CYBER55 is the code

They emphasize price reduction is off of list price not online price.

Not good on preorders.

They used to have great sales before they latched onto this percentage off the SRP business. I guess with the declining market they just can't afford substantial discounting anymore. Two years ago they had a great Black Friday sale with $4.99 titles that were not part of their same old bargain bin selections. Oh well, if anyone finds good deals, please post.

Given the current market, is 55% a good deal? That is, are VCI likely to have a better sale in the next 45 days? For once, a VCI sale is happening concurrently with a time when I want to buy some VCI titles.

55% is the highest percentage off they have had in the past two years. It's unlikely they will go any higher in the near future. But I have no inside information, just basing this on their pattern of sales for the past two years which has always maxed out at 50% off SRP.

Good enough. I just placed a small order. In contrast to historical complaints, the checkout process worked without a glitch. I'd originally wanted 5 DVD's, but one is now out of print ("Meet John Doe") and the other has gone DVD-R ("The Amazing Mr. X"), so I bought just three

Horrors of the Black Museum / The Headless Ghost
The Prowler
Svengali

The latter is a double feature, and although it's sold out on Amazon (with the bloodsuckers asking $75+ for new copies), VCI has them on clearance for $4.49. Includes the 1954 version and the 1931 version as a bonus...or maybe the other way around? I'm concerned that it's a DVD5 with high compression, but at this price I'll take the chance.
