Big Lots Part 4

[FlamedLiquid]

I'm willing to buy a Looney Tunes set for $25 if someone can find an extra set. Please PM me if you do.

[zombeaner]

I'd be happy to trade a Wonder Woman Complete for the Looney Tunes set.

A post a while ago mentioned that FYE was now offering $3 for most of the Warner Bros. boxed sets that it had previously been offering $10-$30 for. Has anyone else confirmed if this is true?

Pinky and the Brain Volume 2 was going for $9 plus 20% extra for the brown bag promotion yesterday. My brother tried to trade a copy in tonight and it came up at only $3.

Does anyone have a pic or link to what this Lakers set looks like? I am a HUGE SPORTS fan and would like to know what I am looking for. Any help is much appreciated.

Also is Nip Tuck S 4 Standard DVD or BLu-Ray that Big Lots got in?

Saw 4 of these yesterday that have been on the shelf at a store for more than a week. Going back tomorrow. Let me know if you need one.

[doctaheath78]

Also forgot to ask is anyone on the EAST COAST finding the Lakers sets or is that a WEST COAST THING?

Chop2Chip10...................thank you so much for the offer. I did just start my Big Lots hunt today so can I let you know. I hope to find it by me but if not I will let you know and send you some money for your time.

So I am guessing this is a regualr deal Big Lots has and not a sale that ends on Saturday

Any confirmation?

There have been reported sightings of both. The Derby, CT location only had the SD version(multiple copies).

Thanks for that (sad) confirmation. Even if FYE got flooded with those WB sets, $3 is a ridiculously low price for many of them. It sounds like somebody at corporate found out and decided to punish all those looking to turn a little profit by knocking all of the WB sets down to $3 each. Quite an overreaction, IMHO!

I remember how FYE employees used to tell me their rule of thumb was that they turn around and sell DVDs for about 4x what they paid, so $3 would mean we should be seeing these WB sets all sell for $12 used at FYE, right...? Dream on... FYE will probably still price them for the same ridiculous amounts as always.

[doctaheath78]

That is what Wal-Mart and Target are for....................oops I didn't say that.

I was in the local store (Atlanta,Ga) earlier today and someone was trading in some sets listed here. I don't remember all of them but he had Roots, Wonder Woman complete series and History of rock n roll. He had some others but I wasn't looking that well. Anyways, FYE was offering 3 dollars for these titles. The guy was having a fit lol, he thought he was going to get A LOT more than that! It was funny, because they guy kept asking "Please scan it again, that can't be right!".

So I don't know if FYE's trade value has dropped because of massive trades of these titles, or if someone at FYE got wise and told the higher ups. I did notice this store had 2 used copies of Roots for 35 bucks!

I love it! kudos to fye! let all the hording profitteers that had big dollar signs in thier eyes get stuck with thier purchases. let them go buy them at best buy for 6 bucks then fye offer them 3 for them. flood them on ebay and watch them drop down to 4 or 5 bucks each on there

No offense dude...................but people are allowed to be able to make a few dollars on stuff. With the way the economy is there is nothing wrong with that. If you don't believe in doing that, that is your business, but that is pretty F#*&ed UP that people that spent time buying these items in the hopes of making money (in some cases less than $6 profit) and driving to different stores don't make anything.

You seriously need to realize what KARMA is. What goes around comes around.

Just my 2 CENTS.

[Alan Smithee]

It's MORE F#*&ed UP that people are spending time looking for these items to KEEP and ENJOY, but they can't get them because some dipshits bought them all just to resell for more than what they paid for them!

I say losing money is great KARMA for those people.

As far as those of us who have been unable to find anything thanks to the profiteers grabbing everything are concerned - this is KARMA!

[2sday]

Yeah, honestly Manzana, shut the hell up and stop bitching...
"Ohs noes i hate my job soo much and i cant even have time to flip my dvds!"

Firstly, every one of us has a job the we hate. And all of our jobs prevent us from doing shit we like. Thats life. Get over it.
Secondly, You complain you don't have time to go to FYE and flip your extra DVD sets, which is a disgusting thing to do to begin with. Thats fuckin awesome FYE is giving the middle finger to little dirty flipping scumbag hoarders. IMHO, they should be beaten to death.
Thirdly, that fact that you found sets like WW Complete and Blu-rays are amazing. That puts you WAY ahead of most posters on this thread. Personally, out of literally over 40 sets I want from this thread, I found 3.

