I'd wish the seller lots of luck, but it'd be a lie.

This guy has cases and cases of these damn things.

"UP FOR BID IS A LOT OF 500 MOVIES IN DiVX FORMAT WITH 50
OR MORE TITLES . THESE WILL PLAY ON A DVD PLAYER THAT
HAS A FEATURE OF "DiVX" FORMAT. THESE ARE SOME TITLES
OF THE MOVIES: CASINO, BRIDE OF CHUCKY, ROCKY, FEAR,
ENEMY OF THE STATE, DYING YOUNG, EVIDENCE OF BLOOD
................AND MANY MORE"

We were told by Circuit City that DIVX disks will play ONLY on
registered DIVX players. I don't believe that there are any registered
DIVX players because DIVX went under over 3 years ago. If the DIVX
player can't call home, it shuts down the DIVX function.

"THIS WILL NOT STAY FOR LONG SO BUY-IT NOW AND SELL IT
FOR RETAIL AND START MAKING MONEY."

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Gotta agree with you here, Scot -- laughing is the correct route. This
guy is out of his mind...no Divx player has played a Divx disc for years
now.

Of course, SOMEONE will be moronic enough to bite...

What I don't understand is where he got all of these disks. And why are
they surfacing now, after all this time?

You would think that all of them would have been sold 4 for a dollar
when DIVX was still functioning. If nothing else, they should have been
melted down into hairspray.

Hard to believe he hasn't gotten any bids yet.

I doubt it. Not at $1000. And anybody with a Divx player knows whether
or not it can play Divx discs now.

They still play any previously regestered DIVX discs

the nice thing about divx was when you bought the disc for 5 bucks, you took
it home, and popped it in and then the machine would call up to turn it on,
if you unplugged the phone line, it could never call up and have the machine
turn the disc off. It worked like a Tivo, it would update the machine every
night and turn off what ever films had expired. It was fun, there weren't
and real placed to rent DVD's. I liked Divx

i mean, it's way too expensive to rent new releases from Blockbuster now,
way more than the Divx discs ever cost.

My first DVD player was a ex DIVX that i got at CC the day they announced
the end of the era and reduced all the prices. the discs were fifty cents
and the player was 200 reduced from 500. We had thirty days to still buy and
register movies. I guess they hoped everyone would jump at the low prices
and purchase an open-end for the disc which was more expensive but you could
watch it endlessly, you got the same effect by unplugging the phone line.

Since there's no way to register a disc now, they are useless

but all mine still work to this day

I have never seen a DiVX release - are those really DVDs in that
strange US format? Otherwise I think this guy might be peddling
pirated discs in a format known as DiVX (actually MPEG4). These are
very common in Russia, for example. There are now a few DVD players
that are able to play this format.

I see. I stand corrected. But I still think most would know that new
discs can no longer be activated.

You're saying Blockbuster charges "way more than" $5 for new releases?
I've never used them, but I find that hard to believe.

Looking at the third picture posted in the auction, the pallet
of stuff on the right is addressed to the Salvation Army,
and there are a ton of pallets behind it in the warehouse it's
in. My guess is it got shipped to some closeout or salvage
vendor, and for whatever reason was only recently uncovered.
