Just tossed these discs

Well, I needed to make some room, so I got rid of the following discs.
It's not worth my time selling them on ebay for .50 cents. There were
a few others I can't remember, and after doing the math, they were
worth like $750 conservatively. Man, I'm depressed!


A Few Good Men ws
Animal House
Backdraft ws
Born On the Fourth of July ws
Dream Is Alive IMAX
Eddie Murphy Raw
Glory ws
He Said She Said ws
JFK ws
Schindler's List ws
Star Trek IV ws
Star Trek VI ws
Short Cuts ws
Speed ws 5.1
Splash ws
Stand by Me

I would have liked these two discs.

I know that this question may be pointless if you had already destroyed these
discs, but I figure that it's worth asking anyways.

Do you still have them for sale, and for how much? - Reinhart

If $750 is not worth your time, then why didnt you offer to give them away
to anyone who would pay shipping etc..?

I believe he means that he paid about $750 originally when you add up
the MSRPs, not that they're still worth $750 on the used market. At
current prices, he'd probably get around $70 for the lot.

Maybe I'm cheap - but $70 would be worth it to me. $70 is enough to buy myself
a few new DVDs or even one or two of the smaller boxsets I'm looking at. It's
almost enough to buy the Band Of Brothers and BattleStar Gallactica boxsets I
want.

Yes, I still have those. How can I get a hold of you?

Yes, I had originally payed big $, (compared to today's prices) and
have no interest in trying to get $1 or so each for these on ebay.
$70 for the lot? Of course I would.

And I didn't offer anyone here the discs because I figured they were
pretty common films. If anyone wants 'em, make me an offer!

I would be interested in the lot. Please email me and let's talk.

If you're going to trash them anyway - I might be interested in paying the
packing and shipping costs for the whole lot. If you're looking for a better
offer than that it'll need to come from elsewhere.

You could also list them as a lot on eBay. Start at $9.99, you'll see
bids coming for sure. Maybe someone next door will be glad to come and
pick them up so you won't even have to pack them.

I would like to have "Stand By Me". I've passed a few times on buying a
dvd of it, and if I had the laser, I would never buy the dvd.

As for "12 Angry Men," this is the Henry Fonda version and not the Tony Danza
version, yes?

Thank you. - Reinhart
