[LM_NET] Expensive DVD

[Tina Sherlock <st-sherlock@SHAW.CA>]

Hello wise colleagues,

I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to why there are some oddly expensive 
DVD's out there?? A teacher in my school is looking to buy "A Cry in the Wild"- a 
movie based on Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet." Amazon.ca has it listed for $189!! 
In his words, "why the heck does an unknown, low budget, second-rate video become 
so expensive?!?!?!? Surely it can't be in such a limited print as to be able to 
charge 4 to 5 times the cost of the latest releases!!!!"  Movies with Public 
Performance Rights aren't even that expensive. On the same note, if anyone knows a 
supplier of a good educational DVD dealer (that ships to Canada) I'd be 
appreciative! 

Thanks,
