almost 100% of mine are used from half.com If they dont have what I want I try to find it on ebay.the last bunch of dvd audios were from ebay at sound city beaches all new.the average title was around $10.00ea.they have a lot there.I think over 100 discs.that midnight oil in the other post I got from there.

However I have gotten a few DVDs for the opening bid of 99 cents, I loose a lot of bids as my maximum bid is usually $7.77 or $8.88 unless I want it real bad then I bid $11.11 for my maximum bid. I usually bid during the last day of the auction.
I haven't tried half.com as I can see the seller's picture of the item to make sure it is a DVD-Audio or a SACD as I have heard stories of people getting regular CDs when they think they are buying SACDs. You have had very good luck with DVD-Audios, so I am guessing it is harder for a seller to get a DVD-Audio confused with a CD. So I am going to try half.com for DVD-Audios. I'm still scared to try buying SACDs there. On eBay I only bid if the seller has a picture and I can actually see the item or in the item description they say exactly what they have.
Anyway I wanted to thank you for the suggestion about Half.com. I also wanted to thank you for livening up the DVD-Audiobaun. I was really started to get dead after ZS KEKL left.
Happy Listening,
Teresa
I forgot to tell you how I buy at half.com.when I find the disc I like I will always look at all the sellers selling the same disc.I will pick a used one from one of the most feedback sellers.they will have the most discs because I buy all the 5.1 formats.
I does not matter witch seller you pic all the discs will be new no scratches,just not sealed.I dont know why this is.Its rare for me to go back to the same seller. some may have broken cases but new discs.one huge seller had a bunch of dvd audios like that at about $5.00 ea I bought them all.once there gone there gone.Ive never seen broken case sacds though.good luck.its fun buying this way but its expensive when shipping is added.but I think its cheaper than ebay.that is my experence on dvd audio the other formats were bought from the same sellers if they had the disc I liked.they were new too,just not sealed.

your welcome hi.I hate ebay I dont like bidding.there are some ups codes that are wrong.2 that I know of are peter framptons live sacd you will get some country cd disc same code.there a 5.1 sacd survivor destinys child that has the same code for the cd.Im actually working on the destinys child titled super audio sacd.Im hoping its the right one.thay have 2 ways of listing the same sacd the review said that it was a exellent multi channel mix.they use the same picture upc codes at both sites.I bought one again because the seller did not get back.emailed after it was bought.told her dont send it!!this is rare so I will keep trying.Im no sure if I bought the next one new I dont think it is.if not I have hopefully a 50 50 chance of getting the right disc.he had more sacds for sale.
john cougar is not dvd audio & peter yorns strange condition.you might see the cheskys listed as dvd audio,but im sure you know there not. Im happy theres no much more I want.I have about 300 of the multi channel discs.I will keep looking for Rock & country mch sacds. I want at least 100 but they will be hard to find.I might have close to 75 now.
If I find any more upc codes that are not right I will post it.

Hi Ben and Teresa,
Thank you both for your comments and suggestions. I just bought a DVD-A and SACD capable player and like to try this hi-rez format for a change instead of RBCD.
Best regards,
Kenobi
I have lots of recommended out of print DVD-Audio's in the following archived posts. Warning all the Warner Group titles are now out of print and expensive on eBay but hey you might get lucky and find a few at your local used record store. There is some duplication between the two lists they were compiled a year apart and quite some time ago. All the AIX titles listed are still in print, and most of the Classic Records and Chesky's are also in print. Sad thing a lot of stuff is out of print. If you like King Crimson the complete catalog is supposed to be coming to DVD-Audio later this year, some places have the first few titles as pre-orders.

you can see a listing of DVD-Audios on my site (see below) - some can be found on Amazon but most are OOP and only on ebay or half.com
I strongly recommend the AIX stuff (various artists and styles) they are excellent, as well as Porcupine Tree (progressive rock)
