I own the Marvel Phase One briefcase set, and I got it autographed by Stan Lee in 2016. That is by far the most valuable piece of my collection
heh,i dont collect crappy movies
Ill give you $5 for it.
@@bigben9056 I feel like the MCU lost its mojo. I only like a select few. I think most are overr6and not very good but nonetheless there pretty good to binge when bored
That's awesome bro, Ive seen that collection sell for over 1500 dollars! There might be some DC fanboys in here lol
@@bigben9056 I bet there's some far shittier movies in your collection than phase one marvel.
What I love about physical media is that everyone has their own completely unique collection. Not only are the films within the collection different depending on each person's tastes, but the versions of each film. Seeing your Halloween films there; I've got a steelbook of 1, Scream slipcover of 2 & 3, regular American versions of 4 & 5 (but customized with the addition of the bonus disc from the Scream boxset) and the version of 6 from the boxset. It's my own bespoke collection of Halloween based on what I wanted to get and there's something very satisfying about that.
Nailed it my friend
Yeah ur right, we dont buy to sell. We buy bcuz we love our physical copies.
Kepano 808HI reported
I do both!
@@thedarknate08 yeah if I see a out of print dvd or blu ray for a good price I'll get it and sell it to my local small business get some profit. Then just get some blu Ray's and save some money for later.
@@Dreyz-pg2zz yeah its just finding places to sell them where you can make a profit!
RIGHT ON!!!
One of things i like about this channel is the quick introduction.
He gives a breif preview of what the video is about and then his channel credit is quick.
God i hate those you tube content creators that have a 5 minute channel credit and i minute of actual content.
I am also primarily Blu-ray but I still have a DVD release of a very difficult movie to find - Disney’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. I think Disney regretted ever producing this one even though I find it fantastic.
I have the original vhs of this.
I have that one on DVD and really enjoy it
I found it for 9.45 almost instantly
Wow! Cool to see! I’ll have to be on the lookout. People bring Blu-ray’s into the shop occasionally and I never even look at them 😅
As you mentioned earlier that you collect vinyls, maybe make some episodes about that also. Would love that.
I concur.
Me too
I never looked up my vinyls even after 40 years there still not worth that much.
The plural of vinyl is vinyl.
@Stephen thank you
Thanks Jeff. I remember watching Romero's Dawn of the Dead at my friend's house on his parents' front projection screen (like the one Lex Luther had in Superman the Movie) in the early 80's when we were in junior high school. I remember thinking what a unique, bizarre and funny film this was. I especially liked the scenes showing the chaos and breakdown of civilization in the beginning of the movie with the ominous bass heavy soundtrack in the background.
There is a new Zatoichi blu-ray box set in print from Criterion, but the box set that you have is out of print and it is larger and different in some way, perhaps because it has both DVD and blu-Ray? I can’t remember exactly.
As you probably know the UK label Second Sight are doing both a separate 4K and Blu-ray set for Dawn Of The Dead
Yeah I heard it was put back at the start of the year, bloody October though.
Hadn't heard, thanks for the info.
My most valuable bluray is probably my Breaking Bad barrel.
Picked it up for $90 last year at an FYE and I love it
sound cool
@@Petersonmgee I’m seeing $170+ on eBay
I got that Jason tin set for $50 on sale at Best Buy a few years back on a Black Friday. Didn’t know it was worth so much.
311mikey same hahaha
It wasn’t worth tht much back then now it is lol
@@OfficialUknow Since the Scream Factory box set came out, I’ve seen these sets (granted, unwrapped) sell for like $60-70 on eBay so I don’t even know how much it’s worth anymore.
I find the Scream Factory slips to be very flimsy and absolute magnets for shelf wear. Often they do t survive retail without getting chewed up. I remove all the slips, throw them in a box in the closet, and the discs look better than they did with them on. It’s a real shame.
I'm quite proud that most of my purchases are limited editions. Not necessarily expensive boxset, but slip covers are often limited, sometimes booklets or reversable covers, bonus discs etc. Lots of releases are limited and it is quite satisfying owning them due to the fact that you have it, you don't need to worry about missing out in future.
I’m so upset at myself for getting rid of my blu rays a couple years back. I fell into the “Digital” trap 😤
There is always time to come back to the right side of things!
