What's your best retail DVD mis-pricing incident? (1 Viewer)

[Walt Riarson]

I've had this happen a couple of times, so I thought what are some of your favorite times when you've gotten a better deal than you'd intended?

I'm mainly asking about DVDs but if you have any other sort of retail mis-pricing story to share, feel free.

Forrest Gump

i was on the phone with an e-tailer and the guy quoted me for $13 + shipping brand new. he typed the order in, told me he accidentally read the wrong line, and gave me the price anyway!

In the purchase of over 140 DVDs, I've never had a mis-price incident!

Mummy UE $9.99(Wal-Mart)

A Bug's Life CE $19.99(Best Buy)

The Insider $2.99(Amazon mis-price)

Too many good deals at flea markets and used stores to list.

I can get most newer big name movies at my local flea market the week after their release for $12 sealed.Recent ones bought were Shrek and American Pie 2 WS.

I remember once that Amazon was selling The Robert DeNiro Collection (which I think included Heat, Bronx Tale, Goodfellas and Analyze This) for $6.79 instead of $67.99. I didn't buy it though! Silly me.

Braveheart at Best Buy, $9.99

From Dusk Til Dawn Collectors Set, Best Buy $26.99

James Bond Boxed Set #2 Best Buy $79.99

I think there was a couple more but with 630+ in the collection it's hard to remember them all.

Paid $29.99 for the Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box Set at Circuit City. Price sticker was for the 2 disc set that only had the standard discs. Saved about $30 bucks on that one.

Criterion's The 39 Steps for 8 bucks... they had it in the computer as the Madacy version, or whatever cheapo version it was.

This isn't the best mis-pricing deal I've gotten, but most recently, I found a mis-priced 5-Star Edition of M.A.S.H at K-Mart. It was supposed to be $22.95. They were all labled $19.95 though.
The employees had marked out the $19.95 price on most and scribbled in $22.95. However, I was able to find one in the bunch that hadn't been been marked back up.
I'll buy damn near anything if it's mis-priced. It's like, an omen that I'm supposed to buy it.

Gladiator from Target for $12.95. Had to put up a fuss, but I got it.
Of course, had I seen the movie already, I would have passed on the bargain.

Not exactly DVDs, but DVD-Related anyway:

A Multimedia Rack (300 CDs / 200 DVDs / 115 VHS or combo - the "No tools required" thingys) For 27.99$cdn... She let it go for that price. I thought it was supposed to be 49.99$ but no, it was 79.99$ when I went back and checked the adjusted price!

Wow!

Other than that, my only case of a DVD Deal on Misprice was Brandy's video collection, got it for 26$cdn instead of 30$cdn.

Nine Inch Nails $14.99 Canadian, that's less than $10.00 US at HMV.

Chasing Amy: Criterion Collection for $14.99 at Best Buy. Well, it might now be a misprice, but damn, that's cheap.
