I just keep on getting great deals. I bought another copy of Armageddon: Criterion Collection there for only $9.99 tonight.

 

I'm about to pick up the following in a trade, and I can't wait to get it!

The good deals just keep on coming.

 

I bought the 2-disc special edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly at WalMart earlier today for only $7.50 because in the Target paper, they had a list of $7.50 DVDs and they had the wrong picture of TGTBATU listed, the special edition was listed where the normal single disc version should have been.

If I don't stop finding great bargains, I'm going to go crazy. I really need to slow down my buying. Then again, I can sell a few things and more than make up for buying all of this.

Best Buy 2 for $20 from this past week

 

The Beyond

Psycho ('68)

 

Funny story about Psycho...

 

About two years ago I bought Psycho at a Flea Market for like $8, and for some reason it went straight into my cabinent not to be seen for around a year. Well one day I felt like watching it, so I get it out and for the first time I noticed a problem.

 

I bought the god damn remake and for some reason I believed it was the original. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.

Honest to God, I have no clue. I've been doing all of my buying just out of what I have in my PayPal account, and it doesn't seem like it ever wants to go down. I'll buy a bunch of stuff and get low on PP funds, then I'll stumble onto a great deal somewhere on a used DVD or something that is very rare and OOP, or just an insanely good price, then I'll put it up on eBay and it'll make up for all that I spent.

 

I've also grown into an eye that can catch misprices and overall insanely good deals. I never buy anything at full price unless I just really want something. The last thing I bought at full price was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and even then I wouldn't pay $20, I had to search for the cheapest price at a local WalMart and get that for $15, heh.

 

I know this can't last though. :(

As an example of how I keep making money to buy things using only my PayPal funds, here you go. That sealed Toy Story I bought at a pawn shop for only $8 that I mentioned at the top of this page...well, I sold it on eBay for $51.

At a local supermarket they were selling old used VHS tapes cheaply as hell and among the less interesting titles I managed to find copies of Miracle in Milan, Lisbon Story, Pauline at the Beach and Merchant of the Four Seasons.

I did my weekly rounds again, and this is what I picked up.

 

From a couple of pawn shops, I picked up the following:

 

$5 each:

 

Apollo 13: CE

Star Wars: Episode I

Terminator 3

 

$10:

 

South Park: The Complete First Season

 

 

Then I took the Roswell Season One set that I bought from Amazon for $13.xx to WalMart today, and they ended up giving me a $50.xx gift card. I then took the gift card to Sam's Club, and picked up the following with the credit:

 

Arrested Development: Season One

How did you manage to do that?

I never opened it. I just went to the customer service desk and told them that I recently bought the set and then said I was wondering if they would give me a gift card for it, and they did. I've done it before, and I do not feel bad about it seeing that they are just going to put it on the shelf and eventually sell it anyway.
