Wow, this was sure a difficult hunt:

And that was just with about a 30 second search. Said search also revealed plenty of blurays over $20 regularly that are just temporarily on sale because of the holiday sales. Don't mistake slashed sale prices for the regular price. If there is a crossed out price visible, it means that is the regular price. It's like I picked up four Studio Ghibli blurays for under $60 total because of sales. You can guarantee they'll shoot back up to around $25 - $30 a piece by the time the sales die down in early January at the latest.  You can also find that most movies for pre-order in particular are set at around $25 new up to $30 or more depending on how versions are being bundled into the stock bluray package.

I know being wrong is hard, but when you are blatantly incorrect or are leaning on sale prices as proof of your everyday experience, maybe you should just consider calling it quits.

out of those four movies two are not new and are rare. Star Wars and Beauty and the Beast are Disney movies which was established to be more expensive.

Suicide Squad is the only new one and even then thats a special edition.

Pete's Dragon is also a Disney movie.
