Between the time I took to check and see if the price for the Die Hard collection was the lowest it's ever been and adding it to my cart, it went up to $36.90. Doh!

Click the 40 New link. Amazon is still selling it for 20.49. Not sure why they are displaying the 3rd party first.

Oh, it looks like it won't ship for 9-13 days...

No, it didn't. It's still $20.49 as of the time of this post. ^See above.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)

Yet another example of amazon's tricky policy...if they run out of stock on something, but have a marketplace seller's copies on hand, they swap their price on the main listing for the marketplace vendor. Their (cheaper) price remains available, but only by clicking on the marketplace link. Has been going on for at least a few months now.

Not sure if this is intentionally "tricky," but it's definitely confusing. Just think of how often it's been raised on this board, and I think we're a lot more savvy than the general population.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Amazon list a fulfillment by Amazon seller over their own listing on the main page even when Amazon has stock. I won't trust my memory entirely but I think I've seen that before with as little of a price difference threshold of 5 cents.

Dementia keeps dropping but Poor Pretty Eddie is still stuck at $16.99. Does Amazon really think people will pay that much for a public-domain release? And while they're at it, Galaxina/Crater Lake Monster needs a price-drop as well.

Fiddler on the Roof (Two Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) $19.99

I grabbed this at Wal-Mart for 14.99. I'm sure that the price is YMMV as it always is with el Mercado de Wal.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I: $14.99 for the three-disc combo pack

...and the BD Deal of the Week is the Gone With the Wind Ultimate Collector's Edition at an astonishing $27.99.

I don't believe I've seen the GWTW box that low anywhere. If I didn't already own it, I'd be all over it.

Yup its the lowest and I am all over it like a well cook steak. I collect these. Now I just need the 10 Commandments (BTW I have a box set of Sound of Music to trade ) box set.

I knew it would fall eventually but didn't expect it quite this fast. Did this fall extremely fast or is it my imagination?

Is this worth the upgrade? I have read that the DVD is better. It's a dark movie (the time it was shot) so that I understand but the extras being hard to fine, the sound, etc.

I think a B&M (Target?) has Harry Potter for this price starting today. It's probably a price match of that deal.
