I generally do not buy used ones but occasionally will. Used tend not to come with slipcover or digital codes, which is a huge plus for me. If I get a movie with a missing code then i'll obsess over getting a digital copy as well, which often tends to come in the form of just buying a brand new copy. May also be missing additional discs or dvd copy too.
For the most part I only buy 4k steelbooks nowadays unless no steelbook is available. A lot of times I will buy a normal bluray in addition to the steelbook because I generally like the look of the bluray cases better and the artwork is often better. They need to find a way to make those steelbook cases have more pop. They look very dull on a shelf compared to a bluray with slipcover.
Flawless victory. Another one for the good guys. -

why oh why arent' there more movies on ebay really cheap like 5 dollars including shipping i would buy lumberjack man on dvd if it wasnt' 25 dollars like it is on amazon right now. wtf? why is this movie so expensive when it is 5 years old now and its' just on dvd?
there have to be websites that offer good deals on movie so 15 dollars including tax but what website is good other than ebay? do you know? what website has a good deal so 14.99 shipping for malena/blu ray, dread, blu ray, ayal, blu ray, and violent ****: the movie, blu ray?
i buy new if i love the movie and used if i dont like the movie but want to own the actress nudity scenes on blu ray.

Because shipping is $3 minimum nowadays and that's for ****ty media mail shipping.
If you have a local Goodwill or such store check there, they get them almost everyday , often still sealed, and they only cost $2 each. You can build quite a collection of blurays dirt cheap in no time if you have time to check in every day for them. Sometimes they get 4k and Steelbooks as well.
Bring. More. Sheep. -

a really sad thing just happened, fry's just closed if you go to their website it says they are out of business. so so sad and all bc of the ****ing, evil pandemic. they were the biggest selection movie seller in the world.
if you went there your jaw would drop bc thy had rows and rows of movies for sale. and not just hollywood movies but small, independent movies, artistic movies.

I will if the asking price for new is too high. I recently bought the blu rays of Apocalypto and The Passion of the Christ. I wanted specific editions of each. Buying new versions would have cost me around $60 in total. So I bought 'very good' used copies on Amazon for a total or around $25. And they were both excellent purchases.
Also, I loved the 1990 tv series The Flash so much I wanted to get the series on dvd. At the time the only one I could find was a 'very good' copy on Amazon for $10. New ones were selling at twice that. So I bought it and you could not even tell it was used. Even the insert looked untouched.
I had the same luck with several seasons of The Simpsons.
But, in general, I will always try to find a new copy.
