Is there any place that still sells Laserdisc players? (1 Viewer)

I'll have a DVL-919 for sale again if the guy sends it back to me... :frowning:

I read your other thread on this. You're still going to refund the guy's money and take back the player, even though it works perfectly fine?

Even though it's no longer really made, Pioneer still lists the DVL-919 on their site:

For all of $1000. Because it still can be bought new. But I've seen it around on the net for much less than that.

Players are getting insanely cheaper than they used to be. Like others said, I'd look for a credible seller of a CLD-D704 for $150 to $250 -or- a CLD-97 or LD-S2 for about $500. You can spend more and do better, but this is great performance for the dollar. It was a fun format and I still collect discs, though it's admittingly tough at times to watch a number of titles with the great upconverting dvd players out there like the Toshiba HD-A1 and the Oppos. It'll be tempting and addicting for a little while to buy up any disc in sight as cheap as they are now, so be careful. Unless you can invest in an excellent player as mentioned in the thread, you may be slightly disappointed in the video on a HDTV or large front projection screen. The analog video is a look some love and others hate, particularly after watching sharper dvds through component or dvi/hdmi.

I would stay away, it can be an addiction. I have a CLD-99 myself with about 300 discs. Basically I can't go to ebay or I will get myself in trouble.

Talk about eBay. There's somebody selling a Pioneer 72-disc megachanger (size of a bookcase), but it's untested, and the photo shows it only has a few of the caddies in it. For $500, I don't think it's worth while.
