Hello all. ADam here. Just wanted to start a new thread here in the General Discussion Forum. What is your latest and greatest Rare/Oop dvd "Find of the Day"?  Yesterday, at my local Movie Stop, i snagged a excellent cond. Planet Terror (Best Buy Store Exclusive Steelbook) for $8.99. It came with all three disc and there all mint. My other great find was The Big Alligator River 3.99 used mint. Well i can't wait to hear from all you other there.

                                                                                        1ADam12 out!

Overall, greatest OOP find is Wuthering Heights (026359072925).  Currently on Amazon starting at $176.  Came into our shop and cost me 3 hours of extra time. 

Now if we can just get a copy of The Slipper and the Rose ... 

Purchased a new and sealed copy of Targets (1967) for 1 cent on e-bay recently.

I managed to find a copy of the deluxe or special or whatever edition of Meet Joe Black, which movie I haven't watched, because the important thing was that this edition included the original Death Takes a Holiday. That was at a store in California a couple years ago, when I couldn't find it anywhere else.

BTW, if anyone sees a copy of the Disney tin Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, don't hesitate to grab it. It went on sale last November and I believe it was generally gone before the year ended.

Ahh, I went out of my way to hunt down a copy of Meet Joe Black for that very same reason.  I believe it was billed as the Ultimate Edition.

Last I checked, Dr. Syn could still be ordered through the Disney Movie Club, for those that are still looking.

This title and I have a small history as well. A few years back I found a copy at an out-of-the-way mall store that was closing down (the whole mall was closing it turned out). I sat on it for a few months then decided, "I guess I'm not going to watch this, so skip it" and threw it on ebay. That one sold for $70 or so, netting me a nice profit.
2 years later I'm looking around on ebay and someone has a few copies of this up, but insted of crazy prices it was buy-it-now $8.99, with $3 shipping. I risked it (the sellers feedback was low and made it a gamble) but a brand new one came a few days later in the mail.

As for finding anything rare and OOP lately..., they closed almost all the used stores in town at just the wrong time. This would be the time to find great things as people sell them off obliviously while going Blu. Of all the Game-Stops in town, only one even has any dvds anymore, and they'rer weeding em out too. I got 2 used record stores left, but those are downtown where parking sucks and hardly anyone goes to sell dvds. Oh yeah, I got FYE in the mall where used discs sometimes cost more than new ones, even ones not OOP.
Sad state of affairs here.

I've picked up a few out of print dvds over the last month or so.  All from Ebay or Amazon's market place:

Hey everybody 1ADam12 here. Had a really really good day yesterday. I had some really good finds at my local movie stop. I found 4 really nice used products ALL FOR UNDER $20!! they are:
Supergirl limited ed. number 764/50000
Bebe's Kids
Snapcase original pressing of Serial Mom
Mallrats Coll. Ed.
I was floored when i saw the Lim. Ed. Super girl and Bebe's Kid's. Super girl was 4.99 and bebe's kids was 5.99.  Well talk to you all later.

                                                                                                                                            1ADam12 out.

As much as I hated Bebe's Kids when I saw way back when, I'd give it another try for that price. Seen that thing on ebay lately?  
You'd think it was Gone with the Wind or Cassablanca getting prices like that for a bare-bones disc.

Nice low # on the Supergirl too, congrats on the find.

Not exactly tought to find, but Borders is running 50% off in an attempt to clear inventory and I found the Burt Lancaster Signature Collection.  Since Warner has stopped producing it, I figured I should grab it.
