Yeah I don't see the point in the insanely high prices for the slipcovers either, but some do. I have no experience with Craigslist... Although I had some good experiences in the late 90s selling some stuff on eBay, but I haven't messed with it much since then. I can usually find what I'm looking for at local shops, or I go with Amazon.dvdjunkie wrote:Note to DarthPrime, who wrote:
That's because their are idiots who have more money than brains and think that eBay, Craiglist and places like that are collectors heavens. They are not. You need to go to a collector's convention and see for yourself. Also Goldmine magazine is a real good source of collector's memorabilia and you will get a good idea what they sell for there.some slipcovers go for a pretty good amount online (trading sites, eBay, etc...).
I know about these things because I run a collector's show that travels to seven states here in the Heartland, and I know what collectors look for.

It was a tight year, but I managed to get ONE movie as a Christmas present:

And this one I picked up myself this week for 9.99 at Best Buy:

I do wish Blu-Rays that incude DVDs would be clearer about it these days. I was very confused on the Scott Pilgrim one, as with the Sucker Punch one I got a while back that I THOUGHT included a DVD but didn't (as with the recent, animated Green Lantern movie I haven't gotten around to picking up yet but I think DOES include a DVD). As you can see, the Scott Pilgrim one, though it DOES include a DVD version, doesn't mark it anywhere (except maybe on the slip cover it didn't have when I bought it). I was relieved to find one inside, because here at my mom's house where I'm visiting right now, I don't have a blu-ray player. I'm having to wait to watch Sucker Punch, the one I've never seen before and was really psyched about.

I got these from my future in laws.



I've never watched, A Christmas Story (okay down now and don't throw lace collars at me yet or Loomis's article of clothing ) I'll probably watch for whoever who ever reads this, I'll watch it sometime, but something tells me I'll watch soon as I can