Seriously, so much shit is wrong in your 3 posts of constant whining. You are sad that have a job (which is a privelage BTW), you are sad you can't flip DVDs (which is a disgrace BTW), and all the while you should be jumping for joy that you are employed and found GREAT deals at Big Lots.

Are you calling my brother a dipshit?

Noghing wrong with people who actually want the these sets not being able to find them because of people like you who are just looking to make a quick buck? Right!



You want money, get a real job.

[doctaheath78]

BTW.................wanted to clarify my comments. I do not mean people buying 4 or more of each copy is right.

I do see nothing wrong with buying 2 or 3 of a DVD selling 1 or 2 of them and making the profit to cover the 1st one plus a little extra. I do agree that buying MULTIPLES (in excess of 4 or more) of the same title in the hopes to sell them is goign over board, but being able to make a profit on an extra one or 2 to cover the cost of the one you are going to keep.....there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

People are allowed to agree or disagree..........thats what makes this counrty great.

Personally speaking I like the thrill of the hunt and helping people out which I have done numerous times on this site and I will be sure to do that with BIG LOTS stuff.

I will be sure to check the The Unofficial "Big Lots" Exchange Thread to help my fellow DVD collectors out.

It's actually surprising that it took this long for the ethical debate of flipping to rear it's ugly head. My personal take on the issue is that I don't engage in the practice myself. I also understand the disappointment of not being able to score on a deal where others, including flippers, have. I don't have sympathy for flippers if they don't make a profit(including my brother). However, I also don't hate their guts if they do. Last I checked, we're still operating in a capitalist market and at the end of the day, it's just DVDs.

I hate to break it to you... Big Lots allows unopened returns for a FULL REFUND with receipt up to 30 days after purchase. Many things may happen in this world, but I'm not going to be stuck with any of these extra sets nor will I lose a single penny because I have my receipts and haven't opened anything. You seem to think that I bought wheelbarrows of extra sets... nope... just a few extras of ones I thought were valuable like WW Complete, Smallville BD, and a few others. I will return all of the ones I don't want to keep myself for a FULL REFUND within 30 days. I would've gone to Big Lots anyway to look for the sets for myself. Just one extra trip to return and maybe 15 minutes wasted. Absolutely zero loss to me.

Since there are so many anti-capitalists here (who probably think it's cool that the people they elected are trying to end capitalism in this country) who get bent out of shape and want to send people to the gulag because they bought a few extra sets to flip at FYE for a little money, I've also lost my inclination to trade my extra sets here.

Yeah, I shouldn't have whined about my job or been quite so cynical. I just had a really bad day at work today. Sometimes my cynical side slips out when I'm frustrated, but I forgot how viciously I get attacked every time. Of course there are some reasonable people like Sweet Baby James who remains correctly neutral. I'm not in favor of filppers either, and I ALMOST NEVER do it myself, but I don't feel bad about doing it. It's not illegal or a crime, though I think many here would like to make anyone who makes a profit a criminal and put them in jail. In fact, it's been years since I've flipped anything because I rarely find deals. This was one of the first times I was planning to, and now I won't be able to because of FYE. People can rightly say "good for FYE" and ha-ha all day long, but it's not necessary to call me names and wish harm on me. That's going too far. I just have to laugh how I HAVEN'T EVEN FLIPPED ANY DVDS YET, and the lynch mob is already out for blood. Now I'm not only not going to trade anything to FYE, I'm not going to trade these extra sets here when I'm sure some people would've liked to get them. I honestly forgot how many anti-capitalists are here and I'm afraid some of them would feel morally justified not completing their end of the trade because they read in this thread that some evil person named Manzana had once DARED consider flipping a handful of DVD sets for maybe $10-$20 profit each.

Thanks for reminding me why I lurk more often than post. I think that flippers who buy lots of DVDs are nasty hoarders, but I don't wish harm on them. I do hope they don't make much money either, but I would be the last one who would try to stop them from buying or flipping or try to harm them because I believe in freedom and the Constitution. Capitalism is and always will be better than socialism. That's my opinion. I'll shut up now, as I was instructed.

[doctaheath78]

Hey Manzana, I was on your side to there. LOL. :0 I too had a bad day at work and actually QUIT and walked out only to work things out later in the day with my boss.
I can completely understand and don't let a few bad apples ruin it. This site is great and I AM GLAD I FOUND IT. Anyone that wishes harm on someone else WHEN THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL NEEDS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOR A REALITY CHECK.

I'd just like to find a copy of "Animaniacs Vol. 3".

I wouldn't mind that Looney Toons collection box though (I have the sets already), then I could keep all my volumes together.
