Why is the DVD SO expensive?


Just been pleased to see The Christmas Box is out on DVD but as a feature with Timepiece. I was looking to buy this for Christmas but can't justify (or afford) the $144 (cheapest) price!

Have to go buy the VHS.

I recorded it from the Inspiration channel this year. I haven't seen it in several years, and didn't know when it would be on again. I have no idea why they don't re-release it on DVD. I've never seen Timepiece, but would like to!

where have you looked? I got it several years ago on Amazon for $5.99.

If it's that expensive on Amazon, as well, I imagine it's because it hasn't been on the market in a while (in retail), and maybe there are a limited number out there. Supply and demand. Although, even then, $144 for a DVD - even for a two-movie one - is incredibly unrealistic.

Crap, I just looked it up on Amazon.com for my own curiosity and noticed the price for the double feature set is $138.95 NEW and $48.49 USED

I'm glad I got it when I did for $5.99 (not online). The reason it's so expensive is because the DVD is Out-Of-Print/Rare.

I see the 6-movie "Christmas Classics Collection" on amazon, but it is currently unavailable. It's not even offered on ebay currently. Harumph!!

I'm watching it on HULU for free. (Well, free with the subscription.)

It was OK but not the best Christmas movie ever.

I could seeing buying the DVD in the bargain bin or for less than $5 used on amazon but not the $50 I saw on eBay.

I know it's crazy isn't it? I got it in a bundle of movies on Christianbook.com It came in a tin box with two DVDs. Each one had 3 movies on it. This was one of them. I got it last year. I can't remember the cost but it was maybe $12.

still have on on VHS, and really glad I kept my VCR's.
