to best offer haggle and the free shipping and discount options are a joke.

Underworld Blood Wars DVD. I think this is Region 1 NTSC.

Triple feature of Ultraviolet, Serenity and Resident Evil 2 PAL used. This is UK DVD Region 2.

And also Indiana Jones trilogy and 4th disc bonus content. French PAL release. Lowry. Used. I don’t know if that has English audio I assume it does, but it was 7 dollars it was hard to pass up.

I mean of course they are DVD but to me 28 bucks for 7 films is pretty good in any format. Good DVD prices, even if some of the titles aren’t the best and that is putting it mildly. Their VHS prices were insane though no VHS is worth 20 dollars even if its sealed especially Temple of Doom or Last Crusade. I would have paid that for a sealed first issue Raiders though if even on the high side, but there are zillions of copies of the sequels. and so many reissues of Raiders through the 1980s the only one that is correct is the one that advertises a 1984 release for Temple of Doom.
