We've shoveled some grief Blockbuster's way for passing up on buying Netflix for 50M, but I have to give it to them, Blockbuster's sole remaining brick/mortar store is doing what it can to tap into what is now a nostalgia type market only.

Marv's Neighbor Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Didn't read this in the article but heard that they only rent to "locals." If that's true, tourists need not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 My daughter has become a proud thrifty. I commend her for that. Im more of if you have the cash, do what feels good, type of guy. She is always so happy to show me her Goodwill goods. She showed up an hour ago so proud of the four DVDS she got for a dollar 25 each... Wait for it... We havent had an operating DVD Player for five years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a pretty cool gimmick anyhow imho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
