(DEAD) 25% off DVDs at Secondspin.com 'til 4/17

[Heat]

They're used DVDs, of course. I've never bought DVDs from them, but the CD's I've ordered have all been in great condition.

From an email I got from them:
SecondSpin.com is where you always get cheap prices on used music & movies, so when we have a sale, it's a big deal. Right now, save 25% on ALL DVDs...not a puny selection of lame titles, but ALL DVDs - movies, music videos, TV boxed sets, all of 'em.

Hurry though for the best selection and before this sale ends on Sunday, April 17th! Start shopping now!

[dadaluholla]

Thats pretty good. I browsed around and did a search for a few titles I was looking for but they didn't have much I wanted. I have bought cds from them before too and they were usually in pretty good condition. I used to find some HTF/rare cds too.

[Barth]

Thanks a lot for the post! The sale makes for great prices on the X-Files seasons. I'm finally getting closer to completing the collection.

[dick_grayson]

They've got Traffic: Criterion for 19 (including shipping)



EDIT: gone now

[pilot]

some pretty good deals on season sets.. search "season" .. star trek tng/ds9/voy all like $53 in change..some other goodies.. I'm tempted to buy some stuff..

[TheNightFlier]

Wow a lot of good stuff. My credit card might get a workout.

[the narrator]

thanks...i'm sure i'll be able to find some good stuff

[dick_grayson]

their website is pretty shitty (or maybe the server is being slammed) either way, it's taking forever for my order to go through

[FARRELLCITYKING]

Just picked up King of Queens: Season 1 for $15.71 + 3.59 in shipping and sales tax...

not bad considering most places i go selling used box sets, sell this for no less than $25

wish they had Everybody Loves Raymond....o well

[n.phelge]

One note: they place SKU barcode stickers over the actual product UPC and some of them use a pretty strong glue. If you are buying a box set, you may end up with a slightly torn or sticky cover.

[dadaluholla]

Ooooooh yeah. I remember their barcode stickers from buying cds. I just replaced the jewel case instead of attempting to pick it off. Stock up on your goo gone.
;)

[Upper pylon 3]

Thanks for the tip guys. I just ordered King of the Hill Season 2 and Futurama Vol 2 for 22.46 apiece. Shipping is cheap, but too bad they had to charge me sales tax. :mad:

[Geofferson]

Sounds like a nice deal...I"ll check it out. :up:

[pilot]

they also sometimes send out new, sealed product as used :)

[Eric F]

Picked up some anime I wanted. Better hurry, they sell out quick.

I just noticed they charged me sales tax too, and I live in Ma. Their FAQ says their "parent company" owns retail stores in certain states. Which company is that?

Trans World Entertainment I believe.

[gbub]

Awww. I got nailed with sales tax also, and I live in WI. That on top of getting an error page while submitting the order.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

yeah, i've found this to be true more than a few times
personally, i love this site.....i just wish they didn't have shipping/handling + sales tax

[Al Padrino]

I had about eight or nine titles in the cart until I went to checkout and saw that S/H and tax added almost $10. So I cleared out anything that wasn't essential and wound up with five. A lot of junk on the site, but my best find was the George Carlin Doin' It Again/Jammin' in New York set that retails for $25 (if you can find it), for $11.

[wewantflair]

[the narrator]

some of these are really good deals, but a lot of this stuff can be found cheaper(at least used) other places

[jmstone18]

Does anyone know if this sell is also available in their stores?

[nonametofame]

Does anyone know if this sell is also available in their stores?

I called their costa mesa store and the rep told me that the online site is considered a seperate entity from their retail stores. They have a different inventory and seperate promotions. No offers/sales for dvds at that particular store.

gonna get heat for this..

Pearl Harbor (Vista Series Director's Cut - 4 Disc) (DVD) 7 <s>$15.95</s> $11.96 (cheapest on dvdpricesearch, is like $17 shipped from north american dvd which is prolly a typo as they're useless, so it's probably more like 26, less 10% plus s/h from dvdsoon and a wait)

and if you really love the film,

Pearl Harbor DVD Gift Set (Feature Film/ Beyond The Movie) (2001) (DVD) 3 <s>$29.95</s> $22.46 (cheapest on dvdpricesearch is like $33 (less 10% plus s/h from dvdsoon, plus the wait)

[pilot]

they have some Universal Ultimate Editions as well ..Legend, The Mummy, Patch Adams each $8.21 ..(all are OOP?) ..American Pie UE R Rated & American Pie Unrated are $11.96 each..

