View Full Version : Have the Family Ties seasons ever been on sale?

I was hoping when season 3 came out that the first 2 seasons would be $19.99 or so, because the seems to happen with SO many tv shows in this price range when a new season comes out, but there were no sales at all.

I did a search of this forum and the only sale on the show seems to have been a one time thing with amazon where season 1 sold for $11.99. That seems more like a mistake than anything like a real sale.

But I also notice many posters in that thread saying how 6 months or a year later, tv shows dropped quite a bit or they were on sale more often. Well, I've had Family Ties in my wishlist for a long time looking for that kind of thing and I've seen nothing.

Is there any particular reason this show doesn't go on sale? Like Felicity has never been on sale and it's REALLY expensive.

I just wanted to see if anyone knew if this trend of the price staying where it is (not counting possible end of the year crazy, holiday sales) because season 4 is now coming out this summer and if the first 3 won't likely be offered for $19.99 like the no sales when season 3 came out, I think I'm just gonna start buying them now instead of forking over more than $100 in August with no sales at all.

Thanks.

I can almost guarantee that as soon as you go out and buy them, they'll be on sale somewhere! ;)

You're correct in remembering season 1 being available for $11.99 through Amazon previously. I picked up season 2 used at a local store at a great price. Otherwise, I've made the same observation as you. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to buy them as a bundle at some point.

According to some of my notes, DeepDiscount had S2 for $23.42 and S3 for $23.62 some time ago (I don't keep dates so it might've been during a 20% off sale). Right now they are several dollars higher, so I'd suggest keep waiting, and if you can't wait too long you should be able to get them for around $23.xx each when the next DD 20% off sale occurs.

I've been very firm on my rule of not paying more than $20 for a TV season set. Recently I finally got the last Seinfeld set for $17 and Everybody Loves Raymond set for $15 after waiting a long time.

Bumping this thread since Best Buy has Seasons 1-4 on sale for $19.99 each. I'm going to take my receipt back to get a price adjustment since I paid $24.99 on August 9th for Season 4.

Family Ties Seasons 1-4 $19.99 each (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=pcat17071&type=page&ks=960&st=Family+ties&sc=Global&cp=1&sp=&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q46616d696c792074696573~~ccat02015%23%230%23%237~~f472||54656c65766973696f6e~~nf1||243135202d2024 32342e3939&list=y&usc=All+Categories&nrp=15&iht=n)

The sign on the shelf said it was good through the 27th.