Wow gotta keep them especially now
I know. I just got the original Star Wars trilogy on digital because I don't have a VCR for my VHS copies.
thats bad news
i have this too, I want to sell mine
I picked up a sealed unsolved mysteries ultimate collection(the one from from 2006) 7 years ago for 100 dollars. It’s now going for 1300.00 sealed on amazon. I never got around to opening it, my girlfriend suggested opening it and watching some during this quarantine period, I was extremely quick to shut her down. Had to explain to her why. Funny this video comes out a few days later.
That is a steal. I would love to watch that, I don't know how you resist not wanting to open up the box. Old school Robert Stack is the bomb.
I realize this video is a year old but I wanted to thank you! Watching this video I recognized that Zatoichi box set. My younger brother bought one at launch and we had no idea it was sought after.
Godzilla vs Biollante is another blu-ray that became really expensive. I'm glad I bought that one when it came out.
I had to order in a Dutch DVD in order to watch it legally. I had to download an English SRT, but it worked okay.
Lucky I only have the dvd
Probably Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, The Bruce Lee box set from Criterion, The Little Mermaid OOP Mondo Steelbook, and the Toy Story complete series Maori import.
Only thing I've got is Dogma on Blu-Ray. Matt Damon is my favorite actor and I made it a point to own all of his movies.
(I have like 200 films in my collection not just Dogma, that's just the only one worth anything)
I have been collecting blu-rays for over 10 years now including the rare blu-rays from Disney you can only get from their Disney Movie Club. I have approximately 1,640 blu-rays in my collection. Won't do digital. Physical media is the only way for me. My most valuable, not in terms of cost but in sentimental value, is the Star Wars Trillogy - (Original Theatrical Version, not Special Edition) on blu-ray. Thanks For Sharing Your Collection! Long Live Physical Media!!!!
You should pay attention to announcements and rumors about rereleases, because if a movie is rereleased, the old disc often loses value (because demand goes down). My Twilight Time edition of Leave Her to Heaven was worth around $90 until it was released by Criterion. So you do need to know when to sell. Collecting movies isn’t the best investment, because the number that increase in value are greatly outnumbered by the ones that only drop in value as they sit on your shelf collecting dust. The good thing about a movie collection is that you can watch and enjoy them.
There is a small collectible niche, but, it's hard to predict what titles will be worth $$$. 2 big things that make a title worth some big money is when a title goes out of print or when a title is recalled by the studio. Great example of an out of print title is the Friday the 13th box set shown in this video. The studio usually doesn't announce the title going OOP & you gotta scramble to try & get your hands on a copy at the MSRP. What's a bigger deal than a title going OOP is when a title is recalled by the studio. This can happen for a number of reasons. Three cases that come to mind is Little Shop Of Horrors, This Is Spinal Tap, & the Wes Craven film Swamp Thing. Little Shop, & Spinal Tap were released on blu-ray w/o the directors consent & when this happens, the director of each film filed a junction w/ the studio, making the studios recall all copies. This causes any purchased copies to become instant collectibles. The case w/ Swamp Thing was MGM used a European interpositive of the movie, when they pressed the film on DVD. The problem was nudity in the film (boob shots), The U.S. print had no nudity & was rated PG. Once a soccer mom complained to Blockbuster Video about the movie, Blockbuster sent an email to MGM/UA & got the title pulled from shelves. Be forewarned that the studios can fix all of these issues & re-release the titles at a future date.
My James Bond 25 movie blu-ray collection is my most valuable movie collection. Love it!
You should do a video on how you store your DVDs and Blu Ray... Blind swordsman sounds interesting... Wasn't there a movie of that with Rutger Howard?
Always keep a lookout for a reasonably priced Blu-Ray at garage sales and thrift stores to buy so you can upgrade your DVD copy to a better format...👌🏼💯✔
If you all want to play the "collector as investor" game, you've got to get into vinyl, it's the only physical media where the margins are worth it and the return is much more predictable.
Yeah you can flip in a pre corona world if you live near swap meets or flea markets. but it is not something to invest in with long term purchases.
@@glyn420 This is false. Ever since Discogs unified the global marketplace for vinyl, you dont have to stand in the sun anymore. I had 2 pieces last year that I bought for 100 and sold for 600. Both were opened, non mint and I enjoyed them for 2 years before a sale. Plenty of opportunities out there.
Chris C what the hell
Are you talking about? What you said has nothing to do with what I said.
So glad to see others that still love their physical media like I do. I leaned some good info from this video. Thanks!
I guess it depends which part of the world u live in. Some of these titles are avaialble in shelves here in Australia. I guess it has to rights and distribution from country to country
I purchased a movie awhile back on DVD, named "Quiet Cool", and now out of print, fetching for 5x more than I paid for it.
