Hello james i agree collecting dvds is the way to go more titles to chose frome because dvds have been going longer than blurays so more films to chose and its cheaper on the wallet lol great finds and gd video😅😅😅😅😅

Blu ray does have better picture but being so cheap couldnt resist

Jake Busey is the actor from Starship Troopers. Spitting image of his dad.

[@MovieMad1]

Ah thats where i know him from

[@popcornandhorror]

Great value there mate 👍🏻 I recently traded in my copy of thief on blu ray as it traded for crazy money considering I only paid £6 on ebay for it and it wasn't a favourite for me.

[@MovieMad1]

not seen it so dvd will do for now, i have suspicion I might have traded it but cant be sure.

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

a lot of my recent movie purchases have been from charity shops along with facebook marketplace and pawn stores

[@MovieMad1]

always good to build a collection

[@johnnycarrotheid]

Discs are so cheap, a collection can be done for very little.
Depends what shops are local though.
Some charity shops are selling things for daft prices

[@MovieMad1]

Agreed some are unreasonable

[@Graphicxtras1]

yes but it is a slow way of doing it if you are interested in slightly more unusual films on bluray etc as I doubt if I will see too many Italian SF or Horror films in my local charity shop (maybe lucky). I have bought a lot of decent blurays and dvds from my local charity stores, sometimes 20 or so films for a £1 though a few duplicates sneak in when you are buying that kind of thing. Prefer blurays but happy with DVDs for many films as well

[@MovieMad1]

check out my charity megahaul video found some decent stuff on that one! yep dvd have there place but you want best quality at cost vs value for money.

[@Graphicxtras1]

@@MovieMad1 Yes, you can find lots in the charity stores, one of the best in my area is MADM one but not so many unusual ones, just the regular SF / horror / thriller stuff but at always decent prices (four for a pound but sometimes up to 10 or 20)

[@RandallStevenson]

Of course you can build a collection from thrift stores/charity shops,

[@MovieMad1]

hopefully a decent one

[@bushmanblu426]

I still enjoy getting dvds and to be honest, ive seen worse Blu-rays when it come to picture quality, Also when it comes to Cex, they have gone greedy now as they have no competition, At one time they would give you more than Game but they don't sell movies now, also they are losing your custom as if they only give you £1 for a movie that they then sell for £4, you just sell it online for £2, you double your money and someone gets it £2 cheaper lol.

[@MovieMad1]

I have sold a few things on ebay lately but there fees make it often not worth the hassle.

[@Graphicxtras1]

I agree, the prices in CEX are occasionally weird where you can easily find the DVD or bluray online for a lot cheaper (sometimes even new) but have found quite a few OOP disks for not excessive prices as well. Only annoyance for me is that they take the disks out and then re-insert them on purchase and that can be a variable experience depending on if someone is eating their lunch.

@@Graphicxtras1 Noticed today that Aliens 4K and True Lies are both £30 and they are only £25 new so how mad is that for pricing. I picked up the special edition of Johnny Guitar for only £12, they have it listed the same as the regular release so there prices are mad, the special edition sells for over £50 on Ebay.
