Question for movie collectors

I want to know if it's normal to pay like 30,40$ for a out of print criterion movie? I find it really expensive for only one movie, but I can't really find the movies for less.

Exemple The Third Man, Le Trou, Dead Ringers, etc.

thanks

I don't know about the others but I have 3 copies of The Third Man on videotape, all picked up in thrift stores for a buck or 2. It is not rare.

I talk about DVD or Blu Ray lol

If you want to pay that amount for them go ahead, I would hold out and look at thrift shops. I have a movie on VHS that I love, thay never put it on DVD. I was looking for it on DVD online and saw that VHS copies are selling for around $40 on eBay. I think I paid 50 cents for it at a thrift shop.

I don't know is there are Thrift shops where I live, but I'll check

I know someone who paid 180 for an out of print copy of The Third Man Criterion Blu-ray. They're from Denmark so I'm not sure if that is US dollars or Euros or whatever.

cuz they are usually worth it

Download The Third Man and Le Trou (1960) as a torrent on Piratebay, etc.

Dead Ringers is available on Youtube.

It's also not technically answering the question, anyway.

Last time I purchased any of these they were about $20. If they aren't available for (legal) streaming/download then I'd say there's nothing abnormal. It's just supply/demand. Sometimes I run into books which I can only find used for $100+. The sellers know I can't simply but it for $10 from B&N or AMZN.

I saw that the other night, too. Pretty funny.

When I think about it I almost like the fact that criterion products are that expensive. It shows us that they care about what they do and that they are paying their employees with a respectable salary.
