They're likely doing Bin filtering. But also, perhaps, they try pre-authing each DVD borrowed for $25...

I've never used Redbox, but figure they likely pre-auth for the maximum $25 "Buy It" amount for each DVD borrowed? Anyone know if that's what Redbox does or do they just pre-auth each for $1 only and hope the person has more available, if they return it late.
