Cartoon Inflation Index:
Would you pay $3 for a 1933 Walter Lantz Oswald The Lucky Rabbit cartoon? I did just the other day. And the thing that burned me up a little was that the disk had been marked up from 99 cents.
The 99-cent disks that have flooded the market for the last couple of years are being systematically dumped to thrift stores. And the thrift stores are pricing these dollar disks like major release DVDs and ironically tripling the original selling price on the Public Domain product.
Maybe this is the birth of a new distribution pipeline for PD cheapo DVD producers? It gives you something to think about. And it all comes down to how much I really want that 1 title.
