The only thing about displaying DVD's downstairs is that non collecting friends can see them and ask to borrow some.
I'm not tight, but I know that to a non collector a DVD is only a £13 shiny disc , or a shiny disc that the guy with the sports bag sells at 3 for a tenner in the pub.
Well to me its alot more than that , a hell of a lot more.
I also know that if its an infamous film , or particular violent , it'll be brought into their work and lent to other people, and the chances of me getting it back in the same condition as I lent it out are nil.
Plus, in the case of films I dont have more than one version of, it leaves a hole in whatever section of DVD's it was barrowed from , and that annoys the hell outta me. I've re-bought a film on a few odd occasions as it's irratted me that much , and that was only after 2 days, as I could see that one film not being in its slot was thowing all the rest of whatever section out of sync.
What way do the rest of you feel on lending. ?
BTW, I keep mine upstairs now, and have stopped lending films out.
