20-70 dollars on ebay


The dvd for this is going for at least 20 dollars, some listed closer to 70! Even the VHS is going for like 10 bucks.... Is it cause its so rare to find? I love this movie, saw it when i was a kid and then about a year ago latenight on tbs. I wanted to buy it so my grlfriend could watch it with me, thinking id snag it on ebay for 5 bucks... Cant believe what a commodity its become!

You can rent/buy it on VUDU or Amazon On Demand starting at $3 for rent.

I was fortunate to find a VHS copy of it on amazon for like $5 a couple of years ago. The DVD was out of print even then.

It's kind of a minor "cult" film and the fact that the DVD didn't stay in print long made it even more collectible. Unfortunately the DVD isn't anamorphic so on a widescreen it doesn't fit the screen properly (it's windowboxed - all 4 sides have black bars).

This is a long-time favorite of mine and I'll never forget how, after owning a decrepit VHS for what seemed like forever, I sacked up and paid close to $20 to own the film on DVD years ago. Weeks after the fact I saw it in an FYE bin for $2.99. I about $hit. I walked away vexed, crestfallen, and nursing an enormous bruise on my collector's ego. The smart thing to do would have been to buy it and just about break even by selling it online.

Ah well.

You can get it used from Amazon.com for under $5.00.

I think I paid $20 for my copy from Ebay, but id say its worth it.

I don't know the history of this movie being released on dvd, but I'm sure it didnt see a large production run to be getting such high prices now. If its gets rereleased im sure the prices would drop fast.

Did anyone really pay $70 for this, or is it just listed at $70? Sorting by Sold category is useful for checking this. Anyone can list anything for any price on Ebay, but that has no relation to whether people will actually buy at that price or not. I could go put my copy on Ebay for $1000, but that doesnt mean its worth that much.
