I did find that their prices weren't great. I think I'll stick to actual thrift stores.

That is crazy! Normally their prices aren't that high. HPB is one of my favorite stores. I've found LOTS of great finds there over the years. I found Jessica Smith's Total Stretch at HBP yesterday for $8.99. Thought it was a bit on the high side, but bought it anyway. Compared to $20 it's a great price! I miss their coupons.

i wonder if they thought the Fitness Favorites version was the same as the Good Times version, and was pricing it off of the FF version?

although we don't have a physical HPB store here, i've bought from them on Ebay at really low prices.

I have been using the Thrift Books website to buy a lot of used DVDs before they are gone for good Not a bricks and mortar thrift store but the closest online version by name... Recently, I went to an ol' fashioned thrift store and snagged Jessica Smith's 10 Minute Solution Knockout Body Workout and Janis Saffell's (with Scott Cole) Tai Chi Balanced Workout on DVD. Score!!!

Okay, after reading your post, I went on the Thrift Books website and ordered five dvds. But I got free shipping, the total was $31.84. Not bad for five dvd's!

That must be it. I had this on VHS back in the day and got rid of it. If the DVD was a few bucks I might have bought it, just because I love Tracie.

I'm looking through the site, too! They have basically the same DVD's that DeCluttr has. But maybe I'll find a gem I can't live without! Wow...you found 5 you wanted. Nice!

My collection is 95% Jessica Smith, so I have quite a few I can add, lol. I only have one KCM that I found at Goodwill, so picked up a couple more. I also picked up a couple of Pink Firms, and a Prevention Chris Freytag. I have been wanting to do strength workouts that move slower with heavier weights. Most of what I have is faster, lighter weights workouts. I'm hoping that these will be what I'm looking for. Although heavy for me is 10 pounds, but hoping to move up!
