I would like to sell my Pioneer CLD D925 Laserdisc player and 183 movie discs and 43 music discs Most have only been played once. Some of these are extremely difficult to find The player has been modified for digital output and includes yamaha AC3 to dolby digital converter. I will not sell the discs or components separately and am in Melbourne I am looking for $2000 for the lot. PM me for a XL spreadsheet of discs.

Am I asking too much for this? I would be willing to negotiate a price (within reason )

maybe, maybe not, without knowing what discs you have it's hard to say, attaching your spreadsheet with the list of the movies might be a good start

I've got about 3 times as many discs as you have and I wouldn't have thought what I have here is worth that much but as I said, without knowing what titles you have it's hard to say

Yeah,there's been heaps of LD for sale over the last 12 Months,probaly best to wait awhile but Ebay is the best Barometer.

Think there is a very limited number of people who are still interested in the format to be honest, your pricing seems to be more than fair without know the original RRP of the player...........

give it a few more days and then try ebay, after that you may need to consider separating to sell, several of us here are now buying certain discs but more as memorabilia than for playing purposes as in mine and Chopsus case we don't have players so my thinking is for wall plaques, etc.............

good luck in any case........

as others have said I don't think it is the price, it is more about finding the buyer. It is like having an unusual house, not so many buyers, but when one falls in love with it as much as you the price is fine. Laserdiscs don't have a big market now, but those that love them still will pay for them I would assume.

The problem with a collection that big is that you're going to have a large number of movies that people already have (any why would they want to buy them again?), some that they don't want, and then those few gems that might appeal but which can't justify purchasing the whole package.

For instance, I usually find myself interested in music discs, as there were lots on LD that didn't make it to other formats.  Movies I'm generally not that keen on because I stopped the willy-nilly impulse purchasing and only buy if I really *really* want something that I know will be a repeat viewer, and that'll be a BD purchase.

Thanks all for your advice. I was hoping someone would buy the player and discs and have an instant library. If no interest I will try ebay next week .

G'day Steve

I am a 30 year veteran of the Video collection hobby. VHS, Betamax, LD, DVD, Blu ray, V2000
Own a Pioneer CLD 2950 in mint condition and about 80 titles including some of the most prized releases and boxed sets

Wanting to slowly but surely add more players and discs to my video shed aka retro room
However I'd prefer to purchase selected titles not everything in one big lump as I only want the very best stuff on Laserdisc as its my fav format

Am an ebay australia LD buyer as well
All the sellers I've dealt with including DA Dons on Ebay USA rate me extremely highly as a buyer

will PM you once I've made a few more posts

If i can get my hands on a reasonable quality ld player then i may be interested in acquiring some ld's. Already have plenty of bd's and hd-dvd's and wouldn't mind adding a ld player if the price is right (no pun intended).