I like your video. You are correct, as you never know what the fluctuating prices will be, and who will pay top dollar.
I own The Dark Knight on Blu-ray. One time, I saw it selling upwards to $15. To get that much money on it, I might sell mine too. Then I could use the money to buy Cats on Blu-ray. 🥳
Cats is trash
Herschel Gordon Lewis Feast from Arrow is one of the coolest releases from them and the price is pretty up there as well.
Bird and the crystal plumage also. Very high prices for the special edition
I have a couple of those Sleep-A-Way Camp movies on dvd! I ALWAYS also buy the Target Exclusives bluray/dvd of the Marvel/DC, Star Wars, and other special edition movies!!
Hey dude, been watching since 3,000. First time writing in but just wanted to say that I love your content and I'm really proud to see how this channel has grown.
One thing with ebay,can't expect what u see sold by one person..so many times I'll see something sell for a good amount of $ then when I list ,I can't get half..
You can put it on for a BuyItNow and wait, or you can list at an auction and hope to get a bidding war, not guaranteed though - if you want to get a fixed price you need to do BuyItNow and wait...
I have a Friday the 13th complete set that comes with his mask that goes for 175-200 and I got it for $20 when it came out. Great display piece on my movie shelves.
just saw that black friday collection at second hand media store yesterday for $99. might be making a trip back there lol
I own the Friday the 13th black tin bluray collection and my only misgiving about it is that it does not have the unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell on disc.
@@chadbrick67 I held onto my unrated DVD of Jason Goes to Hell. Has the uncut version gotten a blu-ray release anywhere else in the world?
The alfred Hitchcock house collection box set is my most valuable
I have a bluray/dvd combo pack of a movie called zaat. I payed like $10 for it and I guess it's very rare/opp and goes for like $100 or more. It's really cool finding gems in your collection.
Wow, I just bought the ESPN 30 for 30 collection back in the beginning of March for 48 bucks on eBay now it's going for over 100! Glad I grabbed it!
Horror, Pro Wrestling and Anime are the ones I have found that really go up in value. I have some sets/singles/doubles that are easily worth over $75 a piece.
O yeah horror. I have a the beyond DVD metal box set. Has mini poster cards in different languages. I paid like 10 bucks back in the early 2000s.now it's worth around 150 bucks.
Mine would be the Japanese Kill Bill dvd, fully uncensored with the full colour House Of Blue Leaves fight.
My most expensive boxset is The Wonderful Worlds of Ray Harryhausen volume 2 by Indicator, I bought it on release and now it’s fetching big money with collectors.
I have Bride of Re-Animator limited edition, Chucky Complete Collection, Creepshow 2 limited edition, Exorcist 40th Anniversary, Friday the 13th collection tin, Halloween complete collection, Hellraiser Scarlet Box, Hills Have Eyes limited edition, House the 4 movie collection, Nightbreed limited edition, Re-Animator limited edition, Resident Evil collection ammo box Best Buy exclusive, just to name a few.
I bought the Infinity Saga box set for like $550 , now it’s selling for like $3,500.
Thts crazy lol
One thing I've noticed with Scream Factory blus is that the SEQUELS are the ones that are the most rare. So, Slumber Party Massacre isn't super rare, but the set of 2 & 3 are really expensive. So, that is something I'm keeping my eyes on going forward.
Well done for making this video it was very helpful of understanding the blurays of their values and not to mention boxset editions or limited editions like you also mentioned in the video that's why I love collecting collectors edition cause not only are they rare but as most of us do know that they can be worth a lot too.
No idea Dawn of the Dead was worth that much. I think I got mine for like $7 several years ago.
I think rarity is the biggest factor. Therefore the limited editions from boutique outlets like Arrow, Shout/Scream Factory, and Anchor Bay have the most potential to be worth more if/when they are out of print. I believe Criterion Collection movies can also easily appreciate value.
The Hellraiser box set not only holds some value due to it be limited, but also because up until that release there was no official bluray of Hell On Earth in the US. They were all imports or bootlegs. I purchased that set for this reason alone.
Totally random, but check out the value of Willow with the slipcover.
In the hundreds for something that originally cost, at most, $15 when it was first pressed.
Nice video - do more!
So true, I don’t buy movies for the purpose of making money down the road. I buy them because I like the design/special editions that will look great in my collection and to show off.
