And I'm still looking for another Thor copy and I'll probably buy another one for 60 GBP. FOR MYSELF.

I don't see how I'm going to make a profit on that one, do you? No, probably not...

F.e. I have also 3 copies of Gran Torino, 2 Chronicle + 1 coming and 2 of J. Edgar (French release).

And I do that only with movies I really like, that are the only ones I have double.

And I have pre-ordered 2 to trade. F.e. against FS exclusives.

Brilliant. Except this makes no sense. You've pre-ordered seven steelbooks of Iron Man. From the original seller. Taking away from genuine sales of people who only want one copy. I don't care if you bought Thor three times over on eBay. The point is no matter how you spin it, you have detracted from people who wanted to buy a copy of this. You say you don't see how your making a profit because your spending your money of Blu-rays...they ARE your profit. Your trading them for other Blu-rays. You are gaining something out of them. Ordering two to sell or trade is stopping people who wanted to buy a copy for themselves from doing so, as is having two spares. How is this hard to understand

(P.S. In the last week, I ordered ONE copy of Thor for £25 (Amazon Marketplace), ONE copy of Cap for £25 (eBay), ONE copy of Incredible Hulk, ONE copy of Predator, and then pre-ordered ONE copy of Iron Man, ONE copy of Iron Man 2 and ONE copy of Terminator. Why the hell do you need seven copies of Iron Man, then?)
