    I've got the OOP Barrel versions of Nekromantik 1 and 2. I paid around 12 dollars each for them and now they can fetch anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars.

    I'm definitely a bargain hunter, I think the most I ever dropped on a DVD would be 50 for the Coffin Joe box set.

    WOW, that's nice to here. I have Nekromantik, Schramm, The Bukowski Tapes, and Last House On Dead End Street. (all are Barrel releases)

    I also have the No Shame release of Almost Human (I love this flick) which I would think is worth a bit since No Shame went under a year or so ago.

    Single movie or box set?

    If single movie and you are referring to what one paid for it and not its current value, I pay $50 several years ago on Ebay for the first print of ZOMBIE, because it was considered OOP (Out of Print) and I didn't know at the time that MOST movies would be released again, in which this was less than a year later for $10 in stores/online and it was generally the exact same thing with a few changes. (Even the cover was basically the same!)

    That ticked me off, but I learned never to do that again!

    As for boxed sets, probably each of the original runs of the X-Files for $100 each season, or Star Trek: TNG for the same, with Band of Brothers a close second.

    When I first started buying DVD's I was burnt a couple times this way. I've made it a rule to never pay more than 50 bucks for any movie. If you are patient and can utilize ebay, half.com, etc, you'll find a deal eventually.

    Things like the Complete "Babylon 5" "SG-1", "SG-A" and "Farscape" DVD box sets all cost me around £75-£100 a pop.

    Paid for a few £25's or there abouts for DVD sets like "Dawn Ultimate", "Bladerunner 5 disc set in tin" etc.

    Looking to replace my complete BSG series DVD's with the Blu-Ray version soon (just got my first Blu Ray player).

    I have a 1985 VHS copy of Night of the Living Dead. I don't know how much that would be though.

    Just guessing based on size and amount of discs, it'd have to be my Evil Dead Ultimate Edition. I also have an original Dawn VHS, back when they were made with some weight in the cassette tape. I could probably back over it with the car and it would survive. No I don't wanna do that.

    I've also got a Dawn VHS that must weigh as much as a baby. It was released shortly after it's theatrical run. I don't feel like digging through my VHS' to find it, but it's got Dawn Of The Dead written on the side in dark green font, the shell case itself is white, and the cover slip in the case is this:

Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    Yeah I got mine for free actually some time during 1997. I was living in a small town in Texas, had a friend who worked at a mom and pop video store.
    They had a back room full of older stuff that couldn't take up any more space on the shelves so he let me rummage through it all. I found two copies of Dawn. I took the one in better shape of the two.

    Fulci, your signature with that picture of Fulci reminds me quite a bit of the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World".

    I hardly ever buy any DVD's or Blu-Ray's. In fact, I don't ever buy DVD's at all anymore. It seems pointless to by an older format when I can eventually get it on blu-ray.

    Just about any movie ever made I want to watch I can "find" to watch (ahem) anyway, so seems silly to spend money on it when it's not necessary.

    And I still give the good folks over at Netflix $10 bucks a month to rent as well.
