DVD Habits.

Judging by how quickly some of the new releases reach the trading threads, it seems like some of you just buy a film to watch once and sell or trade on. Fair play to you, as you get to see two films for the price of one or end up paying less than a rental. personally, I only buy films I want to keep. But out of curiosity, who`s a hoarder and who`s a trader?

I definately fall into the only buy because I like the film and want to keep it, trading to me is a pain and I only really trade or sell p0rn titles after all they`re not really keepies are they. :)

I only buy films that I think I would watch more than once.

Thats not something you should be spreading ;-)

I only buy films I want to keep, although sometimes buy a film on a whim if I`ve heard good reviews. Never traded/sold one yet, and don`t intend to.

Use to buy films that I knew and liked, Jaws ect but recently you can get films for £4.99 in in sales and even cheaper with a link voucher ect so I buy unseen I mean it aint worth renting anymore is it.

And yes I hoard.

I am tempted to sell films that have since had `Special Editions` released which weren`t advertised when I bought the `originals`...Zulu / Amadeus being a couple of examples.

I do both. I buy many films on back-catalogue that I always wanted. I also buy new releases cheap on R1 and then trade them on if I don`t like them. Its cheaper by far than paying for 2 cinema tickets and you get to hoard it if its a keeper.
