• Anyone in Ireland annoyed at the price of DVDs? 9/2/2007 3:51:47 PM
  
  Thanks Jethro - I suspect that there might be a bit of a Cartel going on here in Ireland... all the traders agree to keep the prices between 50 and 70 euros. [As an aside - when the R18 came in to the UK I bought a Private DVD for 120 sterling. I am not kidding. A month before when I went to the store and bought a DVD for 30 sterling it was not hardcore--I could not believe that we in Ireland and N. Ireland were ahead of the UK [albeit illegally!!]. Nonetheless $120 was a complete rip-off. I think the shop owner [the only one in the city] realised he could do what he wanted...]

  Thanks for the replies. I will look at your collection Sir Wankalot!!! My delivery has arrived from Holland via the UK! The postman gave me a knowing wink when he handed me the parcel. Despite it being in an unmarked box it was clear that the contents were DVDs as they were rattling around. Maybe I will just have to place a bigger order. Reasonably good value. Buy two DVDs and get a third free with no postage costs. I bought three of the large Jules Jordan DVDs which are retailing at 70 euros EACH in the shops here for a total of 79 euros. I know that is probably still expensive by US standards but it seemed like good value to me.

You can be fined 5000 euros for each DVD in the shop if raided but such raids are a token gesture from what I hear! Customs are a big problem--even for the shops as a lot of the stuff gets stolen. There is a big trend here of exchanging DVDs in shops. So if a DVD costs 60 euros and you return one that was 60 euros you get 50% off. In reality this means that you are basically paying 30 euros to rent a movie. In addition I have never seen a store check the quality of a DVD when I have returned it. It could be damaged. I get very annoyed if I pay the full price [60] for a DVD and there are problems with it. This, to be fair, is becomin...

  The average price of a DVD in Ireland is 60 euro [almost 75 US dollars]. Why do we have to pay so much from our stores when you see the cheap prices that are available in the US? If anyone from the trade is online I would love to know their thoughts.... Topic Moved by - shiwarrior on Aug 27 2007
