After a long look for a larger, ground level place- the perfect spot has been secured!

Please pardon the interruption while we move all the thousands of discs, players and killer promo pieces to the new location and get settled !!

Thanks everyone for your orders!

&Check back for updates!!!

Now that things have become more settled and dried out, we're at a place where we can actually move out of here!

We have a place in mind, but we'll let you know once we've secured it.

As of now, the inventory on the site is not current- once we've moved into the new space the entire site will be gone through and fully updated with current condition and descriptions. We've separated out anything that was involved in the flooding and was able to be saved. At this time, unless it is something very rare and worth saving to pass on to a new home, those discs will not be listed on the site. We hold high standards for the quality and condition of each LD that we have. If any disc does not meet those standards, they will not be listed on the site. We took the time to make a page devoted to our standards so you can read them as well -HERE. As always, please read the description of condition and feel free to email with any questions!

Thanks so much again for sticking with me through all this, it means the world.

After a week of cleaning, rotating, and lots of fans- things are drying out!

I'm in better spirits and doing my best to stay positive in all this.

We are officially looking for a new place to move to and will let you know more once we have found a new place!

I sincerely appreciate all of your support and kind words. You've all made me feel a lot better about this terrible situation, so thank you very much.

It literally hurts me with every ounce of my being to have to say this-
My storage place where all the discs are stored flooded 4 inches.
I’ve been crying about it for hours because it hurts me to my core to have these things I love so much be ruined in any way.
25 boxes were affected by the water and approximately 500-700 that were so damaged they had to be thrown away.
Never in my life could I have ever imagined myself putting a single disc in a trash can and I cried the whole time doing it.
I saved as many as I could from it and spent the coming weeks working to clean it up.
I know they’re just things, but they’re my things and I love each and every one of them.
All I’ve ever wanted was for them to be in good homes and for them to get hurt on my watch just hurts me so deeply-
I hate so much that this happened and I hate to have to give news like this.
My heart is broken right now.

In honor of our beloved format hitting a milestone birthday, here's a little history on LaserDisc!

LaserDisc (abbreviated as LD) is a home video format and the first commercial optical disc storage medium, initially licensed, sold and marketed as MCA DiscoVision in the United States in 1978.

LaserDisc was first available on the market, in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 11, 1978, two years after the introduction of the VHS VCR, and four years before the introduction of the CD (which is based on laser disc technology). Initially licensed, sold, and marketed as MCA DiscoVision (also known as simply DiscoVision) in 1978, the technology was previously referred to internally as Optical Videodisc System, Reflective Optical Videodisc, Laser Optical Videodisc, and Disco-Vision (with a hyphen), with the first players referring to the format as Video Long Play.

Pioneer Electronics later purchased the majority stake in the format and marketed it as both LaserVision (format name) and LaserDisc (brand name) in 1980, with some releases unofficially referring to the medium as Laser Videodisc. Philips produced the players while MCA produced the discs. The Philips-MCA collaboration was unsuccessful – and was discontinued after a few years. Several of the scientists responsible for the early research (Richard Wilkinson, Ray Dakin and John Winslow) founded Optical Disc Corporation (now ODC Nimbus).

In 1979, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago opened its "Newspaper" exhibit which used interactive LaserDiscs to allow visitors to search the front page of any Chicago Tribune newspaper. This was a very early example of public access to electronically stored information in a museum.

In 1984, Sony introduced a LaserDisc format that could store any form of digital data, as a data storage device similar to CD-ROM, with a large 3.28 GiB storage capacity, comparable to the later DVD-ROM format.

The first LaserDisc title marketed in North America was the MCA DiscoVision release of Jaws on December 15, 1978. The last title released in North America was Paramount's Bringing Out the Dead on October 3, 2000. 

By 2001, LaserDisc had been completely replaced by DVD in the North American retail marketplace. Players were still exported to North America from Japan until the end of 2001. Production of LaserDisc players continued until January 14, 2009, when Pioneer stopped making them.
