It's odd, because often, if something doesn't have much demand, usually it's 
cheap.  And many times, indeed I've been able to buy used CDs, DVDs, blu-rays 
etc. fairly inexpensively - most often from Amazon these days, but lately I've 
tried to look for some used blu-rays, to find that they aren't much cheaper 
than new copies.  I have a feeling demand for them may have done down so much 
that there just aren't many people selling used ones anymore.  Sometimes you 
can find deals at thrift stores though - I think people may be finding it 
easier to just donate them rather than sell them these days (due to lack of 
buyers).

I've also heard of people just throwing their collection in the garbage. :(

 UG> stuff is more out of print now.

That's an issue too.  Over the years, there have been a couple movies I've 
wanted to buy that end up being fairly expensive because they're out of print.
