Where can I get cheap LDs?

[mikewg]

I want to get some laserdiscs or laserdisks or however you spell it. They don't need to be any particular movie, they could be blank for all I care. I figured since you guys know so much about everything else digital, maybe you'd know where I could get some at? I don't even care if they don't play, I just don't want them to have scratches or anything like that. Any suggestions where I can turn to get some inexpensive ones or a bulk order of them cheaply? Thanks!

I have never seen any "blank" laser disks for sale. You can get all you want on eBay from around $2 and up.
Search for (laserdisc,laser disc,ld).
What do you want them for?

I like to make clocks out of them for people for Christmas. Hense why I don't really care what movie it is... just that it's a movie. Problem with EBay is that even if you get a CD for $2, then it's $3-5 for shipping... might as well buy them for $5 a piece at a local store. Was kinda hoping I could find some place that sold 50 for $50 or something...

I was just about to volunteer the laserdiscs I own that I've replaced with DVDs ... until you said you want to make CLOCKS! out of them ... No one's making clocks out of my laserdiscs!! Those things cost me around US$40 a pop (and a couple more even more than that). Those things are going to the grave with me!

Wow, didn't think I'd offend someone so much! Thanks for the offer, I guess. The clocks look amazing, and such a conversation piece. It's probably the best gift you can give someone, everyone loves it.

I have seen clock`s made of 12" picture lp`s, and they look really great.

Find someone who is trying to sell their collection and but it. Exactly how many were you looking for. I know someome who might be willing to deal with you. (and where do you live (roughly). Or try eBay.

[mikewg]

Well I live in Orlando, FL. I don't quite know what I was thinking of buying them for, I guess about $2 or $3 a piece. Keep me posted or email me, mikewg@hotmail.com
