I think I have a theory why I am not buying as much anymore. It's simply because I ran out of space in my blu ray cabinet! It's a psychological effect where you want to fill up that empty space with content, and now that everything has been filled, just like my stomach is filled from a large meal, the interest fizzles away. It's quite funny, isn't it?

Why would you want to sell them all at once? You would get much better results selling them individually, particularly the OOP ones.

...that VACATION code doesn't work.

I would prob. individually sell the OOP titles on Ebay, but not sure if I should do an auction or a buy now option. Decisions, decisions.

Welll neither the store nor on-line had anything I was looking for. Oh well.

Black Friday for cinephiles, eh? Yep, pretty much.

Just four titles for this B&N sale.

The Asphalt Jungle
Mildred Pierce
One-Eyed Jacks
Lost in America

Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy and L'argent will have to wait for the next sale but that's quite alright because I think I'm good for now.

I understand not wanting to sell them as individual titles, but you're just throwing money away if you put them all up in one lot to sell them all at once. Sell them in lots of 10 or 20 on ebay, with out of print titles listed separately. I personally would've thought that themed lots would make sense (like "here's every Wes Anderson Criterion"), but the more I have looked, the more I believe it's the opposite, split those up across different lots so that you can attract people who don't like Wes Anderson too.

What is this? self-control? [emoji14]

I've managed to find some myself, especially considering how many i remember I don't have that I intended on getting last sale. I still bought over what I wanted though. Didn't even get the Before Trilogy(probably in Nov.) and I still want to get two Eclipse sets.

Happy with my B&N 50% haul:



Scored this earlier in the week for less than $12 including the $5 in Amazon Pantry credit, Prime Card 5% and free shipping:

I just placed a Barnes & Noble order for...

Stalker
L'Argent
Ugetsu
The Exterminating Angel

Code Unknown is temporarily out of stock at Barnes & Noble online, otherwise I would have ordered it. Bah.

Exactly! Otherwise, I might be living in a van down by the river or on a strict diet of KD or both!

[evilive]

Picked up Lone Wolf and Cub set and Ghost World. Both blind buys.

Hoping to make another trip soon.

I think Ghost World is going to be one of my blind buys this time around as well.

[captainron_howdy]

Grabbed today:
War Trilogy (blu)
L'argent
Identification of a woman
Andrei Rublev(cause who knows when the blu is coming)
Next:
Stalker

Not to interrupt the sale chat (I'm heading over there after work!), but it sounds like Night of the Living Dead is confirmed for October... so, whatever happened to Freaks? Seems like that one has been on the way for a really long time. I was hoping it'd be out this year. Any word?

That's a really good question. I didn't think there were any good source materials to warrant a blu of Freaks though.

Sell them on E-Bay as an auction. If you list them as a buy-it-now, you're limiting yourself to that amount. With auctions, you could end up with people getting into bidding wars that push the price up much higher. If you're concerned about not getting full value for them you can always have a reserve price.

I think that was title speculated when there was talk of a pre-code film in the works. Baby Face was another one. As far as I know, they didn't get past the rumored stage.

Buy it now is good, just don't do best offer. Dependends on the rarity of the item & the chance of it selling. Do your homework first & check completed listings
