Quoted from Yesh23:I did realize this was probably a long shot but I was hoping to reach someone in a rural community that’s into the physical media or doesn’t have a great high speed connection to make streaming possible. I’ve updated the listing with pictures of the movies and I under estimated how many were up there.
I'm as much a fan of a long shot as anyone, and I appreciate the effort. But I think the problem is you are WAY overestimating the value by saying you want a Stern pro in trade. Taking a quick glance at the pics you posted, it looks like the vast majority are DVD and they simply aren't worth much. Honestly, you are probably talking an average of $1-2 each. You might want to set your sights on an EM or early SS, or a project of some variety. But saying trade for a $5k+ machine is what is rubbing people wrong. Or if you really only want a Stern pro in return, you should be expecting to put in $4k or so cash into the deal. Trust me, my huge collection of movies wishes this wasn't reality, but it is. Hell, if I had all the money back I spent on them over the years, I could have at least 3-4 NIB pros. But if I ever sold them I know I'd be lucky to get a Sys11 back out of them.
Either way, this has gotten some decent discussion of physical media going, so there's that. I almost feel like we need a fan club topic. Would be fun to see people share their rare, obscure, or just fun movie releases.