I buy them to watch n enjoy,at my leisure
Pretty sure I got that Hellraiser set and Bride of Re-Animator at Newbury Comics for a decent price within the last few years. Also got the Friday the 13th Collection when that first came out. Do you have the Halloween collection from Shout/Scream Factory? I have that as well and it looks like the price has gone up. Like you, and I assume most people, I don't collect this stuff to sell it off, but it is nice to know some of them have some value.
Weird. Today at my local Walmart I actually seen sleepaway camp for 10 dollars. No slipcover tho
The slipcover is what makes it so rare. They only ship with the 1st batch of movies released & aren't reproduced.
@@Crunch_Buttsteak I know. I was remarking about the coincidence of seeing it today
Wish I could find that Walmart!
@@brianbeach4215 No you don't know & I had to come in here & school you on sum knowledge.........alright alright just kiddin have a good one
This is only important when I'm dead lol my future grand kids could see my collection to a museum. Hopefully they are cool enough to keep them
The live stream was dope jeff! Congratulations for 30k subs and all the winners!
Thank you Mr Stark
he is like the coolest guy for doing giveaways and great content!. And I actually do enjoy his content! Im glad people still do videos on physical media!
Tony Stark I won the frozen and I couldn’t get it cause I ain’t in America
Congrats on 30K! I love your channel, and you’ve really helped me with/inspired me to start collecting.
I sold the Korean special edition of The Good, The Bad, The Weird for $250 on ebay and the guy was like "Thanks for the deal." haha
I have the Sleepaway Camp movies with slip covers and that is awesome to know that they have some value. Interesting video!
man ive been buying the arrow hellraiser movies individually i didnt even know they made that box set
The most valuable Blu-ray in my collection is actually a box set. The Scream Factory Friday The 13th set. Whenever there's a convention in my area involving Kane Hodder, I might try to ask him to sign it. (At one point, this set was worth $400. It's worth like $100 now. Not gonna even think of selling it.
I don't have anything mind-blowing, but I have a lot of movies whose price has risen 2-4X (or more) due to going out of print. Examples:
_-The Ringu Collection_ Arrow Video box set. Bought it for about $60 brand new when it came out. Now, used copies are selling for $120-$150 on Amazon/Ebay.
_-Solid Metal Nightmares: The Films of Shinya Tsukamoto_ Arrow Video box set. Bought it for $75 last year, and it's already gone up to $150+ on sites like Amazon and Ebay.
_-Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Collection_ box set. Bought it for $65 new back in 2015. Now, it seems to sell for anywhere between $120-$200 on average based on Ebay and Amazon listings.
-The _Phantasm Sphere Collection_ that came out a while back. I think I paid like $75 for it? And now it's going for $150+ on Ebay.
-Some of my out-of-print Shout! Factory titles (Ex. _Species II, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Poltergeist II/III,_ etc.) that I got for $20-$25 new are now selling for $100+ used apiece online depending on the site and seller. I've even seen one or two of my titles listed for as high as $200.
-I also have the Scream Factory _Halloween_ Deluxe Box Set, which I paid less than $80 for literally right before it went out of print. I've routinely seen it listed for $300-$500+ now. However, my box came scuffed up pretty bad, and the copy of _Halloween H20_ was damaged and won't play properly, so I think mine wouldn't go for that much. I'm sure I could sell the remaining films for a decent profit, though. (Not that I would. I don't plan on selling any of these, since I bought them specifically to own them. Maybe if a better edition comes out down the line...) I did end up getting a stand-alone Blu-Ray of _H20_ just so I had all the movies, but it's still a little annoying since it doesn't have all the extra content from the Scream Factory disc.
Dawn of the dead 4K probably around oct nov from second sight
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard but things are getting delayed
Films At Home I know it’s killing me dude, but we waited this long so what’s another few months? Great video man!
Love your observations and the fact there are still people collecting DVDs. I'm fortunate to have a couple of friends who are also into it. I do get some good natured ribbing due to collecting the old anaglyph blue/red DVDs, and yes, a few video tapes. Some look great, others...well. Goodwill's one of my favorite hunting spots.
DVD is still the mainstream format. It still has 70% of the market.
I used to have a huge dvd collection then I started buying blurays but not near as much......now I only purchase 4k but I could probably count the 4k on both hands.
I dont have the drive to find movie collecting a hobby anymore.
I think part of it is.... there is sooo much to watch and I only have so much time. Streaming has gotten pretty good with the visual quality and sound quality and Im ok with that.
