Title: Laser Discs
Post by: NES_Rules on July 06, 2007, 09:11:10 PM
I picked up some laser discs today (first time I've seen one since 7th grade) at a garage sale.  I don't know much about them and have no way to watch them, but the price was right; $1 for them all. 
Anyway, I got;
Mortal Kombat
Rapid Fire
Star Trek II
Star Trek Generations
Star Trek III
In The Army Now
Demolition Man
Beyond The Minds Eye
The Crow
Independence Day

Anyone collect these or know what they're worth?

I picked up some CED Videodisc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CED_Videodisc)s at a garage sale, $2 for the lot.  These things weigh a ton, and I've realized I don't wanna dish out the money for a player.

Anyways, here's what I found...

The Bette Midler Show
Ghostbusters
The Great Escape (2 discs)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
An Officer and a Gentlemen (2 discs)
The Quiet Man (2 discs)
Rocky
Rocky II
Rocky III
Romancing the Stone
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Some Like it Hot
The Witness

some good, some bad movies, rapid deterioration after playback... RCA themselves estimated some 500 viewings until they're unplayable, compared to a "reasonable amount" (1000 or more)

Yup very much interested in the MK one.

If it is in good condition and your willing to go at cheaper than eBay prices(basically shipping only...) i'll take it off your hands :)

From what i have seen though LDs seem to be collectable only for certain titles.
Much like all media formats :-/

I actually thought of you as soon as I saw it.    But, I'm hanging onto them for now.  If I ever need to get rid of it, I'll let you know.
