Woolworths have been around for years! My Mum worked at the Parkstone one & that is under threat. Bournemouth had one with a cafe but that closed back in 1980!
I have brought some Hardcore Cds from Woolworths in the past as well as DVDs & who can forget the pick n mix?
I hope someone buys the out so they can stay!

Yep, I also have really strong doubts that they'll actually find a buyer.

if i go in woolworths they will have say...20 dvds that are £3, and of those 20, 4 are worth buying...
..if i go on amazon...well, they have thousands of dvds for £2.50 with shipping...
and as ive found out in the past - its hard to say "ok stop" lol
i already typed in the word "hardcore" sorted by price, and bought up all the hardcore (dance) cds that were below £5  eventually as the pages went on the price went up and i stopped...do that with dvds, the pages just go on and on! aghh!
plus its all to do with that instant gratification isnt it.
at the moment im only allowing myself dvds and cds ..as soon as im employed all that will stop
and it will be back to buying vinyl again :D (which is the other great thing about 2nd hand stores - not getting charged up the waaazoooooo on the shipping prices on ebay...£3 to send a piece of vinyl - dont be tarded! i bought 170pieces of hardcore vinyl (a vinyl lot) and the shipping? £11...£11 pound!!!!!! so dont charge me £3 for one!!!!
well..i kinda went off a bit there, and off topic...
TBH i do what you do, but i always get few full/middle priced DVD's too. So the average price is pretty low, but i get few new ones too. Here if you buy only the DVD's on sale, you will lose most if not all extras etc. The special/limited editions are often only sold at full price, so the really good movies/series i buy on release date, and others whenever their cheap enough.
