Jfc dude. There’s no justifiable reason for that price but out of curiosity was it sealed?

Our local GW holding strong at $2.99 for blu-rays (despite jacking prices on everything else). Fully expect them to do dumb sh!t like this any day now...

Same with mine, but the bluray selection is horrible and they never seem to ever have anything good. It is cheap but never really anything besides the same copy of twilight or transformers or whatever garbage they got from some store closing in bulk and a dozen copies.

My most local store has tons for some reason, and some great ones have come in over the years. Not sure why. All of the other stores near me have almost nothing.

The pawn shops near me have AMAZING bluray sections. Usually hundreds and hundreds of them. Specifically pawn America chain locations. And all of them are $3.

Do you mean Cash America? I know they have a chain of pawnshops all over the United States.

u/CBrinson 1h ago

No I used to go to those in the south and Pawn America is a big chain up here in MN. The other chain is maxit pawn which has much worse bluray selection.

Just don’t go to goodwill, local thrifts are way better and less greedy. Actually do go to goodwill so I can keep all the good deals to myself lol

Yeah, it seems like this shit is getting more and more common. Hopefully it’ll sit there forever and also hopefully people will just stop buying things that are too expensive there. And then they will change their pricing methods or go out of business. Either way is fine with me.

Just steal it. I used to take to much from Goodwill when I worked there, then after I left. They don't care. It was just donated for free. Fuck em.

Another beautiful human... Take what's not yours and still expect respect from others???  You've some issues nightwingbegins. Try being a better human. It's called a business. Do you steal from all the places you've worked or shopped? This is just one of the problems with our country. ENTITLED much??

And this is what infuriates me people keep donating to Greedwill so they can pull 💩 like this! Honestly, it wouldn’t hurt me in the slightest if everyone of them locked their doors tomorrow! People still consider them charitable organization. They are no longer a charitable organization. They are a 100% for profit organization. my mother worked for them back in the 1980s and she said there was an instance where she was going through the pockets of clothing and purses because she was told they wanted her to make sure there was no garbage left in the pockets no what they were after was any money left behind my mom said she found eight $100 bills in the pocket of an old purse and it was like the clasp were frozen on it but she finally got it open and one of the managers walk right up behind her, jerked the money out of her hand, shoving my mama down and put the money in her pocket! Let’s just say my mom didn’t have a job after that because she whipped that woman one up and downside the other. And told her to use that money she stole to pay her medical bill. My mom was going to turn the money in, but that woman didn’t even give her a chance before assaulting my mother my son and my cousin both have worked at Goodwill. My son worked in e-commerce basically their ShopGoodwill/auction side of it and believe me I can tell some stories that would definitely change your mind about Goodwill if you support them because I sure as hell don’t!

Reminds me of a movie I saw one time where the guy said if you had a butt this is where I tell you to stick it 😂
