[cyberlian]

In light of all of the blockbuster credit everyone has been accumulating, and the way some of us go to a lot of pawn shops and such... I thought we should start a list of rare dvd's, rare as being defined as a single movie that goes for $30 or more market value...
(not box sets unless they have a unusally high value)

here's one that goes for over $100

I found mallrats today for $5 and I finally found the receipt where I traded swamp thing in at gamerush, so now that I know which gamerush I traded it in at... hopefully I can pick it back up...

I've been trying to find "Urgh! A Music War" for years. It is very rare and usually goes for over $50. Everytime somebody tries to sell a bootleg on Ebay, they get shut down before the auction ends. I'm not sure it was ever released on DVD, I think it's only VHS.

[quote name='Kaijufan']King Kong vs Godzilla is going for more then $40 at Amazon. I bought it for $5.
Its a really horrible version too. Its fullscreen with a mono soundtrack.[/quote]

I had no idea at all this was out of print plus actually worth the price of a new game now. I also got mine for 5 bucks and I agree it looks like crap.

I tracked down my copy of swamp thing today, (not due to any help from the employees, I called that same gr an hour earlier and they said that they had never had a copy of it), to my plesant surprise, my dvd had duplicated and there were two copies for $9.99 each...
