Which is where the whole "budget your money" and "prioritize which you want" come it. If you know there are either limited copies (like Treasures) or limited shelf life (like Platinums), prioritize those over stuff that could always be available. And if it's something that's already been vaulted but you still want, be prepared for a higher price and set money aside for it, and search for it either at the aforementioned stores, or online from reputable dealers (for example, at UD disneyguy pretty much is the reigning king of selling OOP DVDs to forum members).BDF wrote:Okay on all accounts, but let's not forget, especially in the case of Disney animated movies, the limited amount of time in which a movie is available (more specifically, when it goes back into what Disney calls "the vault").I'm not saying to buy like...10 DVDs a day for the rest of your life. Just know what DVDs you want to buy, and prioritize which ones you'd want over others, while always taking into account how much you want to spend on DVDs in the first place. If you don't have enough for a particular title, then hold out awhile until you do. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the convenience of having some movies at your leisure for the necessity of having money to buy food/gas/utilities/etc.
