dvds for sale

[whispercricket]

I'm trying to make space by actually getting rid of discard dvds. I don't feel like dealing with eBay, and I was going to mail them to DigitalEyes, but I figured it was worth checking first to see if anyone I know wants anything I'm getting rid of. I've tried to price under the DigitalEyes trade-in price, but please let me know if you'd like to buy something but think it's overpriced (I hate pricing things). Also, to be fair, I've tried to mention if better versions are or will be available. To the best of my knowledge, all of these discs are in fine condition, and I'm happy to allow disc testing.

IMDB entry: Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall.

The dvd itself is quite nice - I just decided that I wouldn't want to rewatch the movie.

hmm, no don't think i want it. however, i do wnat the eva. what is best way to exchange goods for money? :)

[whispercricket]

Hmmm...I believe arawen will be in Waltham on Saturday for gaming. I expect, however, that you will be busy then - e-mail me?

Curses! I wanted the Eva, too. There's no way I can afford it retail in the forseeable future. Ah, well. tpau beat me to it fair and square.

[meranthi.livejournal.com]

I wanted it too, but $60 is more than I can afford with the baby right now. Phooey!

[taellosse.livejournal.com]

Considering I'm currently unemployed, $60 is technically more than I can afford, too, so I guess its just as well.

You might see other sets from people who are upgrading - it doesn't seem to have reduced the used store pricing, though.

your mention of that website will be useful, though. I'd never heard of it before. ladyarren and I are building our DVD collection as budget allows, and we've had to hold off on getting the 4th and 5th seasons of Babylon 5 because we couldn't afford them at regular retail prices. We got the first 3 at BJs, but they only stock new releases, really, and we missed our chance with the 4th season. This site isn't quite as cheap, but its alot better than the $100 they would cost elsewhere.

I fail to see what they can possibly be adding in this upgrade short of a section of deleted scenes involving Shinji and Kaoru expressing their *caugh* friendship *caugh* in more intimate ways that could possibly be worth repurchasing a set of DVD's that you allready own. Don't give in to nasty greedy marketing techniques.

Video and sound upgrade - I don't always replace discs (e.g. I decided not to bother with Dark Crystal Superbit), but this one looks like it's worth it.

It's Eva Renewal, except without the movies because those were licensed by a different company. I haven't watched Eva since a marathon in college, and considering some screenshots of the difference, I decided that I wanted to upgrade. Were the other discs fine? Yes. Were they cheaper? Absolutely. Are the new discs better enough to warrant an upgrade? In my opinion, yes, and while I may not see much of a difference on my current TV, I will upgrade someday.

I do feel sorry for the people who bought the Director's Cut episodes though, and now need to decide what they want to do - if I had done so, it would have been a much less straightforward decision for me.

(arawen said about the same thing to me, but I truly don't think this re-release is marketing scam.
