Love this idea! Do people still have yard sales? I miss appliances that work. Everything from the past 20 yrs is complete trash! Chinese trash! My parents still have the can opener from when I was a kid. That kinda never gonna break stuff. We better find it because were fixin 2b Cuba
That Disney vhs thing is a hoax. You don't have a $1000 vhs. That's a $5 vhs. No Disney vhs is worth anything unless it's rare and sealed and you might get $25 for it. Black diamond Disney vhs have little to no value. #fakenews.
You better cash in on your $1K treasure find. Because I can't imagine the demographic that collects disney dvds and pays a thousand dollars for one is going to be around for that long.
I buy at auctions and dabble in buying storage lockers. The problem with storage lockers is you need a good outlet to get rid of stuff. Either take it to a flea market or have a garage/yard sale. At my old house, it was in a prime location for traffic. People were amazed at the selection of stuff we had. Well, yeah, it's all from about 8 estate auctions and 3-4 complete small households. Now that I live rurally in the woods, I can't get the traffic. We used to have so much media, DVDs, CDs, games we couldn't sell it all. Usually, after a big sale, we would save some things like tools that we could mix into a future sale. Otherwise leftovers were dropped at Goodwill. The last accumulated pile was 2 trailer loads. We brought it to an auction and hoped to get $4-$5k for it. We got a check, minus the auction fee for a little over $10k.
Kitchenaid, bosch, Kenmore are still brands made in the usa. I go to actual appliance stores instead of big box stores like home depot and lowe's. Ge and whirlpool used to be usa bit aood thier divisions to chinese companies so even though they are made in the usa the parts and money go to and from China
I understand that but I did a lot of research recently for a purchase and can confirm kitchen aid is about 95% sourced and built in the US and kenmore and bosch are about 75-80% sourced and built in the US
Everything is made in the same China sweatshop now with different labels. I have no interest in anything new. The safety regulations also have made most appliances worthless. Ex: A hotplate that shuts itself off when it gets hot 🤦♀️
Goodwill is a great spot to find DVDs, blu rays, even undoctored VHSs. Having a copy of star wars a new hope without gungans, or ET where the police still have guns is worth the drop in visual fidelity IMHO.
Rarbg has the best movie collection. 1337x only seems good for the random movie selection they highlight that tends to have a solid movie I never would have thought to download on my own. TPB works fine when their host isn't offline. TPB has the better tv seasons collections.
It was a joke regarding TPB lol. I was just using a popular example. There's many better ones. IPT. TL. HDBits. PTO. BtN. Also yes. Then there's the open ones like Zooqle, 1337x, LimeT. RarBG. RuTracker.
Then there's NZB (General). IRC (eBooks). DCC++ (General). BB (General). DDL (eBooks). Etc. Lol.
I use an OLD powerbook and I can't even remember the name of the software I use for ripping. I'll have to look tonight. No bluray though. Drive only reads DVDs. Yes, it's that old.
My advice: Buy all your movies. Have physical collections.
98% of all media on my PC is backed up by a physical collection. LP's, CD's and DVD's.
Thrift stores and resellers are the best. None of your money goes to pedowood.

Yard sales are still a thing in my area.
Although if I'm honest, thrift stores have the best collections of DVD's and old movies.
Found a White Clam Shell, Black Diamond 101 Dalmatians VHS for $0.50 last time I went to Savers.
It's one of, if not the rarest, of the Black Diamond collection. Valued at around $6000. Sells on ebay for around $1000.
I paid 50 cents lmao
AMAZING!!! Make sure to check for bed bugs in dvd cases before taking into the house👍
Man, never thought about that. Good advice, thanks!
Thanks for that. I already feel like things are crawling all over me after visiting a thrift store. Portland area ones take this to another level.

Next you're going to tell her beanie baby collection is worthless
Gotta remember anything is only as valuable as you can find a buyer to pay for it.
Well, even if it's a hoax, I still only paid $0.50 for it lol
Pawn shops too
The pawnshop near me has four rows of floor to ceiling DVDs. Gold mine!
Down there at the pawn shop, it's only way to shop
I keep hearing this but every time I’ve gone into a pawnshop I have never seen a good deal.

I'm proud of my digital copy of Song of the South, but it's not the same.
I think we need a based side hustle network

HOLY CRAP! How awesome 💯 Glad you are safe & in a rural area now tho
Florida is a yard sale or more accurate an estate sale.

Most tools nowadays are all made by the same manufacturer with different labels and different QA/tolerance requirements. Everything is fake.

Lots of people do
Used places/thrift stores have really good deals as wel
My Advice raise a black flag and deny the elites of Hollyweird the money for the subpar garbage they put out.
Just stay off the website that is about raising the blackflag, you think this place is a glowie honeypot.
Goodwill is a great spot to find DVDs, blu rays, even undoctored VHSs. Having a copy of star wars a new hope without gungans, or ET where the police still have guns is worth the drop in visual fidelity IMHO.
And laser discs
Sure do
No it's not lol
If you think all movies are propaganda, you're a grade A conspiracy theorist. Rope it in a little.
Much of it is, I agree, but art is still a thing, and great stories can be told through this medium, same as books, music, videogames or sculpture.
What program do you use to rip DVDs to the hard drive? I have been wanting to do this for years
Pirate Bay... 😅 But seriously. AnyDVD works. Handbrake compresses. DVDDecrypter. DVD shrink.
Better off to just learn how to torrent though. If you already own the video. It's easier and quicker.
And try to find a DVD/Bluray drive without Riplock
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riplock
Pirate Bay isn't really that great anymore.. I do most of my anti-piracy research 🧐 on 1337x.to and Zooqle these days.
Rarbg has the best movie collection. 1337x only seems good for the random movie selection they highlight that tends to have a solid movie I never would have thought to download on my own. TPB works fine when their host isn't offline. TPB has the better tv seasons collections.
