So I've got this 50 DVD spindle I bought a while ago. It seems as though I'm about to run out at any second. You know the pile has gotten to the point that it's underneath the grooved part and I'm having trouble getting the dvds out. But everytime I pull one out, another one is sitting there. This is about the 5th time I've expected the spindle to run out but there's still another one sitting underneath it.

It's magic I tell ya!

I HATE my DVD Spindels, they always have about 5 of those stupid spacer life saver ring thingies, almost as bad as the bag of chips you buy that have all the empty space at the top.

The base of the spindle isn't see through. And they normally have a lip on them so the last fwe DVDs are down inside the base. That's what he's talking about...

Your spindle must have a big lip or you sit below it or something.
Well, that or it's magic.

I'm not making it up, I get Verbatim and they have a TON of spacers, at least 4 :)
