They carry just enough mainstream titles to keep up with demand, then sell them off keeping one copy when the demand delines....to make more room for the wide range of foreign and other specialty titles.

If a film is available and noteworthy in some way (and not priced ridiculously high), they will actually buy it if I request it.

They are also involved in some other interesting thing. Twice this year they sponsored a local amateur short film festival. When the videos are submitted they screen them for the community at a local theater, then make a DVD which is a free rental at the store.
