Code Red Blu-ray Discussion Thread (RIP Bill "Bananaman" Olsen)

[s7e]

Bill, I have asked like 3 times if you had a copy of JOE SPINELL'S THE UNDERTAKER. I was going to order 4-5 DVDs and was waiting for you to reply.

Unfortunately it would probably result like the Atari documentary Game Over. People would hear about this immense cache of Code Red and attempt to dig it up. Suddenly there would be an unprecedented demand for these lost films. But if he could make some of his investment back selling the story rights, I guess it could be worse.

I never said random, but one inventory entry on cartel and he can list the 20 movies in the bundle is an easier option than putting them all up.

I wonder how much it's costing him in storage fees to NOT sell people copies of Necromancy?

I did a 5 for $19.99 pack bundle 3 years ago. got about 7 USA customers and 2 canadian customers. one canadian said " never got the package" and 2 of USA customer complain about lack of hits in the bundle and posting the 5 pack was a rip-off. These are dvd that couldn't sell at bestbuys (yes, code red in bestbuys) or fry electronics and couldn't cut the mustard.

We already know that the stuff in the vaults never sold and will never sell. Code Red was available at Best Buy and never sold. So, I suggest a huge bonfire with Banana Man feeding the flames with thousands of unsold discs. It would make for an epic video and have Banana Man grab the Necromancy BDs at the end and toss them right on the flames.

A huge fire would end storage costs and requests from annoying customers who would like to buy product. Just burn it all Bill...no reason to keep paying storage costs. Unless you enjoy being a MEGA hoarder???

Who?

If there were some cheaper bundles of some Code Red and Scorpion titles, I would gladly grab Alley Cat, American Nightmare, The Carpenter, Teen Lust etc.

not going to sell 4 titles that worth more than $20 each in a bundle for $5 -$4 each.

I want to get rid of titles one or two people requested that sold bad. VELVET TRAP or CHALLENGE THE DRAGON is a title one or two people requested that sold so poor. DVD that I got 500 sitting.

[mdaniels]

Bill, really sorry for your current situation, and I hope you get it all sorted!

If you happen to come across a copy of Sole Survivor while going through things I would happily buy it from you! Better you than a random scalper.

Are you saying they're worth more than $20 because of the work that went into them? Because DVDs haven't been worth $20 a pop since about 2004. I bet if you sold DVD bundles of 3, 4 or 5 titles, letting people choose the ones they want, for about $12-15 each, you'd have a lot less storage units to pay for

Then dispose of them. Stop paying storage container costs. No reason that past failures need to continually add to the cost of future releases.

I check ebay and amazon. why sell it for $4/$5 for titles I don;t have more than 100. I need to get rid of titles that takes up tons of room.

[babybreese]

You just need to clear space, start somewhere.
100 here and there add up, and you can not predict which ones will move once discounted.

Then do that. Whatever titles you have the most of (Day At The Beach!) just put them up in bundles of 4 or 5 for 20 bucks, and just leave the listing up there. There are new people discovering Code Red all the time and that would be a perfect way for them to "dip their toes in the water"

So, "Velvet Trap", "Challenge The Dragon", "Day At The Beach" and one or two more and you'd have your first bundle, which I would buy one of.

Last time I listed a bunch of overstock for sale for blow-out prices, sellers bought it and sold it for $40=$50. BEYOND THE DOOR comes to mind. MilesaMovies in one guy who sold it nonstop.

I posted that 2,800 DAY AT THE BEACH need to be destroyed. a wise guy name David Weaver went on a rant (as other joined in) saying you are destroying work and it's uncalled for to destroying a movie that people want to buy.

[bipbop13]

ignore the haters bill. And you really can't control who you sell to. The purpose of this is to lower your storage costs, not worry about what some schmuck re-sells them for.
