I sold a few I regretted buying recently - the two Underworlds, the two Fantastic Fours, some of the older James Bond movies, Condemned, and Doomsday. I liked them alright, but didnt know when I would ever rewatch them...sold them off, then with that money bought titles I knew I'd watch more often and liked more - Baraka, Gran Torino, Planet of the Apes, Ice Age, and Spaceballs.

I bought those first ones before I started Netflixing last year. My MO now is to Netflix titles I'm unsure of first so I dont have another "Condemned" blind buy incident,

It looks fantastic. But that's no reason for me to keep a title on BR. Besides, I already have Crank for that, and that one has a little more appeal to me,

Oh come on!

The Condemned wasn't a masterpiece, but as far as WWE films go it was no The Marine either.

Same reason they'd sell anything else, cause they don't want those titles anymore. D'oh !

I say thats the big reason along with the needing money thing.

You make more money selling them to people than going to Moviestop where they give you $4 cash for a BR movie. Then they turn around and sell it for $24

Like many hobbies, people are getting rid of what they don't want to get stuff they do want.
