Family Video....99 cent mystery DVD - Page 2

It will be funny if they cancel again and issue another coupon for ordering five of them.

EdTheRipper · 10-17-08, 08:45 PM

I gave it a shot.

signal12 · 10-17-08, 09:54 PM

I ordered 5 also and it is showing Marked for Review. I guess we will see.

Whoops.

Oh well.

I could only get 1 for $2.06 shipped. A dollar for a mystery dvd and I was gonna bite...$2 + for one, I'll pass.

TheJoker · 10-17-08, 11:48 PM

I think ill use my $5 off code on this....

EDIT: Total for 5 movies for me after coupon was $2.39

Not bad.....I wouldnt have used that $5 off on anything else really so....might as well. Hope I get something good.

Does anyone think any of the stuff will be good?

I almost bit, but then decided it wasn't worth the trouble. It will either be stuff I don't want, or stuff I already own.

Junk at $1 is still junk.

I do it for fun! I mean its like Woot.com's bag of crap! You dont know what your getting, but when you get it, its all the fun finding out.

Groucho · 10-18-08, 01:02 AM

Looks like I got my order of 5 entered in time. Status is "Shipped".

cinemaphile · 10-18-08, 01:36 AM

how are you guys getting free shipping? is there a code out there to use?

TheJoker · 10-18-08, 01:39 AM

I should really read more closely!! lmao

Kal Varnsen · 10-18-08, 02:23 AM

Is that free shipping code one time use per account?

ElCambio · 10-18-08, 02:47 AM

Not to rain on the parade, but these are going to be DVDs that are so bad that they only way they could sell them, even for $1, is to keep you from knowing what they are.
And yes, I ordered one for myself!

Sorraffy · 10-18-08, 03:04 AM

well I was trying to put 5 in my cart, but the quantity kept being changed back to 1 so I kept trying a couple of more times to get 5 and it kept changing back to 1 so finally I put in a quantity of 10 just for the heck of it and *gasp!* it showed up as 10 on the order confirmation page.

So when I found out that would work and went back to my cart and changed the total to 4 and that worked as well!

Seems like so many people ordered 5 they put a stop to that, but that was the only quantity they put a stop to since any number other than 5 seems to work.

yeah, but like a previous person said, even if theyre crap, i can get $2-$3 each selling to my local used disc store. 100% profit or more!

Maybe they have some Big Lots like quality overstock. Or not.

kenbenobi · 10-18-08, 03:31 AM

For those that were able to order 5 (or more), all we really need is one quality title out of the 5 to make the deal worth it. For a $5 investment, it's worth the gamble, and it's fun. And even if all 5 titles suck, they could make cheap Christmas gifts, or you could even return some after Christmas as gifts. So there really isn't much to lose... My order shows "shipped" as well...

cinemaphile · 10-18-08, 03:45 AM

Oh wow. I had been assuming they were used DVD's. But now I see there's nothing to indicate that. $1 NEW dvd's? I wish I could go for 10!

No matter what I try, it only allows me to have one in my cart.

Oh well, I really don't want to do this...but would forever be kicking myself if anyone got anything good.

leahcim · 10-18-08, 07:24 AM

When you love movies, I think ordering 5 for $5 is very fun. I cannot wait to see what I get.

I am thinking that 1 out of every 10 or so will be a great DVD valued at over 20.00, just to keep customers buying. If they handed out Dr. Giggles to everyone, no one would ever buy again.

There was a reason the .99 mystery DVD was #1 ranked on Family video when I found it.

I would be happy if I got Dr. Giggles!!! That would be awesome!

I just tested it, and had no problem changing the quantity to 7 and I'm to the last screen of the checkout process. Now I just added another one, and it went up to 8. I'm not sure what your problem is, but it definitely lets you have more than 1. I even changed it to 5 (which someone else said you couldn't do). I'm using Firefox, if that matters...
EDIT: I decided "what the hell" and just placed another order for 5 more. So it positively works. And the coupon is multiple use as well...

RobCA · 10-18-08, 11:43 AM

What the hell, I'm in for 5. I had no problem with that quantity either, and I'm also using Firefox.