Artisan's Stargate UE for $6.71 (I thinkie this is OOP) and they started to sell some lame 1 disc version instead..(who wants to bet Lions Gate revisits this within the next 6 months?)

[Tony Dvdfan]

Thanks Pilot...i just put in another order (first one was some individual dvds). I just ordered the Pearl Harbor set and the Matrix gift set.

Another great deal i noticed was the Schindler's List set for $14 and some change.

[Al Padrino]

The RoboCop trilogy is $15 and change for anyone interested. Thought that was a pretty good deal.

Godfather boxset is $33 and change.

Halloween 4 (Limited Edition - Tin Case) (DVD) 1 <s>$20.95</s> $15.71 (OOP but still available some places..) cheapest on dvdpricesearch 23.99 @ DDD

Highlander: Immortal Edition (Widescreen) Tin Case Bonus Queen CD (DVD) 9 <s>$10.95</s> $8.21 (not that big of a bargain..)

[dick_grayson]

also search "set" in the title and you'll get some good stuff too. I got the Steve Martin set (which has The Jerk), the Good, Bad & the Ugly Extended, Repoman Tin, and World is not Enough for $70 shipped.

[Michael Corvin]

Thought about picking up the two Spin City collections ($8 each) but I still have hopes for a season collection. "best of's" blow.

[gbub]

Christmas Story (Two-Disc Special Edition) $11.21 (vs. $17.95)
Windtalkers (Special Director's Edition)$11.96 (vs. $20.85)
Thin Red Line, The (Dts & Dolby - Widescreen)$8.21 (I think the dts version is OOP - I can't find it anyways)

Wish I would have thought about that Dracula Superbit. There's never going to be a SE is there?

I'm pretty sure that the DTS version is the only one that's still in print...the one that has Fox War Classics on the top has DTS.

[Al Padrino]

Got my order confirmation, but unfortunately, the Carlin DVD is somehow not in stock even though I ordered it and paid for it. My card wasn't billed for the DVD, but man, what a downer, since that was my big find.

[g]

they do that all the time canceling orders.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

Ahhhhh....
Now, if they'd only contact me in order to send it this way instead:D

[Johnny Zhivago]

I'm pretty sure that the DTS version is the only one that's still in print...the one that has Fox War Classics on the top has DTS.

For gbub... The Fox War Classics version (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005PJ8T.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) has both DD and DTS and it's still very much in print... Prior to the current printing, it was issued in DD form with the Melanesian songs extra (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6305438218.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) and as a DTS release sans the extras (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005221N.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg). Technically, both are OOP, although the Fox War Classics version is the same disc as the DTS release with a different cover, if I'm not mistaken. :)

[Brent L]

Both Seinfeld sets are $16.49 each, which sounds good to me. I'd jump all over it if I didn't already own them both.

[PotVsKtl]

Billy Wilder DVD Collection 9-Pack (DVD) $58.46

[FARRELLCITYKING]

ran across a few more Titles i thought were worth noting due to price:

Bruce Lee: Master Collection (5 Disk Set - Widescreen) = $15.71

for those into this show:
Dawson's Creek - The Complete First Season= $15.71
Dawson's Creek - The Complete Fourth Season (4-Disc Set) =$16.49


Jack Ryan Thriller Set (The Hunt For Red October/Patriot Games/Clear And Present Danger)= $18.71

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Fifth Year= $19.49

Cheers: Complete First Season= $15.74

Oz: Complete First Season (3 Disc)= $29.21

Punk'd: Complete Second Season= $10.46

Simpsons: Complete First Season= $15.71

South Park - The Complete First Season= $15.71

[gbub]

:hscratch: I guess I should have looked a little closer at those. The Fox Wars Classics one just looked to me like a barebones re-release. I assume I ordered this one http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005221N.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg. I suppose it's hopeless that it has a higher bitrate dts if it doesn't have the extras?

although the Fox War Classics version is the same disc as the DTS release with a different cover, if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, never mind.

