Why is the DVD so hard to find?

I was looking to pick up a copy of this movie to add to my John Hughes' collection. However, it is nearly impossible to find. When I checked on amazon.com, I was shocked to see used copies going for 25 bucks a piece. That is just crazy. Why is this DVD so rare? I hate to do it, but I may have to just pick it up on VHS instead. Anyone have any advice for where I could find this movie on DVD reasonably priced?

Every time I go by a Walmart/K-mart video bin I look for this movie but so far no luck. Actually I found this site while looking for it on Bit Torrent!

I picked it up last night at HMV for $5 so a word to everybody that it HAS been re-released on DVD if you're not interested in buying it on BD.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

I know this is many years after the original post.
Dutch is now available on Blu-Ray. Prices are very good. As a result, the DVD prices have dropped substantially.
The high prices were due to the movie being out of print and people "adjusted" the price higher and higher. Once the blu-ray came out, the inflated prices adjusted back to where they should be.
