Sometimes, you get burned. I regret selling my Pinocchio DVD about a year ago... I assumed that the SE would hit DVD sooner.
But my re-sales of Casablanca, GWTW, Blazing Saddles, and North by Northwest were aptly timed. I just sold The Wizard of Oz, as well... I'm more or less fine with that since I'd rather see the film in Ultra Resolution next.
However, some chances are not worth taking. I almost sold my five Image Entertainment Chaplins, but I was worried about City Lights not including the Carl Davis re-score. Thanks to problems with the PAL conversions, I have some really valuable DVD's that I won't get rid of. Same thing for the Criterion version of Notorious. Sure, I can get a lot of money for it, but why? So I can buy the eventual MGM/Sony edition with no extras and a low bitrate image?
There's also the problem with people taking your bait... I tried re-selling my 8-disc Universal Horror box set in anticipation of the Legacy sets, but no one wanted to buy it... even reduced to $130. Can't really blame them since the 6 Legacy sets plus the upcoming Phantom '43 re-issue is cheaper and more of a value (9 films in the original box set, almost 3 dozen among the Legacy sets).
