Going to Amazon.com and purchasing a DVD is really that back breaking?

  If you're into niche stuff, yes. One DVD of a early 1980s cartoon movie I was looking for sells for $75 on Amazon. The cheap titles are usually horrific quality-- almost worse than old VCR tapes.

  Speaking for myself? Sometimes, yeah. I'm kinda impulsive at times. When it's 2:00am and I'm just struck by the urge to watch some random movie; if it's on Amazon Prime Video or Netflix, or if I happen to own the DVD, great. If not, I don't feel like driving somewhere to buy a DVD or waiting for Amazon to ship it to me. So yeah, I'm probably just going to torrent it.

  It's pretty inconvenient and financially unreasonable, yes.

  And then what? You watch it once and keep it forever? Is there an online way to sell used DVDs?

    > Is there an online way to sell used DVDs? Honest question, since by implication Amazon is not an answer: eBay?

      Maybe, maybe Craigslist. There are a few brick and mortar used DVD stores. Not many.
