Hi Lara,
Actually, "Affluenza" *was* being sold for $29.95 on home video by Bullfrog
Films at least back in early 1998 due to contractual obligations from the
original producer. You might want to check with them about a reduced price,
however, especially for a branch library with no need for public performance
rights.
Best,
