Amazon's Lightning DVD Deal (10/29) - Not yet disclosed - Starts at 0600 PST

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/105-7824752-0130801

Clue is

"Are you a fan of Tom Selleck or Robert B. Parker?"

Guesses ?

Did a bit of googling. Perhaps this is a Jesse Stone collection (whatever that is). Parker wrote some books about a character named Jesse Stone and these were turned into movies with Tom Selleck.

The Jesse Stone Film Collection (3 movies). Normally $42.99. If it's cheap enough, I might bite, but they are rather expensive DVD movies.

I'm quite shocked they didn't drop it down to $24.99 making it below the free shipping threshold...

Good point, but I think these are added at the original price and then the discount is taken out at checkout, which means you'd get free shipping anyways - I think, correct me if I am wrong.

I'm looking forward to the Electronics deal later.

You are correct. I bought the "Mr. Bean The Whole Bean" from last weeks deal for $18.99 and still got the free shipping.

Really weird. There is nothing at all listed under lightning deals for me. And, I was really interested in this one.

Seems that Amazon is having a problem, as there are similar posts in their forum.

Buy it now and have Amazon credit you the difference. I think they will.

Or try going here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

It won't sell out anyway. It's only at 47%.

Thanks for the suggestion. I called Amazon and after explaining myself about 3 times, the CSR was able to honor the earlier deal. She had me place an order at the full price, and then she manually adjusted the cost.

The rep was friendly and helpful, but had no idea what a lightning deal was. I had to lead her to that portion of the website and explain how lightning deals work. She couldn't even find the "deals and bargains tab." Seems half of Amazon's problem may be that their own reps are not familiar with their website.

Anyway, I got the deal and am grateful. This was on a family member's Christmas wishlist, and I was able to get it for the cost of a bit of change in a coinstar machine!

Thanks, guys!
