LD have FEW that will bring a $100 or a $50 every now and then but they are few
and far between. Going rate on bulk collection purchases tend to be well under
$2 a movie these days.
80's obscure titles and horror is where the little money is at. Also DTS disks
bring a premium. The last few discs released also bring a premium as there
were far fewer pressed. Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, stuff from 1999 time period.
Word was all of the authoring machines are no more, so there is zero chance of
laserdisc making any kind of come back like vinyl has.

Subject: [MOPO] Laserdiscs
Dear Mopos -
I just came across what appears to be a well-curated collection of laser discs.
Good titles - boxed sets - noticed Japanese discs - some still sealed -
including what I was told by the collector was the best laserdisc machine.
Before I commit to handling the collection, I wondered what the status of
laserdisc collecting was at present.
Has the VHS craze seeped into the world of laserdiscs?
Any Mopos out there collect these - or is there some kind of marketplace - or
site with titles and values, etc.?
I always thought laserdiscs were cool but never have found only a few here and
there and no machine to play them.
Any laserdisc specialists in the audience?
Thanks.