I do appreciate this cats knowledge and reviews though..👍
It looks like the Criterion Zatoichi dusk format edition is OOP but not the Blu-day only edition, which is currently unavailable while Criterion prints more copies. Also, Dawn of the Dead is having a stacked LE released from Second Sight this year :)
Probably the most valuable piece in my collection is a beautiful Hayao Miyazaki Blu Ray collection that was Amazon exclusive. There are a bunch of counterfeits on eBay for $50-$60 but a real/authentic one has become very hard to find and seems to sell for a few hundred.
My most valuable items is my Woody Allen Blu Ray Collection with every film of his that ever came out in the U.S, then my Hellraiser Scarlett Set, and my recent Django (1966) Arrow set that was never officially released in America due to blue underground
The value of a rare Blu ray does not necessarily go down if the movie gets re released. To a rabid collector, a limited release is still a limited release and I find the value is very much retained.
For the box sets, do arrow video sell the movies individually?
Yeah it seems they do, plus if you're in the UK you can still get a Hellraiser box set for a good price: store.hmv.com/store/film-tv/blu-ray/hellraiser-trilogy
For the film's themselves, they always release a more "Vanilla" set after their limited edition, however sometimes they won't contain the physical extras / bonus discs.
In the case of the Hellraiser Trilogy box set, there are two editions: the 3 Disc Trilogy edition linked above, which you can still manage to get on eBay for around £25 brand new, or the limited, much rarer 4 Disc "Scarlet" Box Set edition, which goes for £100+ now...
...I myself have a copy of the Trilogy Box Set, and that houses 3 different Keep Cases, one for each film, which are the versions you can also purchase separately.
The Scarlet Edition, comes with a 200 page hardback book, 5 art cards, Pinhead badge and poster as well as a 4th exclusive disc which contains short films and featurettes exclusive to the limited edition.
More info on different versions can be found on dvdcompare:
www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=14375
I have the same Friday the 13th and Dawn of the Dead. Fright Night and John Carpenter’s Vampires (both Twilight Time) and Dead Alive are a few other rare ones I have.
Shout Factory also released the four Bruce Lee movies individually for a short time after the compilation set with much better transfers (4K scans and proper color correction) and even more extras. I hope Criterion will use those scans because they are beautiful.
I think at the moment my rarest thing in my collection is the hmv exclusive steelbook for Drive. But I also have a steelbook for only god forgives on the way which had a print run of only 3000
I have the 30 for 30 locker set complete with the t shirt guide and all 4 dvd cases in my room lol
My blu-ray collection isn't huge but the most valuable one I own is my BD of the anime Space Runaway Ideon. It goes for a couple hundred dollars with the highest sold listing being $550.
The Prestige 4K is another one that's hard to find.
I got it for 10 bucks
@@grayfox1975 Nice!
SHIT!
You can get it on Amazon for $39.99 shipped and sold by them, its been available for almost 2 weeks. Currently only one left though
I just found a Blu-ray copy of Dawn of the Dead (1970s) for $5 at my local Goodwill.
I need to check the value of some of my collection. I know the Trilogia de Guillermo Del Toro Criterion goes for around $200 and I have a Media Blasters Destroy All Monsters worth at least $100. I got those Bruce Lee's for $5 each at Walmart few years back and then got extras at Dollar Tree for $1 each. (No slips and gave away as gifts).
I have the French 30th anniversary steelbook of the back to the future trilogy that I had Christopher Lloyd sign when he came to Paris à few years ago. It has à huge sentimental value, but the most expensive blu rays I own are probably the UK Doctor who steelbooks (séries one is now very expensive, the cheapest I've seen it recently was 102 pounds on eBay). Series 6 just came out and I'm always afraid to miss a new set.
I’ve seen a lot of titles reach crazy high prices, and like you, I’m not looking to sell. Back in the DVD era before bluray and 4K just for example the John Hughes movies from the 80’s went thru the roof, I think at one point 16 candles was $250, but eventually they came out again on bluray and you couldn’t give the DVD away.
These days steelbooks, in particular 4K steelbooks always seem like solid buys. They often are limited and as you said, limited is the key. If it’s limited and 4K and the steelbook is one of the nicer looking ones, bang!
I have thousands of movies on DVD/BD/4K and sure, I look around and think damn that’s a lot of money, and it softens the blow if I know many of them are worth more than I paid, but you have to have a buyer willing to pay that price or it doesn’t mean much. I don’t sell movies anymore unless I upgrade the title. Back when we use to buy/sell/trade I found that eventually I’d go out and repurchase the title, so I just quit doing it.
