Tablet Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 yeah but why would you buy it pre-owned when you can get it new for £2-3 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 It's still in good condition. I've bot loads of DVD's off of ebay. Nothing wrong with them. Moved: Quark's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 good condition and being able to watch it isn't the point, if he's collecting, he wants it NEW and in mint condition. Some just want to be able to watch entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablet Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 dont get me wrong i've got LOADS of dvds off ebay and loads that are preowned its just new is new, preowned is not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 ok, then I don't see a point in spending extra for basically the same thing, either. pre-owned dvds don't have to be scratched up and unplayable. mine are fine. buying something as New is just a kind of branding snobbery for similar quality and you spend extra money. this reminds me of a friend of mine that insisted on spending extra for "good" booze when she could have bought stuff that tasted almost the same and gotten her pack of smokes at the same time instead of bumming a few bucks off me to buy them later. budgets are NOT meant to be set aside on a whim.

Ulysses Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 funny you should mention about dvd's and ebay, when I am buying dvd's I do tend to try and look at the before buying them, last thing you want it someone to actually get it and find it all scratched up. Secondly, there has been a marked drop in priced of new "not so new" films which is now reflected on the price of a pre-owned dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablet Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 I wouldnt call my taste in buying new dvds as snobbery, maybe the onset of an OCD. For some reason i just like the fact that its 'new' and no one else has played them before me. but to be honest if you were to see 2 boxsets both the same ones new and ones pre-owned and their both the same price, which would you go for?

Amnot Borg Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 same set, same price, probably the new ones, lol... It's not exactly snobbery but it is a strange preference people have to be the "first' owner or to have the "best". whether it is hand-me-down clothes they detest or pre-owned dvds. I think part of it is brain-washing to get us to buy more and more things instead of re-using things that are not worn out yet. Of course the opposite is to hoard stuff long after it has a use in your family. lol, I've got relatives that do that with string and wire and old magazines. I need to find a balance somewhere.

Tablet Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yeah i cant explain it either, its just the feeling that their dirty or soemthing, my mothers the worst though, when she buys a preowned dvd she litterally cleans the box and the discs with cleaning fluid, she had a tone of empty dvd cases too incase the one it came in was damade in any way, maybe thats where it stems from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwings Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 You are totally correct.... If there's only a few dollars between prices then I would HAVE to buy new... Pre-owned is okay for something you cannot find or if there is a massive price difference....but otherwise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
