Was looking on ebay the other week at 70's tv series and found that man about the house the movie sells for around the £25 mark. Was tempted to put mine on there to make a nice profit as I bought mine a good 5/6 year ago from play.com for around £6.
Just wondered if other members have any dvd's on their shelves that could be worth a small fortune?

Also, before the re release, The High Life was pretty rare and I found a site in Australia selling them. I bought up 10 and sold them on amazon for £85 each.
I did the same with a job lot from CDWow for a fiver apiece IIRC. My best price for one copy was £99.
Sold loads of rare stuff over the years with my top prices being for a couple of anime sets that went for £400 and £500 each. Recently bought more than a hundred copies of a DVD for 75p each that sells steadily for £50. For obvious reasons I cannot say what it is!*:D
Beauty and the Beast SE UK release (2002) with red 'book' packaging
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition R1 (2001) Rare - was very pleased when I got a genuine one
Sergio Leone 'Dollars' Wooden Box Limited Edition (Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More) - Very Rare (think only 5000 were made).
well that got me curious so I had a look at ebay and checked the highest priced dvds , there's a Father Ted series one R2 for £450 !
and yet its available new at amazon for £5 .
what gives ?
Seriously?? I own that!
I have many dvd's , mainly from the US that are listed on Amazon for anything between £30 to over £100.
I've been selling off my BFI titles over the last 2-3 years once they hit the £40 mark so its gratifying they are being reissued now.
I sold several deleted Dr Who dvd's for between £20 and £40 each to unsuspecting buyers who didn't know the reason the titles were deleted was because they were due to be reissued.
Had both of these, sold snow white for £63 and Beauty and the beast for £71

its a fiver on amazon!:
It is on Amazon.
there's hundreds of pages of dvds on ebay priced at over £90 , and they're obviously not rare , I don't get it
Yeah, there were many boots of the Snow White set floating around apparently
I gave up in the end.
Play would often remove sellers but they came back again .
Nobody seemed to find it odd that a seller would have a rare deleted title thats been unavailable for several years new and sealed in multiple numbers for cheap prices.
Snow White was far from being alone.
Always R1 though .
I can't recall exactly but I wonder if it was because the US discs never had the hologram on the covers
The dvd isn't.
As it was passed uncut several years ago its not important anymore.
Its just another dull movie pushed into the spotlight by the morons who instigated the Video Nasty rubbish
Many of the nasties are now uncut in the UK on dvd and at least one film that was banned and then re-released with cuts is now an uncut 15- Contamination.
Still cut are I Spit On your Grave and House On the Edge of the Park although nowhere near as badly as they used to be.
Just as they were over a decade ago both are available uncut from the US and Europe.
New York Ripper is still cut but as that got kicked out of the country without a video release in 1982 its not an official nasty
i have Japanese Kill Bill 1 & 2 Box sets uncut wit hatori hanzo sword, t shirt, bear etc...
i have evil dead book of the dead as the actual book.
i have all original releases of Friends that when put together make up the new york skyline.
I think the way to tell if Snow White was genuine was to look at the numbers round the ring in the middle.
scrap that!
