| Posted: | | | | Just like some of the other threads here, I'm curious of the best bargin you have ever got.
To start it off, mine is
'The X-file Complete Collector's Editon Box Set' RRP £199.99, I got it for £59.99! | | | Is it me? Or is Wilma Flintstone the most desirable women in the world? |

| Posted: | | | | Certainly not the best dvd I own, Home and Away Romances is the cheapest I have ever bought for $2.75 AUD from the ezydvd store near my house. They obviously couldn't give it away! |

| Posted: | | | | Hmmm... I believe the best bargain for a single disc would be The Shawshank Redemption for 25 DKK (5.18 USD). I believe I saw it last at my DVD-pusher at 10 DKK (2.07 USD).
Best price on a box would be the Danish television series from around 1980, Matador. It is 12 discs (two episodes each), and the discs were 200 DKK (41.47 USD) each - even when they were still full-priced, my DVD-pusher made their own cardboard box, stuffed the 12 discs in it (in individual keepcases), and sold it for 1000 DKK (207.36 USD)... | | | The future is here.

| Posted: | | | | Not as much of a bargain looking at prices now (but still good!), getting: Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 on the release date for £13.59 (RRP: £49.99) - 72% off - because of an honoured mis-price was nice. The release of the original TV movie came on the same day and there was a lot of confusion when the details were sent to online stores. I think the best reduction %age wise I've got must be the movies: Stealing Candy which was reduced from and RRP of £19.99 down to 99p and Betrayal down from RRP £15.99 to 79p (both 95% off) ... but I suspect that means they're not regarded as great movies Probably best bargain that people have heard of was a recent purchase of: Hart to Hart: First Season down from RRP £34.99 to £4.89 (86% off) | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| Posted: | | | | I was buying some DVD's from HMV and they forgot to charge me for one, and it wasn't until I got home and looked at the receipt that I realised that I'd got a 'free gift' ! It was the Simpson's Season 6 Boxset too, which was retailing at £29.99 at the time... now that is one hell of a discount! My best value for money buy (rather than freebie ) is probably The Silence of the Lambs The Criterion Collection. I paid £7.23 including international postage for it new! Another good buy was Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead Collection 5 Disc Boxset which I paid only £14.89 for brand new, including postage. Alternatively the worst value for money purchase I have ever made was the Blade Runner Five Disc Ultimate Ltd Edition tin with film cell.... now before you crucify me for blasphemy I must explain that I pre-ordered this a full 6 months before it's release date from Amazon, and was waiting like a rabid dog at the mail box for it's arrival. When it did come, imagine my disappointment when I opened my package to find not a gleaming Blade Runner tin, but instead High School Musical 2!!!!???? - and an invoice for Blade Runner. Aside from wanting jump up and down on the fore mentioned DVD, I was beside myself. What made things worse was that on contacting Amazon, they told me that it was out of stock so they issued me a refund. This meant a quick purchase from Play.com, meaning that not only did I get my Blade Runner a week later than it was released, Play were also charging £5 more as the pre-order price had come and gone! Aside from this 'minor' hiccup I have had no other major problems with internet ordering! | | | DVD Blu-Ray LastFM | | | Last edited: by bizarre_eye |

| Posted: | | | | Best deal I ever got was Roger Ramjet The Deluxe full series brand new for $4.99. There was a small book store going out of business and they had a few DVD's the owner had ordered to try and bring in more sales. It worked for him, just a little too late.
Well that and "Down Among The Z Men" for 25 cents at the local used video store.

| Posted: | | | | First season of "PSI Factor" (RC2 German) at release date for 5,99€ instead of 49,99€. It was mispriced at buch.de for only one or two days in the preorder-time in november. Normally they just cancel such orders of mispriced articels, but since I payed already after ordering they didn't. |
