Finance: Smarter Ways to Buy DVD's

I like to collect good DVD movies that have good values and a "whole lotta action"...its for my boys to watch when they are older!. So far the best are 'Master & Commander' and 'Men of Honour'.

Lately, Ive found that a smarter way to get new release DVD's s to go to Blockbuster and put your "name on the list". They buy 'stacks' of new releases and then sell most of them 3 weeks later for about $10 or so less than retail price. Picked up "The Last Samurai" and "LOR III" recently for $19-95.

Each DVD has 30 day guarantee, and all are put through the 'grinder' to ensure that any scratches are removed. Additionally, you can take scratched CD's in for repair for about $5-
