Checked back at the Costco today. Most interesting was a new batch of Bond sets tagged $43- the price they had temporarily in December after a $10 instant rebate. These were sitting beside the leftovers from previous shipments, still with the old price of $53 on them.

Good price for those still looking.

Welcome to 2 weeks ago. They are going to be at a better price starting tomorrow, when they have $10 off $43.99, for a final price of $33.99.

is this price only available in store and not online? there is no Costco where I live.

Sweet Baby James

They're not currently available online. This isn't an instant rebate, it's an actual coupon that must be give to the cashier, so you wouldn't be able to get the $10 off online. You would also have to pay shipping. Your best bet would be to get someone near a Costco to pick up a copy for you and reimburse them the shipping.

The coupon says "Also available at costco.com," although I'm not sure how you enter a coupon at their site.

JoeR63

Costco.com typically deducts the coupon amount automatically during the time period that the coupon is active. The downside, as already mentioned, is that you usually have to pay shipping.

Off to Costco today to complete (hopefully) the last two Bond sets.

TheJoker

I just got the coupons today! So off to Costco sometime this week....

DVDGamer

I got Volume 4 for $33.99 after coupon. Its funny that the James Bond DVDs were not displayed, and were actually underneath the table where dvds were displayed. Should have waited for this sale before I grabbed the first three! Oh well....

...And I'll promise to myself that I'll never buy a newer James Bond Set again, even if it were a Super Special Ultimate Edition ; )

Son of a....

Think Costco will let me match their price from 2 weeks ago? Be nice to get $20 back.

Sweet Baby James

They probably will, but if they don't, then just buy it now with the coupon and return it with your receipt from 2 weeks ago.

How do you get a coupon? Are these available when you walk into the store? Or are they mailed to Costco members? Do you need 4 coupons if you want to get all 4 sets, or does one coupon cover them all?

Sweet Baby James

They are mailed to members. However, you can usually find them at the store(at the Member's Services desk, at the register, discarded coupon sheets inside shopping carts, etc). The door person will also sometimes hand them out as you enter the store. There's no limit for the coupon, so 1 coupon is all that you'll need.

rexinnih

Picked up #3 and 4 today. Had to tell the cashier to scan the coupon twice as it's "unlimited." Make sure they don't just take $10 off if you buy multiple sets.

Jtheo

I picked up #1 and #2.

Great deal. They were marked 53.89, rang up 43.99 then 10.00 off each set. They had 2 boxes full, with most of them being volumes 1 and 2. They only had 1 copy of volume 4.

Karl LaFong

Sorry. Didn't see your post 2 weeks ago informing of a $10 price reduction on the Bond sets before the coupon was applied. Must have missed it.

Sweet Baby James

No need to apologize. Sometimes we need new threads to inform us of particularly hot deals. I'm sure a lot of Bond fans would have missed it in the regular Costco thread.

costanza

my cashier scanned the coupon once and it came out as $40 off. got all four sets for $150. not too shabby.

jimmaxmed

Now I'm assuming you have to BE a member of Costco to take advantage of this. Or is there a loophole around that ???

Sweet Baby James

I think that you can get a 1 day pass. However, you'll have to pay 5%(I think that it's 5%, not completely certain) more for your purchases. You might want to ask any DVD Talker in the RI area to hook you up. In the past, I've bought box sets for fellow DVD Talkers and met them in front of the store to exchange the sets for what I paid.

jimmaxmed

Thanks SBJ for the 1-day-pass hint. I'll have to break out the calculator to see if the 5 or whatever percent still keeps the price interesting.

Trevor

Well, you could join and then quit up to 364 days later and get all your money back.

Sweet Baby James

Once you join, you won't quit.

jimmaxmed

I'd probably wind up quitting cause the closest one to me is almost an hour away. And at TODAY'S gas prices................

Sweet Baby James

True. However, my local Costco sells gas too and usually at 15 to 20 cents cheaper a gallon than anywhere else.
