suchuwato Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 LaserDiscs do suffer from disc rot more than CDs, especially early ones as the layers were bonded incorrectly or with the wrong adhesive, so it's worth checking them out before selling. As far as I know $20 for a mint condition disc is about right, obviously varies depending on the rarity. I know someone who might be interested, so I'll get back to you tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyBandsMustDie Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 There is a store in town that still has a few used laser disc's for sale, but for the life of my I don't remember what they charge. All I could find on their website was > THIS < so maybe $85/3 = ~$28 for StarWars I would also look around e-bay if you have no checked yet.

Andrewr05 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) umm.. aren't those those giant CD looking things? I think I saw one of those once. Where'd you find those relics?Yes they are Record sized video discs that came out before DVD and were competing with DVD for a bit. I work for my brother in laws trash company we do clean outs (cleaning out garages, attics, basements, etc) and regular rubbish routes and today I struck gold (potentially). I found these LD's, a crap load of old video games (Intellivision, Atari, NES) a Samsung flatscreen (that I've yet to try out) and 2 wireless routers (NETGEAR WGR614 v5 and a NETGEAR FM114P, assumed to be working) Are you replying to the the laserdiscs from the early 80's?YESAs far as I know $20 for a mint condition disc is about right, obviously varies depending on the rarity. I know someone who might be interested, so I'll get back to you tomorrow $20 seems to be the norm so far.If that guy is in the UK unless he wants to pay hefty shipping then don't bother All I could find on their website was > THIS < so maybe $85/3 = ~$28 for StarWarsHopefully its more, I believe it is the original version (as I stated above) before he decided to make anymore.It is just titled Star Wars...
