LaserDiscs in D/FW, Texas


It is our intention to keep a complete, updated log of all the places to buy and sell LaserDiscs around the D/FW Metroplex and our personal experiences with them...
We will see how it goes...
Each entry will include the store name, a general location, phone number, price range, notes and comments, as well as pics (as we take them) so that you can see for yourself the size of the selection... And we will add any other helpful things, such as any info pages the store may have online...

we have seen several Criterions and box sets here, though, again, they are priced high... many discs you find for 4 or 5 dollars elsewhere are 10 here... just about anything Disney starts at $20, no matter how basic...
but, they also always seem to have something new in...

half-price books does not give quotes, you have to take what you want to sell and get an offer... BUT, we talked one person into giving SOME info... according to them, they give 40% of what they will sell it for... may or may not be true or even useful if it is...

map/website
huge selection (over 1,000)...
prices above are for 1 disc/2 discs/3 discs...
also, check the store price tag, which will have either the movie title or the word "clearance", which means $4...

5/4/03 - called and was quoted buying prices of $1-$1.50 per disc... (also said avg. $5 for dvds...)

5/14/03 - hmmm, the guy in the shop says they buy per unit... $1 for one disc, $1.50 for two discs, $2.00 for three discs... we went elsewhere...

Movie Trading Company
Beltline

$4/$7/$10/$13 pic

map/website
huge selection (over 1,000)...
prices above are for 1 disc/2 discs/3 discs/4 or more discs...
larger sets are iffy, apparently... for instance, they had the Toy Story Deluxe CAV 4-disc box set, with no price... we asked the manager and he said $40, but, when we came back a few days later and asked someone else, he said $16!!

5/14/03 - buying at $1 per disc...
the guy said that if we had bought them there, had a receipt and it had been less than 30 days, he gives full refund, no questions asked... (and this was the store manager...)
also, if you trade, you are not charged sales tax...
(also, they buy dvds at anywhere from $3-$10 per unit...)

5/15/03 - they just got a large collection in... looked to be over a hundred more... we got some great stuff, but, in the half hour or so we were there, there were also two other people getting the good stuff...

they have 100 or so, but, it seems to be less every time we go as if they stopped buying them...
