I also still blind buy (although nowhere near as much as I used to!), but Code Red Blu-ray blind-buying can be an expensive game of Russian roulette. At least the titles hold their re-sale value; not that I've ever gotten rid of a Code Red title (aside from DVD -> BD upgrades).
I generally check out films I'm not sure about via Love Film and Youtube etc. which have saved me countless times blind-buying tat that I'd then have the hassle of re-selling at a loss. It does work both ways though, as my 'to-buy' list has also grown a lot thanks to checking out some good stuff in advance of purchasing that I now want to own.
