Author Topic: How low can you go? DVDs you got at bargain prices (Read 11447 times)

Question 1: What's the lowest price you paid for a particular DVD in your collection? (please specify if brand new or 2nd hand)

Question 2: Where did you get this DVD bargain?

Needless to say, we should disqualify pirated DVDs from this poll/survey

Galaxy Quest, R1, at P400. The owner of Movie Depot Katipunan was moving her old stuff to get new ones in. GQ had been stuck on the shelves for the longest time. That's why she lowered her price. No second thoughts for me; it's one of my fave movies!

bestbuy.com had a misprice on the substitute 1 & 3 dvd for $0.02 (2 cents) so i ordered 50 copies for a total of $1.
had it delivered overnight for $20 more...got the 50 dvds the next day...so total average per dvd was around 42 cents (21 pesos)

...
i feel knda sorry for them...

but a lot of my freinds where very happy since i just gave this dvd's away...

amazon mispriced this for $0.00
they also offered free shipping

i was surprised that they honored the misprice

W:oW bently! Did you order that alone or with other Amazon stuff? I'm kinda wondering if they'll ship it as a single item without getting suspicious

i got the following DVDs at 2$ each --sealed, region 1--at a garage sale in the states

The Birth of a Nation
Nosferatu
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

it was just a single order, this was posted on a bargain forum and a lot of people got in the deal...in fact some of them even ordered 100 to 1,000 copies. amazon did catch-up and corrected their mis-price, and honored the orders but with a condition of only one copy per household...and everybody was happy.

Oh man! I wish I saw that! When would they be coming up with another misprice offering?

The cheapest brand new DVD (Made in America) I ordered is from DeepDiscountDVD.com for only $5.99. FREE SHIPMENT pa! Should've ordered Man with 2 Brains at the same price but then out of stock! Sayang!

Then, discovered that they were selling the same titles at Astro for P500.00. Duhh!

The cheapest deal i got was from amazon, i just can't recall when it happened, another one of those mispriced DVD's. Extreme DVD 4-Pack consist of Spawn, Dumb and Dumber, Mortal Kombat and The Long Kiss Goodnight. I paid $18 for the boxset plus $2.49 shipping the retail value of this pack was at $85 back then. They had a couple of mispricing incident like the Tom Cruise action pack and Let Li action pack which was also mispriced at $18 their retail value then was around $70 so i both ordered 2 copies of them but unfortunately amazon had discovered it so they sent email for all those who ordered the said titles and change the price to the correct value, i just cancelled my order coz i thought it a'int a bargain no more. The incident made headline on some DVD website if i recall. Try visiting their site often, who knows it might be your lucky day!

I was in on this deal too. But I think the cheapest DVD I got is the Killer Criterion, which I paid for $25, but sold for lots more.
