Yeah! I was surprised to see the $1.50 price tags up! This was the last day of the store being open. The poor employees were swamped.

I bought 50 elite blu-ray cases from discmakers just for the HV and MG closings. In my neck of the woods, most blu-rays I've gotten at these closings haven't even been touched.

KrazyJason

Yeah, that's what i've noticed too. i'll have to check out discmakers, i'll be needing that many soon. I ordered 20 from the ebay guy for 13 bucks and have already used them up. not knocking him, but i really don't like the quality of the cases and the blu color is off.

Awesome! That's quite a haul!

I've been calling my 2 remaining stores a couple times per week, and they've been stuck at 50% off on BDs for over 2 weeks now and claim late July is there closing day. On my previous closing almost all BDs were long gone by the time they hit $4-$5 and none left after they hit $2. I'm not in an isolated neck of the woods.

Well, I'm jealous of that haul at those prices. I have 2 more chances to get some stuff there, but who knows when the 70% off BD deal is going to hit, and I forget to call daily (and I'm sure they'd get annoyed). Regardless, if I do find more stuff there, I'm sure it'll be a much smaller haul and the prices nowhere as good.

I've got to dig through old threads to find the best mail order place to buy about 30 regular BD cases. I say regular cases because I don't know the types. I just want the same type I'd get if I bought your average new BD. Best mail order place would be the best total delivered price... I suppose I could go as high as 50 cases, but I just need 30 now. I think those posts were somewhere in the giant HW Video $5.99 BD thread. If anyone feels like helping a lazy guy (i.e. me) by reminding/pointing me to the appropriate page of the right thread, that would help. Thanks.

Manzana: http://www.discmakers.com/shop/ItemD...D=BDR025-00001 Elite blu-rays case @ about .39 each. $5.50 UPS ground.

Went to a MG today in East Texas. All core and new release BDs were @ $5.99 which is pretty decent - and I was pretty selective. 95% of the discs I come across haven't been touched. No fingerprints, nothing. No wonder they're going out of business - no one was renting them. Can't wait until they hit the $3 range. I'll be hitting a few of these in the next few weeks as they continue to drop. Some stores are still at $10-12 bucks in the general vicinity, one has probably 275-300 blu-rays left. Anyway, ended up spending $64 for these 10:



Edit - Sorry. My G1's camera is awful.

So, they up the discounts every Sunday? I may have to head back to the one in Marion, NC tomorrow (I was just there Saturday) as there were definitely a few BD's I would pick up for $7.50 (which should be the price assuming they went to 70% off) that may not be there with further discounts.

MrTerrific

On the last day of the sale at the MG in Griffin, Ga the BDs were 90% off! The DVDs were 99 cents apiece. Might be a store by store thing, but worth checking out on the last day.

KrazyJason

Did you pick up anything saturday? Be sure to call before you go up. They are still at 60% on BD, 5.99 new DVD, and 3.50 core DVD. Suck. I guess they're making plenty of money. I'm calling as soon as they open today and heading up if they've dropped blus to 70%.

KrazyJason

Ok, i think you are officially in the running for the haul award in this thread. And great titles too, not picked through. You have several that i'm jealous of. C'mon Marion, NC give up the big deals. Problem is there are a bunch of people lurking around that swoop in last day and buy up every last bluray. Spread the love. Of course, if it was the right deal, i would be tempted too.

MrTerrific

A couple in line in front of me had HUNDREDS of DVDs and Blu-Rays. I was mad that I hadn't gotten there before them(because they had some blu-rays I wanted) but I respected their taking advantage of a good thing.

Today's the last day in Hastings, NE...

I stopped by HW Video today which has been stuck at 60% off BDs for the last 3 weeks. There was not 1 BD I wanted at $6.80 (60% off $16.99) or above except Marley & Me, but since it didn't have the SD DVD (I don't care about the digital copy) I passed at that price. I passed on Run Fatboy Run at $5 on a previous store closing before I had seen the movie, so my OCD wouldn't allow me to pay $1.80 more even if it means I miss it. Every time I tell myself I have plenty of other stuff to watch and life will go on. That seems to work. So I left empty handed and decided there's nothing I want bad enough at that store even for $4 or $5 to go back until the last few days before closing and maybe I can pick up a few cheap dregs. I guess I hit all the other stores at 80-90% off since the most expensive BD I bought at HW Video was $5.

KrazyJason

Our store dropped to 5.99 for all blurays. We went yesterday. Below is the link to the video we made for that trip.

KrazyJason

Thank you! We love doing it.

KrazyJason

You got some good stuff there. I was really jazzed to get The Box. Alot of people hated it, but i thought it was glorious.

Well, my wife called while passing by a Movie Gallery near her work. Sign said "Last 4 Days" so she went in and scoped it out for me. All BDs were $3.99, so she called out some of the titles on the phone and I told her what I wanted. There were probably a 100 or so left, so I'm heading back in the morning. But this haul included:
Yes Man
Vantage Point
Management
Rocker
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Julie & Julia
It Might Get Loud
Public Enemies
Bangkok Dangerous
Be Kind Rewind
Ghost Town

Several of these I would've never thought of unless they were priced @ $4 each.

I am running out of blank elite cases.
