Everyone I know sees new releases via Netflix or sometimes at our second run theater. For older films, or actually buying DVDs, I'm seeing more and more surfacing at our local used bookstores. Our indie music store downtown has more space devoted to DVDs than CDs. All good trends in my opinion. I se...

Ebay is a squirrelly site....they'll end your auctions if you get ANY complaint, and won't bother validating, they're just paranoid. I understand a better place to sell books/music/DVDs is ebay's non collectible site, Half.com. But since they've forced everyone to use PayPal (reminds me of "papal") ...

I am very interested in trading. Unfortunately, I think my DVD collection is pretty pedestrian compared to those offered here.

Wednesday Night Out

OK, I'll stick my neck out.....anyone want to have a "pre-party" Wednesday night? We can meet in the hotel lobby or at Dinosaur BBQ and then go a few blocks into Armory Square for a trip to Soundgarden. Soundgarden is Syracuse's independent music store that has an excellent movie section. Used DVDs ...