Picked up:

Lol, This is sort of fun, sometimes you lose things, sometimes you find new things. :) I had been looking since yesterday around lunch and finally placed my order this afternoon. Lost South Park Season 1 and Seinfeld Season 3, but gained U2: Go Home Live.
Ended up getting:
Seinfleld Season 1&2
Project Greenlight Season 2
U2: Go Home Live
Nickelback The Videos

Seinfeld & Project Greenlight were way cheaper than anywhere else I looked. I've been trying to not buy as many dvds....but I can't keep away from the forum....then this deal comes along, lol.

:)

[Atreus]

Currently in stock: Octopussy and A View to a Kill at $15 each.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

just picked up KING OF QUEENS Complete Season 2= $15.71 to go with SEASON 1 i got a few days ago:D

[wewantflair]

Since they cancelled one of my orders without notice, they sent me a free shipping coupon that I will not be using, since it expires on April 30 and the sale ends today. It's one time use only, so please post if you use it.

[Elldubtoo]

I used the coupon to buy a Slint cd. Thanks.

[pilot]

found another decent bargain..

World War II Collection (Price For Peace/Shooting War/Saving Private Ryan, D-Day Edition) (DVD) $22.46

[g]

I successfully used the coupon too. thanks!

[Dmacsg1]

Just placed an order for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 3 and Pearl Harbor 4 disc director set!!

Many thanks to the OP for the linky to this site! I will be keeping tabs on this site from now on!

Take care all!!

[PotVsKtl]

Ugh.. they ran out of Sealab 2021 after I placed my order.

[Kal Varnsen]

If more than one person used the free shipping coupon then it wasn't one time use. What was the coupon code?

[Al Padrino]

This was the first and last time I order from them. Not only did they not have half of the things I ordered in stock, but my order is completely messed up. I ordered the Beavis & Butt-head Halloween/Christmas special. Instead, I got a different B&B-H DVD all together; one I have zero interest in. On top of that, I take the DVD out of the box and I can hear the disc rattling around inside. Then, my Magnificent Seven DVD is also going all over the place when I take it out of the box. I take off the plastic, open it up and to no surprise, there are scuffs and scratches all over the disc. I'll be emailing them about a return, but I'm absolutely turned off from ever buying from this place again.

[dick_grayson]

yeah, those stickers on the dvds (under the re-shrinkwrap) are really a pain. Also there were tears in the covers on a few of mine from other stickers having been removed poorly.

[btlives]

I'll be emailing them about a return, but I'm absolutely turned off from ever buying from this place again.

A couple of years ago I wrote a very long letter to Secondspin
with suggestions on how they could improve their shipment
of dvd's. I even enclosed pics and example with a order
I was selling them. All they had to do was put something
inside the dvd cases. And that would solve so many complaints.
But alas Nada. Its sort of like dealing over in the dvd trade
forum. Some traders ship box sets in bubble mailers
and do not put anything inside the cases.

Anyways..I now only sell to them. If you notice any dvd's
with 2 pieces of bubblewrap with a hole cut in them.
Those are probably mine. Unless they removed it
before shipping out.

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

For a suggestion-complaint like that, you are probably better off mailing it to the office of the CEO. His secretary might actually forward it to someone who cares, but mail sent to any of their regular customer service addresses is more than likely to go into the circular file. This is TWEC and they have such crappy processes at all levels of the company that you just can't count on them doing anything right.

[Al Padrino]

Should I just call; anyone had any experiences with returns with these guys? I've still gotten no response. Wow, bad product, lousy customer service. I'm definitely done with these morons.

[wewantflair]

They advertised Bride of Re-Animator SE and sent me the cheapie full frame instead. 48 hours, no response from e-mail CS. :(

Edit: They just sent me an e-mail crediting me for the total amount of the DVD plus telling me to keep it. If I wanted a refund I'd have to return it, but I figure I can find somewhere on that site to spend 15 bucks.

[xfilekr]

Yeah i wasn't too excited w/ the condition some of my stuff came in.
As picky as they are when I send them stuff (only accepting mint and perfect items) I recieved items that don't meet that same criteria.

Pain in the butt stickers, on boxsets, cd cases, broken digipaks, etc.

[forumsmy]

If you are looking for some Criterions, believe it or not, Ultimate Electronics has some -- even at their out-of-business sales. I saw atleast one I can remember, but I was just quickly scanning the DVD's to see what was there, so I do NOT know how many or which may be there. Because of this forum and the intro herein to it, the Criterion label stuck out to me and due to the "exclusivity" (IMHO) of the Criterion, it was surprising to me to see them in an Ultimate Electronics of all places.

YMMV.
