Ok so I signed up for the club, to bolster my Disney collection on classic animation. I was looking for another DVD to get and I found Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse In Black & White. Now I know how searching for DVD's go, sometimes stuff is mislabeled and you think you are getting one thing and you get another. And this one also displayed an image for Volume 2.

So on a whim, I ordered it and totally expected it to be volume 2. The box came yesterday and son of a...there it is, Volume 1, the long OOP version in the tin and numbered. So I figured I would share this with everyone, in the hopes that they can get one too.

I don't have any pics handy, but I can certainly take a few if requested.

There is only one catch to this, you have to be a member of the club. Once you are a member, search for Walt Disney Treasures and click on the first Mickey Mouse in Black & White. It will show a picture for volume 2, but it is indeed volume 1.

This doesn't surprise me. There's a history of OOP tins showing up there. On several occasions, I purchased OOP wave 1 releases there and turned around and resold them fairly quickly for significant profits. I no longer look for deals like this, but it was fun and profitable when I did.

Good luck, and happy hunting.

That has been in-stock there as long as I can remember. And for those looking to profit from it, here is the catch: you can only order a maximum of 3 per household on any DVD from the club.

Yup, nothing new. I got the whole first wave there when supposedly the whole first wave was out of print. It was even a package deal where they were cheaper than they were in stores.

How many of the OOP titles are on there? I'd sign up for the club just to pick them up since I missed out on them when they were still in stores.

OK. I was just wondering, it appeared as though you were answering the post above yours that asked what OOP titles were on the site. I was confused, because I'm a member, and I surely would have noticed if Goofy was still available on the site.

wish there was Davey Crockett

Fair warning: I used to buy and resell from DMC. Disney monitors Amazon and eBay for this practice. I was quickly booted out of the club, and sent a large bill for my "free" introductory items.

DeltaSigChi4

Wait, how would they connect the eBayer with you, a Disney club member, unless they won one of your auctions just to compare the seller name with a club member? And that would be sly on their part. Too sly. And costly too.

I would think the same thing, but I wouldn't doubt it. My mom is a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! (a company that sells rubber stamps). They have been known to look for demonstrators selling stamps (and even crafts made with their stamps) on e-bay. Somehow they can find out. Maybe they look for e-mail addresses or something. I'm not sure. But I'm sure whatever way they do it, there's a way around it (i.e. let someone else sell it for you ).

Shenanigans. There is nothing in the Club's terms and conditions that forbids resale of introductory selections (or any other selections, for that matter). I'm not even sure such a provision would be legal. Also, it would be next to impossible for Disney to determine which of the hundreds of auctions were being supplied with introductory selections, let alone connect any particular auction with a particular Club member.

Sounds like someone is trying to scare away the competition...

Here is a quote from the DMC Agreement


"Membership in the Disney Movie Club is limited to customers residing in the United States and its territories and may be withdrawn at any time. Membership is intended for personal use only. Movies purchased through the Disney Movie Club are not intended for resale or other commercial purposes. Violations to this policy are strictly prohibited."

JerryKILL

The previous quote from redmike is correct. Reselling is prohibited by DMC. I dealt with this for over a year. Disney was able to tell me all of the details of the items I sold on eBay. They actively monitor auctions and apparently try to match up items to DMC members.

I fought this hard. When I refused to pay, Disney used a collection agency. Then I got harassing phone calls and letters. However, I wrote a lengthy letter to the collection agency explaining my side of the story. I felt I was misled by Disney, since they only disclose the full terms of the club after you join, including the prohibition on reselling. It is buried in a booklet they mail with your "free" DVDs. Anyway, I have not heard any more from the collection agency for about 6 months now.

dx23

I find that clause stupid, since you can find most of their intoductory releases at any online or B&M store. How can they prove that you are selling what they sent you instead of any DVD you may have purchased anywhere else?

ResIpsa

Well, I stand corrected, although there is nothing in the terms and conditions provided when you first sign up that prohibits resale. To stick that term in AFTER you sign up, as JerryKILL describes, is a bit underhanded.

redmikeu2

There are exclusives to the Disney Movie Club, so maybe they are targeting this.

bloopbleep

after paypal and ebay fees , the profit isn`t much.especially if they only limit 3.example.the so called hot Walt Disney Treasures:Mickey Mouse in Black & White tin vol. 1 averages out at $35 dollars on ebay, disney club sells it for 29.99. maybe a year ago but not now. people want blu-rays now.

Illini Jeeper

Drats, I was hoping to see the first wave Disneyland one on there.

bmello

I would imagine it will be a while before you see the Disney Treasures in Blu-ray. Like maybe after they release Cinderella VI direct to video.

so it goes

I would suggest calling them to see if they have certain titles. Awhile back I got a few of the Treasures from them that where not listed on the web site but where available when I called.

comanche_doyle

the new catalog I just received had the davy crockett one listed for 29.99.

bloopbleep

what I meant to say was the mickey mouse black n white tin was going for over a 100 dollars on ebay a year ago now averages 35 dollars . big price difference.
