20% off DVDs at secondspin.com
Just got an e-mail from secondspin.com saying that all DVDs are 20% off through 7/18. Haven't really looked if there are good deals or not, just wanted to pass this on.

Note that secondspin.com and wherehouse.com are two websites fronting the same inventory (don't ask me why). Prices and shipping on some items may differ between the two sites, but they are usually close, so do the math before you make a purchase to see which one works out for the best deal.

The bad thing about Second Spin is that not only do they charge shipping charges but sales tax too. What I don't understand is why? I don't have a Second Spin or Wherehouse anywhere in my state.

We do have an FYE. I guess that's why. Thanks for the info.

Thanks OP for pointing out the sale.
Picked up the Thin Man Collection for $26, along with two Woody Allen films.
If anyone's interested, Cries and Whispers: Criterion is available for $11.99.

The one thing I don't like about secondspin and wherehouse is that if you buy the last copy of a DVD, there is a chance you will not get it because of their inventory system. I have had this happen to me on a ton of things, just be sure to look at your order history once the items ship out and make sure nothing was canceled.

Hopefully, the rest of the items I ordered will still ship.

All of my stuff is still "in progress" it sucks because almost everything I bought besides a couple movies were the last DVD in stock at the time. I hope I don't get burned on anything because I want these movies bad.

Their shipping sucks. I've never received a cd in which the jewel case wasn't in a thousand pieces. When contacted they will offer you 50 cents for the broken case. Dvd are a mixed bag. Some are okay, others come pretty beat up. If they ship your order in a box, thumbs up! If in their crappy white, sticky bubble wrap, thumbs down...

I can't find the Rambo Trilogy anywhere on their site. Can you post a direct link to it?
