Author Topic: What Are Used Laserdisks Worth Fred Georges Master Film Handler Posts: 257 From: Lombard, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 09-16-2005 09:55 PM                     "Geez Fred.... You must have a warehouse for all those!! Even my 220 some take up alot of space....." I have boxes & boxes of them in climate controlled storage. Gee..And when I started I thought How well i was doing space wise vs. film. Tell ya though, with my last players (pioneer LD-S2 & Cld-97) the quality of the video on the last Discs made was superb & the audio definetly Better than DVD but, time marches on.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-17-2005 12:23 AM                        Here are the LaserDiscs I own: -Raiders of the Lost Ark -Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition - Dolby Digital -Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation -Speed - Dolby Digital -The Nightmare Before Christmas - DTS -Titanic - DTS -Crimson Tide - Dolby Digital -True Lies - DTS -Saving Private Ryan - Dolby Digital -Gate to the Mind's Eye - DTS -Super Speedway (IMAX) - DTS -Jackie Chan's First Strike - Dolby Digital -Toy Story - DTS -Aladdin -Seven - DTS -Braveheart - Dolby Digital -Jurassic Park - DTS -Beauty and the Beast -Super Cop - Dolby Digital I'd be willing to sell them.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-17-2005 12:35 AM                  Joe, IF I had that shitty collection of films on ANY format, I'd sell them too...or perhaps give them to a Katrina charity. The ONLY LaserDisc I had rot was "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" and wound up and threw it away over the hillside. I only have about 150 LD and many are of the show content and checkdiscs of the ridefilms I did.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-17-2005 02:45 AM                     Joe, that "Gate to the Mind's Eye" is an excellent LD - how much? Like, I tagged this Pioneer CLD-D503 from a thrift store with these 10 LD's for 35 bucks last year (sans remote control), and the thing was in practically new condition.. This was one of Pioneer's better LD/CD players, manufactured in 1994. Unit reads both sides of the disc without flipping the disc over...has an inner tray that comes out of the main tray to load audio CDs. Lucky strike for me on this one... - Monte  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-17-2005 03:28 AM                        How does $12 (that includes shipping) sound? Also please be aware that this is not BEYOND the Mind's Eye and requires DTS. You can PM or e-mail me with address/whatever. Also, how do I mail a LaserDisc? I haven't seen any perfectly square large envelopes. Big box? Phil, isn't any LaserDisc collection a shitty collection?  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-17-2005 09:03 AM                 Joe’ It’s a box just slightly bigger than the laserdisc itself, more like a pizza box, although this is not a pizza, however if you have last weeks pizza send it along, no just Kidding. So get the whole idea about the sized box for shipping. Mind you I like that “TITANIC DTS THX LASERDISC” since I don’t have a check book sending a postal order over seas for conversion to the same US moneys, I haven’t brought a Laserdisc from over seas in around 6 years….. Mark’ When I click on Email, I get (United Message) the snag is where the hell, is the send button, I can send via (MSN) where the send button stands out easier, so any suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-17-2005 09:26 AM                     quote: Mark Gulbrandsen 6660 POSTS AND I STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT NOT POSTING MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITHIN A POST Oh come on Brad, you're just no fun we awere all going to post some voiolation of some sort to make this the "Most Violated" thread in F-T history!!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-17-2005 04:11 PM                     ..I've sent a bunch of 12 inch vinyls back to NY in a large Pizza box with no problems - just pack the box well with crumpled newspapers to cushion the vinyl covers and your set. Thx, Joe on the info. Nope, don't have DTS capability with this LD player of mine so I'll have to turn that one down but thx anywho, even though I have all THREE "..Mind's Eye" videos on VHS. thx-monte  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-17-2005 04:49 PM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer I've sent a bunch of 12 inch vinyls back to NY in a large Pizza box with no problems - just pack the box well with crumpled newspapers to cushion the vinyl covers and your set.

Course, he had a two year old boy who was inqusitive as hell: .. little turd was shoving pennies in the rear vent of the unit thinking it was a vending machine to listen to music. Obviously, some of the pennies landed on the main circuit board and blew out some of the copper strips on the board. I had to dissassemble the unit, take out the circuit board and make quite a bit of jumpers using 26g wire and solder these jumpers in the areas that the strips were blown out. Got his unit back online and told my friend to place that unit somewhere else so his boy wouldn't be tempted to place pennies in the rear vents again. Or, peanut butter in a VCR...we could touch that one as well..but one can figure out that one easy enough without me telling.... -Monte  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-18-2005 02:58 AM                  Monte, that reminds me of the time waaaay back in the late 70's when my U-Matic tape deck stopped working... When I opened it up to see what was wrong, I discovered a ground-up "Milk-Bone" dog treat in the mechanism. It seemed my 5 y/o daughter, who knew she wasn't to feed our dog treats, shoved them thru the tape trap door and hid them there when she was about to be caught.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-18-2005 09:53 AM                 LOL that’s fucking funny a vending machine LOL Yeah short circuit “JONNY 5 IS ALIVE”!!!!!!!!LOL Monte’ have you any more funny tails to tell us vending machine oh dear….LOL  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-18-2005 04:42 PM                        Isn't any LaserDisc player capable of digital output for the sound capable of DTS? I believe so. I think the DTS just outright replaces the linear PCM audio tracks (leaving the analog ones intact). You just need a DTS receiver, that's all.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-18-2005 06:16 PM                 Joe’ That is correct just a simple stand alone one like the Millennium DTS 2/4/6, I have one myself imported from the USA, though I don’t use it any more but she’s just fine sat under the multi-mode PAL / NTSC 4.43Mhz 4.48Mhz SONY. Why are you looking for a DTS decoder…? ________________________________________________________________ Mark’ I’m still stuffed how you go about placing an image on this site, the rules which I read the other night, man why can’t it just be as simple as paste highlight as image post 98% of the other forums sites do this. I'm close to swinging from the chandler, on this one…. This is not cool, though I must be messing that one piece of information that will make it doable? JPG..? Yeah I can see that on the end of it sure, the thing is I’ve sent my own images to MSN where I can post them on other site with no problems at all. Wait a moment, would I have to delete the words MSN at the beginning of it and replace it with Film-Tech, this is really frustrating and it’s not funny. Yeah time to swing from the chandler…!  |  IP: Logged
