LsDoorMat Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The Black Friday Warner Archive 10/95 or 5/50 sale with free shipping is now live. Enjoy. Also, if you missed the 30% off sale that included the Warner Archive multi-disc sets, several of these sets are currently cheaper on Amazon than they are at the Warner Archive. It's an odd development since the individual disc products have always been more expensive on Amazon. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 The Bond 50 Blu-ray set is on special today only at Amazon for $99.99. Also, Barnes and Noble has a 30% off one item coupn that expires tomorrow (the 25th). If you order online, the code is T9P3E3W. If you go in-store, you will need this coupon http://images.barnesandnoble.com/pimages/email/2012/11/Holiday/Offers/1123_BlackFriday_30off_coup.gif?cm_mmc=AFFILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-f7sX52tQY3I-_-10:1&r=1 (SPECIAL NOTE: Instead of printinig it from that link, I would suggest copying that image and pasting it into a Word doc. I tried printing it directly from the link and it began to make my online connection act wonky. I then used the copying it and pasting it into Word and that worked fine.)

fxreyman Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well, I just did my Black Friday shopping courtesy of TCM. TCM Spotlight: Myrna Loy And William Powell Collection DVD $19.99 was $49.99 Katharine Hepburn: 100th Anniversary Collection DVD $20.99 was $59.99 Clark Gable: The Signature Collection DVD $20.99 was $59.99 James Cagney: The Signature Collection DVD $19.99 was $49.99 The Bette Davis Collection: Volume 3 DVD $20.99 was $59.99 Warner Home Video Western Classics Collection DVD $20.99 was $59.99 Garbo: The Signature Collection DVD $21.99 was $99.99 Ronald Reagan: The Signature Collection DVD $19.99 was $49.99 World War II Collection: Heroes Fight For Freedom DVD $20.99 was $59.99 TCM Greatest Classic Films: Broadway Musicals DVD $19.99 was $27.99 A total of $206.90 divided by 57 films equals: $3.63 per movie. $6.95 shipping. Not bad either. Not too bad. These were great deals. Especially the Garbo collection. Ten films originally for almost $100 for only $22. I was able to get these due to some money coming in that I was not expecting. A nice way to help me spend the holidays! Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 You did a LOT of buying there, but you did get a lot of good stuff. As far as the box sets, did you notice my post with the pictures on the next page? Costco has a number of the WB and Fox sets for $12.99. Link to post Share on other sites
NoraCharles1934 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Forever Marilyn Blu-Ray Collection is Amazon's Deal of the Day - $26.99 http://www.amazon.com/The-Forever-Marilyn-Blu-ray-Collection/dp/B0089J27VY/ref=xs_gb_A2N91AL6C4N59?pf_rd_p=441937901&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1WEMX0V6BCPSF4YPSAXQ By the way, many of the WB sets mentioned by fxreyman are listed at near or below the same prices on Amazon right now. The Gable, Hepburn & Powell/Loy collections, for example, are all at $18.49. And The Complete Thin Man Collection is only $17.99. I can recommend this set with particular enthusiasm (sorry - couldn't resist ). Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 The Marilyn set was a replacement when the Bond 50 set sold out early. The MM set expired at midnight on Saturday. However, it can be purchased at Costco for $24.99. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 There are quite a few Criterions on special at around $17-$20 on Amazon at at BB.

fxreyman Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks. Yes I did notice the pictures. I am not a member of Costco and for good reasons. If I were I'd be going over there weekly just to buy more stuff I don't really need. And when I was a member there, that was one of my issues. I would be shopping there with the clear understanding that I was only going to spend "X" amount and yet I would always walk out of there with more stuff than I had originally planned. They do have excellent deals and they are probably a few dollars less per set than what I got from TCM. Same is true with Amazon. All in all, 57 titles for $206.90 ain't bad. That comes out to $3.63 per title. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Best Buy has a special of several Warner Bros. digibooks at $14.99 each (Amazon has price-matched a few). Deliverance Amadeus All the President's Men The Town Seven Chariots of Fire A Clockwork Orange Malcolm X Goodfellas The Green Mile Little Shop of Horrors ($17.99) JFK Gettysburg Gods and Generals Unforgiven The Outlaw Josey Wales North by Northwest Papillon Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Fingerhut.com has the Hitchcock Blu-ray collection for $99.99 with free shipping by using code E1843. http://www.fingerhut.com/product/Electronics/DVD-Blu-Ray-Movies/Hitchcock-BluRay-Collection/productVariantId/108335597/pc/25275/c/25438/PT088.uts Great deal!

edgeciff Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 filmlover, guess we should have waited for this sale instead of the Australian release. Oh well, too late now. Both MOVIES UNLIMITED and TCM are having 20% sale plus free postage for Cyber Monday. More to order for me I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 You! Yes, you! It's all your fault! Just kidding. Oh, well. Anyway, Fingerhut's sold out now, at least for the time being. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 filmlover, we are still getting a good deal although minus NBNW. I am satisfied. Picked up a couple of good deals on DVDEMPIRE and may buy a few items on TCM 20% sale. Spent plenty recently. Sold several of the Hitchcock DVD's already on Amazon. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 filmlover, made about $35 from selling 4 out of 5 Hitchcock titles on Amazon. Not great, but not bad. Only have REAR WINDOW to sell so add maybe another $10. So the Hitchcock set maybe costs me maybe $50 with this deduction. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Glad you did well on the Hitch DVDs. Did you do it as a private seller, or did you do a trade-in to Amazon? I sold my James Bond individual Blus and a few DVD versions on eBay and that ended up paying for the Bond 50 set. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Definitely private seller. Amazon gives very little for trade. I actually sold 8 DVD's on Amazon over the holiday weekend. More than usual. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 filmlover, my Hitchcock set arrived today 11/29. Extremely well packed in a roomy box and better secured than the Universal Horrors set. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mine came today, too. Lots of films in there! It may be the longest strip I have encountered in a box set. Thanks for the original tip about it. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 We did save a couple of dollars from FINGERHUT special price. Yes lots of films to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 We did well in another way. A few people are reporting that the shipment they get is coming damaged. One person even said it came in a polybag, not a box. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hard to believe. Maybe the package got screwed in customs. Link to post Share on other sites
filmlover Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was referring to people who got the Fingerhut deal. I just noticed one thing in which you and I did come up way short with the Australian set (besides the NBN disc) is in the booklet. The booklet we got is 16 pages. The American set's booklet is 60 pages! Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Wow I did not realize those were from USA but the company has to make good. That is unfortunate about the Hitchcock booklet. I wonder if the British was the same as the Australian. I am still happy, I would look at the book once and never again, but it would have been nice to have it. Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I don't think anyone has mentioned the HUGH Criterion sale over at Amazon...50% off and more. Great deals. Link to post Share on other sites
