I used to go to art-film screenings a lot years ago, and saw a lot of bleh.. but a few gems now and then also, so I decided to go to a screening of this years' academy award nominated short films. I got there a smidge early, so I made a trek over to Amoeba Music and rummaged through the LaserDisc bin... WOW. Even cheaper than when I checked a year ago.. and lots of great stuff!.. all for between 1 and 2 dollars!!
I figure by estimating what these used to cost, I got about $850 worth of stuff for just around $50 .. 8>
So there ya go, kiddies... wait for a technology to fade, and then ya can really gobble up the savings... woot! (mmmmmmmm..... *slurps*... VHS, LPs and old computers.......)
