I still have my old Pioneer CLD-D703 LaserDisc player and a couple dozen laser discs. I haven't played any of the discs in a few years now. If there's a market for this stuff, I may end up selling it all.Anyone know what old laser disc titles sell for these days?
(BTW, one cool thing about laser discs is that as far as I know, there is no MacroVision copy protection. I've made several backup copies to VHS tape directly from the LaserDisc player w/o any problems).
Follow Ups:
Look on Ebay. I bought a never-opened copy of "Jurrasic Park" for $5.00 However, some titles do get expensive. Please contact me off list if you would like to discuss this further.
I have 900 laserdiscs and 600 DVDs. When I get a DVD title that I have on LD I sell the LD to an outfit in Maine for $2-3 a disc. Unlike LPs, LDs will never become collector's items because DVDs ARE superior whereas CDs STILL don't sound as good as LPs played on a high end system.I play the LDs on a Pioneer CLD-79, which has output for Dolby Digital 5.1. And DD from an LD sounds better than DD from a DVD because of the greter real estate on an LD.
Technically, ld's may not be as good as a dvd, but I cannot tell the difference, and I have a Sony WEGA hd tv. In fact, other than the size and I have to flip the ld, I prefer ld's.
