used DVDs? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

FitFortDanga · 12-29-2000, 09:45 PM

I'm looking for good places to buy used DVDs. Online, chain stores, or local to Portland Oregon. Here's what I've found so far:

Django's (local store): poor selection of used titles, overpriced

Electronic Boutique: poor selection, not very good prices

Babbages: absolutely PATHETIC selection

Wherehouse: decent selection, but overpriced.

Pawn shops: the few that I've checked didn't have ANY.

Blockbuster: haven't looked yet.

There's also a place in Lake Oswego (where I work) that has a fair selection, but I forgot the name of it. Just bought Saving Private Ryan there for $15.

Does anyone know good places to look?

Blockbuster is a good place, especially when you hit them at the right time -- times when they put $3 off their pre-viewed selection. I got Sleepy Hollow for $7. Generally can get pre-viewed for $10-$15. Their prices for new discs isn't too special, though.

I personally haven't seen much in the way of used DVD in B&M stores besides the rental chains, but then again, I don't spend much time in B&M stores.

Yeah, I just got Pee Wee's Big Adventure at Blockbuster for $15. You can get it for $13 new online, but when you consider shipping costs, it's pretty much the same (and I get to see it tonight

). I went to Hollywood Video also and their prices were just disgusting.

If anyone's in the Portland area, I also checked out CD & Game Exchange on SE 36th and Hawthorne. Decent selection, fair prices.

Like I said, this really belongs in the Bargain area.
