Didn't Gamestop stop selling DVDs? And, no, I haven't bought used DVDs there or used games for that matter. Like I said, I don't care if something used is being sold (I actually buy a lot of CDs this way) just as long as it's not being sold/presented as new.

I picked up The Relic the other day. The price was too tempting. Of course, I finally break down and get prime just for this sort of stuff and despite being in stock when I ordered it's now back-ordered.

The point he was trying to makes is that Gamestop opens product to put empty boxes on shelves, but then turns around and still tries to sell that product to you as new, even though for all you know the employees could have been playing it.

And, I did see that Cliffhanger was cheap. It was in my Quick Picks yesterday and I bit.

IMO, avoid pieceofmindmedia/pieceofmindbooks/sourcemedie/noram or whatever name(s) they use now as they have in the past been known for this on more occasions than could be explained by accidents.
With Amazon' lack of quality control measures for third party and fulfillment sellers, buying from a trusted seller is crucial for anyone wanting definite new items.

Amazon is going to have an Ice Age three-pack as a Lightning Deal at 2 p.m. Pacific. Don't know if it's Blu (though it'd be lame if it wasn't
).
).

The Marketplace seller listed here are to be avoided at all costs. They constantly list things as NEW or LIKE NEW that are anything but. I bought a "LIKE NEW" title from them that looked like Jim Carrey had flossed his teeth with.
The return through Amazon was smooth, but with the way this seller consistently mis-grades and over-grades items, I have no idea why Amazon continues to fulfill their sales and process their returns and refunds. I have a feeling they would have a lot more negative feedback if Amazon wasn't involved in settling their disputes. You would think there would be stricter guidelines for Fulfillment sellers seeing as how they allegedly have Amazon fronting for them.

I've bought from pieceofmindmedia around 20 times and have never had a negative experience. If prices are close to other sellers, I always choose them over anyone else.

Pieceofmindmedia is very hit-or-miss, I have had several bad transactions buying from them. They often will re-shrinkwrap media (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) items and try to pass them off as new. It has happened too many times for it to be anything but a conscious act on their part.
I avoid them whenever possible now, unless they are significantly cheaper than trusted sellers.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
Just out of curiosity guys, does anyone know when the last time the BSG: Complete Series BD set was either the Deal of the Day, Lightning Deal, or Blu-ray Deal of the Week? I've wanted to get it for the last week or so but I'm trying to decide to wait and see if it pops up soon or just get it. If it's been either of the above recently, I know not to bother waiting and just purchase it.
I don't think $150 is that bad of a price for the set anyways..

According to this, it was a few dollars cheaper at the beginning of the year.
