Like I said, happens to pretty much all these big boxes if you wait long enough.

As I've mentioned previously on this or another thread, my experience is that patience pays off with these big expensive boxed sets... I put the item in the "saved for later" section of my Amazon cart. Checking the cart periodically, I see any price changes for whatever I have stored there...

What you said was how often you think things sat unsold: "Days... weeks... months" which is a subjective opinion. I made several simple statements of fact that at every turn I have gotten far more money than the trade in credit. And we clearly were both talking about trade-in vs sell in...

Ditto to you re the marketplace option that is just as easy and pays more.

Ron, I've been to the site, I've read their policy pages and I know how it works. You're reacting as if I was denigrating the integrity of the entire company. What looks dicey for me is the fact that they tell you they do not guarantee the price they offer for the trade in, which is among the...

OMG I saw it on HBO several times and had already experienced a couple Bergman movies, thought it was funny, and then I caught onto what they were saying and it was even funnier. Naked romp in the beginning: "Inga! Komen Heren!" He falls on the way: "Yesus Kriesty!" Madeline offers cigar to...

I was working on something at Warners and George Coe was in it. It was a long shoot and I cornered him to ask about The Dove. He said he had made a deal for it to be on some DVD of shorts, and I think I've seen it listed somewhere but hard to find.

Apparently none on any movies i wanted... And i can't tell you how tired of Maltin I'm getting, especially when he is forced on us like in cartoon sets...

What kind of tape? Remember one circa 76 I think it's called The Tennis Lesson? A guy alone with a ball throwing machine and a recorded instructor...

I have noticed Warners including shorts and cartoons for years on DVD, but they haven't, as far as I know, ever offered the option to play through them in sequence... until now. I don't believe Warners included things like Filmack's famous dancing hot dogs, or "Let's all go to the Lobby" like...

So you really don't get money almost instantly, you have to wait until they get it, then you only get a credit, which, in my experience, is always much less than I get by selling it. And when I sell something, I get paid as soon as i print the label. What's dicey is, if you read the...

What I referred to with Disney was only a couple of special editions like I think Parent Trap and Polyanna, where you, if you found it in the menu, could play the movie and cartoon together. This is not to be confused with their "autoplay" thing where the disc just plays all the stuff on it...

Has anyone here tried this new Casablanca with the Warner Night at the Movies Feature?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever actually traded in anything with Amazon? I just checked out the details and it's a pretty dicey process. They don't even guarantee the listed credit.

Since I have actually been selling things, no I wouldn't be surprised. Again you would be surprised what stuff actually goes for. And if one is not out for instant gratification, one can hold for a certain price and eventually get it. Want to sell quickly, just undercut the others. Don't...

They list them in the same place as Amazon merchants, with a much higher markup. Compared to the merchant deal it's just a ripoff. After years of successful merchant sales (of just stuff I occasionally sell off when I want new stuff) I wouldn't even consider the trade-in. It's like they give...

Well you'd be surprised how quickly they can sell, you can control that by the pricing, and it's well worth it, where I find their trade-in prices are SO LOW, it's practically giving the item away. Often I have the original sold before the new one ships. We're not talking about pennies here...

Something I find of great interest in this edition has not been mentioned here... Being very fond of old-school movie showmanship, and hating how much movies are handled and presented as software today, particularly in the authoring/programming of DVDs, I have long wished for more releases that...

I'll leave that answer to RAH. I can say that such prints were not automatically/mechanically run-off at high speed like a Xerox machine, (or modern wide-release prints) and the process included things like timing.

I understand that your Astor is a hell of a theatre, and most of us, even in big cities like LA have nothing like it for seeing vintage films.

Trusting Mr. Harris as my system is quite nice but not extreme enough for the differences he mentions to matter. Re Amazon, trade-ins do not yield the financial benefit of getting a (free) Amazon merchant account and simply listing an item for sale. I keep my discs in as close to pristine...

Hear! Hear! Absolutely. Care to list those theatres?

Actually that's not always true. Roadshow films (at least in the major cities) made prints directly from the OCN, which is why the more popular the movie, the worse shape the negs are, for the amount of use. Back when I was in somewhat closer proximity to such things, I learned that, and that...
