Why Do They Sell DVDs Like This?

    I have noticed this for a while and I just wondered why they do it.

    While looking for DVDs on places like Ebay and Amazon I notice that you can buy DVDs or popular shows like Will & Grace and Friends in chunks. For example Friends Series 10 - Episodes 1-4.

    Why do they do this?

    Because buyers want it lol . If their is demand then product will automatically come online . We can tell out children to watch cartoons on channels like cartoon network and pogo but we have buy old series on their demands .

    Whenever there is demand, they are bound to supply these items. It is a simple economics :)

    Because they can make more money like that :)

    If you want an entire series, you've got to buy 2-3 DVD's to have it, meaning more cash being spent heh :)

    Where there is a demand, there is product and service.
    DVDs are not expensive, people enjoy them and don't have to wait for the TV shows .

    this may be interesting if youre in UK and you like DVDs...

    My new project is a dvd rental machine, site will soon be live @ dvdmachine.org

    ANYWAY.... While looking for suppliers, I found only one retailer in UK that can supply disks suitable for retail store rental. Their catalogue covers everything and the prices are cheap. The usual cost of their disks are between £5 - £15 and this includes the latest releases that you would only be able to rent from a dvd store.

    I cant find the link to their site and cant see it in search, but if you want their site send me a message and i can find this link for you.

    That's a tough market to get into Dealexy, fierce competition and poor returns on older movies puts most people off.
    You're going to need something to make your site stand out from the crowd if you want to succeed :)
