If you can still get them new then they won't have gone up in value yet yeah. It depends on if they are still being produced.

again not really if HMV smashed the market and the company is failing they wont necessarily go up in value
sure a lot have but its not every single one and far from it and even the rarities like the raid are nwo settling at around ?25 - ?30 when they were probably hitting ?50 just after release
I've got loads of OOP DVD's I paid say ?15 for - kinda lucky right now if I get 25p for one and they arnt being produced anymore
no one should go into this thinking every one will make a profit or say at the price that was paid because its just not true
I did buy 2 skyfall's but one for was my bond 50 set and I sold the tin case for what I paid for it effectivelyLast edited by buster_broon; 19-03-2013, 11:13.

I've currently only got 6 films that have really gone above the price I initially paid for them...
Raid
Alien Quad
Thor
Cap America
Terminator
Super 8
Everything else really is just hovering around what I paid for them & Super 8 is only worth much more because of the ridiculous low price I paid for it.
I have never been under the illusion that I'll be making money on any of these & tbf I'm still shocked that the Marvel titles have gone on to the ridiculous levels that they seem to reach these days.
I paid around retail for my Batman Best Buy titles (?16 each delivered) & those are the only others that really might creep up in price in the collection these days, oh & probably Zombie Flesh Eaters.
I doubt anything else is worth more than I paid & in fact Akira seems to have lost almost all it's value & is regularly ?10 or under these days.

Again it was never really my intention to make on them, just looked better at the time than the standard Amray & at almost the same cost so made sense to just order them instead.

I wasn't quite sure of the prices of some of my steelbooks and when I had to make money for my divorce everything went up for sale
gutted I sold my captain America and thor and knowing how much ive made so far there are a few things I wish I hadn't sold
recently bought rampart and priest from HMV for ?12 the pair, managed to get a couple of others but always hoped when I walked into HMV in Glasgow they had just found a box of thor's and captain America's
the only other one I regret selling was Shogun Assassin - but I made a profit on that so cant complainLast edited by buster_broon; 19-03-2013, 12:01.

I go into my local (which is now actually closing for good) & hope that there are some Thors & Cap's on the shelf but nope just a small mountain of Rampart & Safehouse.
They did find a few more Priest though which are on the shelf & also if anyone needs them there are a few Hunger Games & Dark Knight Rises if anyone need them

Will double check Safehouse for you as my local still had it marked up at ?25 but worst case is if they want that stupid amount I got my one from the massive out of town store for less than that but I can't remember without looking at the receipt & you can have that plus postage if you like?
Hunger Games & DKR were still full price though & not sure if they are reduced under the blue cross.
Will keep you posted

A lot of it would involve second guessing the popularity of the film against the likely produced number of copies going to be made. Play was fairly easy to guess and Zavvi hasn't been too bad. I find Amazon trickier to guess but it depends on what you're into I guess. Golden rule is... if Iron Man 3 gets a steelbook, buy it

Obviously, in most cases, the more popular films are going to sell out quicker.
Stuff like Akira, which is probably quite a niche title despite being one of the more famous anime films, never sold out and you can still get the steelbook new online, so it's not worth much. They probably over estimated demand for the film there.
