Actually.... Tina Turner is on DVD... Looney Tunes is on DVD, and
Mirrorman comes out next month.

The other two are Silent Film collections, a niche market (But a
collectable one none the less it would seem). Leaving '64's Robin
Crusoe.

While the one listed did sell for $125.. Another one sold for $66.

Quick search of the Laser Disc Catagory had 10682 auctions over the
past 30 days.

Only 250 auctions ended above $65.. and in that 250 there were many
machines in the wrong catagory, and large lot sales.....

Including 50 for 70 bucks!

Number of Laser auctions that sold, or for that matter that could not
even sell for $1 or less... 900.

Number of DVD auctions over the past 30 days... 1.2million+
