Why are Anchor Bay LEs so cheap at Best Buy?
I'm not complaining. I picked up the Heathers LE tin for $24.99 and the Suspiria LE for $27.99. I had just picked up the Wicker Man LE for $24.99 a few weeks ago.
How is Best Buy able to sell these so cheap? I'm guessing they have a deal with Anchor Bay. Considering how expensive the Anchor Bay LEs usually are I hope Best Buy keeps selling them this cheap.

yes, but the difference is the American Pie was a sale price, whereas the Anchor Bay's are priced that all the time (the price is on the sticker on the item).
same thing happens w/ A&E discs at deepdiscountdvd.com in that they are much cheaper there than anywhere else.
My guess is they have some partnership w/ them or one of their parent companies -

Doesn't Best Buy own the Suncoasts/Sam Goodys/etc. mall chains that are selling some of the Anchor Bays so cheap? I smell a conspiracy, and it smells good!

Off Topic but, as your forum financial adviser isnt the movie only versions such as "Heathers" enough. I mean I can see buying the L.Es like AOD, Wicker Man or others with a directors cut but titles like Susperia, Heathers and others have the same movie disc as the non L.E edition, why not save a buck or two and buy an extra title with all that dough?

The worst example of this was the Evil Dead II tin. The disc was the same and the booklet was basically worthless, so there was really no reason to buy the tin other than it being limited. That said I bought the tin anyway. Call me a sucker, but I get caught up in the collecting.
