question, do you go to actual stores or do you just buy online on amazon/ebay? Ive always been confused as to why people actually go to stores for dvds?

@packedentertainment2866 Күн бұрын

@@Haleyncasey bro what? Do you just not go to stores to shop for anything? Or is it just DVDs that you feel aren’t worth the trip to go somewhere for them?

@Haleyncasey Күн бұрын

@@packedentertainment2866 there are a lot of things that make more sense to buy at a store rather than online - some obvious ones like food and clothes. dvds, Im not sure why you would go shopping for when buying and searching for specific movies and shows is so much easier online. You could literally spend like a couple of hours just searching for lets say five movies/shows youre trying to buy on dvd at different stores (and likely not finding anything!) vs. taking like 10-20 mins online just comparing different prices/shipping. So I do find it interesting that people actually shop for dvds- especially people that collect movies/shows thats more than just the current mainstream/most popular stuff.

My husband and I have a pretty good size dvd collection probably 100-200 if I had to guess. However my uncle passed away 1yr ago and I choose to inherit his dvd collect, which is about 2,000 😮. They’re currently in boxes, but I’m so excited to have them out one day. He was single, never married, and no children so that’s what he spent money on. I have a dream of potently opening a video rental store one day and being able to share them with others who also miss renting actual movies. ❤

Wow! Its great that you have those to remember him by! I once found so many awesome movies/tv shows at a library bookstore and it seemed like they all came from one owner who had very specific taste in horror/thriller/BBC detective things. The older ladies that run the place said it was an older man who passed and his family were cleaning out his home.

i work at a thrift store and am always amazed at the little treasures i find in the CD and DVD sections, unfortunately because i work there i can’t shop there so i’m always really excited when other people find and buy them. side note but working at a thrift store where i’m not allowed to shop has really helped with my scarcity mindset when it comes to thrifting… guys there will ALWAYS be another version of the thing you find second hand, if you can’t get it right now don’t fear you will be able to find it again

@patricktaylor2733 Ай бұрын

I've been collecting physical media since 1988. I've got more movies now than i even have the storage space for anymore but i don't care because nothing beats owning your own physical copies of your favorite films. It's refreshing to finally see someone who still buys DVDs and isn't a Blu-ray/4k only collector. The Cave and Cursed are both faves of mine. I've honestly never heard of Talk to Me but i might check it out.

@Meowlo 2 ай бұрын

The delayed gratification comment is so true. I've been trying to build up my book library with older editions by thrifting more than buying them for a markup on something like pango...and when I manage to hunt one down, it feels like such an accomplishment.

Right. You never know when something will leave a streaming service and not reappear. I have plenty of movies and shows that aren't available on any and haven't been for a long time. Also sometimes the version streaming isn't the same as the one available on dvd. Due to inability to get rights to music or censorship.

I've always been a fan of physical media, back when I was in college in like 2011 I started transitioning my DVD collection into a Blu Ray collection - that was the one thing I allowed myself to collect as a broke college student... I made it a game of trying to get them for $10 or less. Now I'm super happy to have my collection, especially during periods of time when I couldn't afford internet.

Fun video idea, I'd watch more of these! Hunting for second hand media (mostly books for me) is one of my favorite things to do on weekends when I don't have plans. DVDs/Blurays that I'm working on collecting are all the seasons of Buffy, X Files and Bob's Burgers. It is just too expensive to have all the streaming services every month and most of my Hulu watching was just rewatching which feels silly to pay a subscription for each month.
