One of my local pawn shops sells DVDs cheap. I've bought movies I've seen in stores with a $50-new sticker-price for $1. (I care little for Hollywood "product," my wife is the movie-watcher.)
Buying DVD/CD movies/albums is an excellent way to stick it to Big "Music" and I highly recommend it whenever possible. You are not "hurting" the "artists" by doing this, buying DVDs/CDs new mostly benefits the movie studio/record company (the "artist" gets very little of that money, the writer(s) get a bigger pie-piece.)
Member around the time of the Napster flap, when Garth Brooks decreed that record-stores that sell "used albums" should not be allowed to stock his crappy new-at-the-time album? His claim was that sales of "used albums" were cutting into his massive wealth. (The truth was: that generic album sucked just like the rest of his generic albums, and he had alienated fans with his "Chris Gaines" attempted money-grab.) As a marketing major, he should have known how economics work: a shoddy "product" over-priced at $1 will sell better than the same shoddy "product" massively over-priced at $19.99. As a wealthy Limousine Liberal "entertainer" with a fake persona he displayed typical contempt for his audience, who he knows statistically skew to the less-affluent: his focus was on profit, not "getting his music out there." The only way he cared about his music "getting out there" was at Full Retail Price.
Cancelled Netflix after Cuties, don't miss it. After a few months it was hard to find anything to watch there anyway. I think they spend a lot on new content, but it was all garbage.
If your still using Netflix at this point your part of the problem
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon too. Iām sure I missed about 300 other companies but I think these are the easiest to give up.
