Those nutty sellers (rant)

Misfit · 12-04-2003, 04:50 PM

I was browsing around Amazon Market Place (US site) to look for some Christmas prezzie's for me, and stumbled across some idiots listings of an out of print DVD. The lowest price is £149. The highest is $299. Out of print or not that is a disgusting price for just one d*mn DVD, God some people are such rip off morons. Just because somethng is out of print or "rare" it should give people an excuse to totally take advantage. *NO* single one DVD is worth that much.

I've also seen idiots on the market place selling non-rare, in stock, new DVDs for about twice their worth. Indiana Jones Trilogy boxset, for example, which new (in the UK) cost around £30. Yet there were people trying to pass off USED copies for $50 and up. Seriously, folks, where's the decency? Where's the logic.

Some sellers disgust me. Blegh.

It cracks me up on Ebay how much some people will charge for rare or out of print cds...I've seen them try to sell them from anywhere from $40 to the $200 range.

Personally I think its stupid to try to price something like that. Sure its no longer in production, but all it is is paper, plastic, etc. Not gold or anything.
The most I've ever paid for a cd was $20 or something...I usually don't go higher and hope I never become a hypocrite by doing other-wise.

A rare DVD? What was it? For $200 it had better have been hard-to-find!

BTW, you can say "Damn" on the forums...I think.

The DVD? It was a movie called "Lady In White" which was made originally in the late 80s. Good movie...I got the DVD when it was out for around $20. It's one of those Special Editions with some cool extra features.
