I read that Best Buy and others shipped back hd dvd movies due to extremely small or no demand. They have waited more than a month after Toshiba throw the towel but unfortunately they simply couldn't sell them, even at margin and as business who wants to sell thousands (or millions?) hd-dvd discs at loss price?

If you check ebay, out of 9,000 completed listings, most of them are between 1 cents to $8 but most no buyers. Only some popular and newer titles sell above $10.
