Brand new MPI/Dark Sky DVDs $2-3 from various Amazon sellers
I happened to discover some really cheap MPI/Dark Sky Films DVDs being sold brand new by multiple third party sellers on Amazon & Half.com. Some brand new DVDs I've found between $2-3 (before the $3 shipping):
-Plague Town
-Psychic Killer
-Shiver
-Terror Beneath The Sea
-The Flesh Eaters
-Vengeance
-Without Warning
There's more. Here are the search results for "MPI" from 2 different Amazon sellers:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=1&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&asin=&seller=A3RIG4UNRYMNM3
Anyone know if these older Dark Sky titles are going OOP, or just overstocked?

Re: Brand new MPI/Dark Sky DVDs $2-3 from various Amazon sellers
I imagine with the movie and the new master set MPI will be re-releasing all the older Dark Sky stuff in new packaging (this is a guess only btw), thus leading to the older stuff ending up as OSs.
They have already had the older sets on sale on their website for a while for $24.95.
And now that I went and looked they also have the new individual season sets and favorites collections on there. So definitely looks like any remainders/OS showing up are due to the them being phased out for the new.

I looked around and one of those MP sellers is also selling them on Half.com & Alibris, which are $3 shipping for the first & $2 for each additional DVD.
Here's Plague Town as a starting point:
http://product.half.ebay.com/Plague-...-2009/72000043
http://www.alibris.com/moviesearch?qisbn=0030306815398
I don't think these sites pull up all those titles for "MPI" though, you'd have to search each individual title I think.
Indeed! http://www.darkskyfilms.com/ And if you go to their webstore, you can buy these overstock DVDs for their full retail prices! Only $23 more for Plague Town.
(Does anyone buy directly from labels like Dark Sky or Synapse that charge full MSRP?)

These have also been at Half Price Books for $3-5 for a while, fwiw.

Thanks.
Feel free, anyone, to post any other good finds. Or recommendations. I quite enjoy THE FLESH EATERS myself, it's an interesting obscure little viral/biological horror flick, not the cheesy exploitation sort of movie the title would make you think it is.
Another $3 DVD - The Devil's Rain! Oh man, it's rare that so many has-been and would-be celebrities have appeared in one 70's Satanic-exploitation film together. William Shatner, Tom Skeritt, Ida Lupino, Ernest Borgnine (as SATAN!), Eddie Albert, Keenan Wynn... oh yeah and a pre-famous Scientologist appears in the blink of an eye. Also w/ a DVD commentary by Robert Fuest, which is amusing in fits and starts, especially his impatience over the endless melting finale.
Please post more discoveries. I realized as I looked at Vengeance that it's not just Dark Sky but some IFC Films with these prices too.
Finally, in researching some of these titles, here's a complete list of DVD Talk's Dark Sky Films reviews: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/list....=0&NReviews=75

Thanks Deadpan! Couldn't resist that DEVIL'S RAIN for $5.92 shipped.
I did pick up a few of these at Half Price Books in February, including THE FLESH EATERS, but haven't watched any yet so can't recommend them. I too would like to know what other ones from the label are considered good. Some of the double features I was interested in aren't selling for the same relatively cheap prices.
