I buy lots of used dvd's. Only good experiences expect for once when a seller said the dvd was in almost new condition and it turned out to be an Ex-Rental.

I buy quite a lot of used DVDs from the local Blockbuster (when they have their 4 for 20 OR 3 for 30 sales) since they have a 30 day guarantee that the DVD will work properly. I tag these DVDs so that I can figure out which one's were bought used. As of current count 51 of my 320 profiles are bought from Blockbuster. Apart from these I sometimes (but very rarely) buy from users here who post in the Trading forum...

Another thing to mention ... is that before I actually buy a used DVD, I ask to see the DVD itself, so that I can check for scratches and imperfections before I hand over any money. (Especially at places like Blockbuster or ... anyplace that cells ex-rentals.)

I bought a rather large lot one time.  95% of them met my expectation of the condition stated for each in the listing, so that was a pretty good win. However, there were three that were all chewed up on the corners of the case.  Literally.  I presume it was a dog.  Anyway, he threw in 3 extra discs (w/o cases) which softened the blow, but I was still pretty irked.  All in all it was a good experience, but I didn't love it.

I bought 5 used DVD'd today from Newbury Comics @ lunch. 2.99 each and all 5 look like they were never played.

Married To The Mob
The Pest
Life With Father
Phil The Alien

14.95 plus tax for the lot.
