I'd like to get All-Star Superman, but it seems to be the current Kiss of the Spider Woman so I'm afraid to pull the trigger too early

Amazon pricing theory
I think Amazon has an automatic "mechanism" set up for pricing, that follows an algorithm to achieve a certain volume in sales per item. Then it adjusts the price to achieve that volume. So the more people buy, the higher the price, the fewer buy, the lower the price, within some limit of course. I think this because I see price adjustments on hot items several times an hour, even in the middle of the night. I have no proof for this theory.

$34.49 isn't bad at all. Thanks for the heads-up on the coupon.
UPDATE $32.49. Noticed the $2 price drop.

I just bit on All-Star Superman. That should guarantee it will drop another dollar or two or three. You are all welcome.

So happy to finally scoop up Saving Private Ryan especially at that price. My Spielberg Blu-ray collection is all caught up now. Thanks Lizard!