I love every genre of film, but I am a huge horror fan. Especially 80’s slashers and anything with practical FX. Scream, Arrow, Vestron, Synapse, blue underground, Kino Lorber, vinegar syndrome, and a few more... That what I primarily spend big money on, and believe it or not a lot of the 60’s,70’s, 80’s, 90’s movies I collect from various genres come from goodwill, pawn shops, thrift stores, yard sales, flea mkts... I recase nearly everything which is suuuuper pricey, but I pick those movies up for 1-2 dollars, even $2 Blu-ray’s and I find that stores like 2nd in Charles and FYe have no idea what their movies are worth and I take pride in killing them since they gouge the heck out of people, Fye especially.
I have a room in my house that’s a dedicated movie room, like my own little rental store. I also have a music room and my CD/Vinyl collection which has also gotten out of hand.
Be careful guys because media collecting can take over your house easier than you may think. I have a very understanding wife of 25+ years and she enjoys the hunt more than anything. I’m just a huge fan of film, I collect certain directors, actors, eras and even certain labels/series.... Steelbooks, I tried to fight them off, I’m still trying but I am failing LOL.
I’m pretty selective, and you have to be. I will say I don’t just collect, I watch them. I was a huge movie theater rat pre-covid, I have a lot of free time and my collection has served me well.
Forgot to mention, I hate slip covers, like, I REALLY hate slip covers. I chunk em except for my boutique horror labels. Those I carefully compress and save in gallon zip lock bags or acid free boxes. Then when I die my wife can slide them back on to sell at a big yard sale for pennies on the dollar and I can haunt the crap out of her (she’s been warned). LMAO
Also check for live music DVDs and such even VHS. Example 1 : SLAYER "LIVE INTRUSION" wicked pricey and
Man, I wish I nabbed that Hellraiser set back when it came out.
I have found an original DVD of Dawn of the dead. To me, physical media will always be valuable to me.
Do you know what August Underground snuff edition (signed by cast and crew ) would be worth? Probably one the rarer dvds I have. Never see it on ebay.
I probably blew upwards of $15,000 on my old Laserdisc collection. The vast majority of them are worthless except for a few box sets and some Japanese imports. I have one HD Laserdisc (called HI-Vision) that could very well be valuable in I put it up on Ebay. The players that require HD discs to play sell for a pretty penny, and were only manufactured in Japan.
Cool videos you got. 😎
Got invaders from Mars on Blu-ray in my collection
Iv got the guardians steelbook and the hellraiser box set, didn’t realise they were worth so much
Also hard to find: The Prestige 4K slip cover, Thor Ragnarok 4K slip cover, Kong Skull island Best Buy exclusive Steelbook
I'm with you, Jeff. My most beloved boxed Bluray (and out of print) sets that grace my living room book shelf - yes, among some great books - for display because it's packaging is so great. Hitchcock Collection (2012), Kubrick Collection (2011), Bond 50 (2012), Star Wars Saga (2011) to which I've included the last three film's blurays for a true ennead (9) of films (it had 3 slots for bonus which I've moved to it's own custom case).
The Jaws 4K steel book seems to fetch pretty good money too.
Friday the 13th set is awesome! I found it on eBay for $113 a few months ago. Also got ahold of the 15 disc Halloween collection for 85 on amazon a few years ago!
Can't forget about the Halloween 10 BD box set.
I sold a Drive Future shop Exclusive slip cover for 100 bucks. Just the slip cover, I didn't want to sale it but needed some money at the time. Anybody that collects Slip covers knows how hard that slip was to get.
I also have quite a few I havent mentioned that either are out of print and/or have no bluray or 4k release.
Any marvel/comic book steelbook or special edition or country variation is always something that goes for a decent amount on the resale market. It’s the safe investment everytime.
I also have a couple of valuable blu-rays/dvds since they went out of print pretty quickly...... Sometimes they do get re-released but most of them are left in the dust.
Very cool video! I just found and bought my most valuable film on Facebook Marketplace. I bought “Dogma” on Blu-ray factory sealed for $5.00! I’m planning on flipping it to buy other movies.
Super deal you found! Happy collecting.
What about Apocalypto? I’ve heard that is worth money...
That’s cos Mel Gibson said jews caused every war and Warner bros pulled it 😂
I found it on a video game store for $8 dollars.. 👌
@Rodimus Prime lol they rereleased the blu ray.
So true about the horror..I have Evil dead 2 for laser disk with the red disk…paid $40 back in 1997 and now going for $250
