Anyone else collect media? Books, CDs, DVDs?
I didn't really plan on taking my collections seriously until I opened a seller account on Amazon. Turns out I have some rare, out-of-print items that are worth some money & in high demand. COOL!!! Share some of your high priced collectables here... |

Some of the DVDs I have were high priced, until they got re released.
I have the House On Sorority Row DVD from Image Entertainment that was listed on Amazon for over $80, until Code Red re released it, and then Scorpion re re released it. A lot of the Code Red titles I have jumped up in price weeks after their releases- Nightmare(30th Anniversary)I've seen for $99 on Amazon. Night Of The Demon ('80) up to $60. One of the rarest DVDs I have is Attack Of The Beast Creatures(which was sold for a very short time through the director) The Phantasm Sphere Complete Collection on Amazon $150 to $250. I also have the signed and numbered Phantasm Laserdisc Box Set. I have the early 80's horror flick Eyes of Fire on Laser, haven't seen it very often online for sale. Some rare VHS- The Meateater, Savage Water, Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout, Massacre At Central High, The Icebox Murders, Silent Madness(3D version). |

Damn. $5000 for a book? I figured it would actually be worth more, considering. Good for you though man. That's awesome.
He was actually doing a book signing a few hours away from where I was staying in Florida, but I had to work. |

He's also got a version of Firestarter bound in asbestos, and there's also one for Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451....not sure what they're worth.
