Unless he's an ebay reseller, that would explain a lot.
Who did that and what did they buy? I have to say I have done my share of blind buys The Shield, LOVE IT all 7 seasons under $20. Robin Hood (new one, sucked)It has to be something I would want to watch and something that was not made by the SciFi Channel (TV shows are good, their movies suck).

Here are the pathetic prices for Wednesday. These are not "Lightning Deal" prices, they are just average sale prices. What a joke!!

The Karate Kid (1984) [Blu-ray] - $11.99



This price is a joke. Amazon was selling this for $10 back in May and for $9.99 as a sale price (non-Lightning Deal) during the week of Black Friday.

Come on Amazon... at least match your lowest prices on these so-called Lightning Deals!!!

I got Community S1 back in September for $12.99 (but that's because it was $17.99 with a $5.00 promotion of some kind applied to it), so this $18.99 price isn't even as low as the pre-coupon price back then.

The best deal so far has been the baseball set. Great value!

I agree. Amazon seems to be after last minute Christmas shoppers not serious bargain hunters with this latest round of lightning deals.

I'm almost glad the Weds prices are craptastic. I don't need much more temptation

Disappointing prices.

I got Ally McBeal complete set on November 9, 2009 for $78.99 (and this edition also had the Soundtrack).

If the Watchmen set is $14.99 Thursday, it will make this week worth while.... and I would love The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus to reach $9.99 on Thursday.

I just started watching the Baseball series recently (through crappy library VHSes at that) and now I'm hooked. $40 for the whole set including the last inning is a GREAT deal, IMO.

You're right. I accidentally put the current price in my post. Thanks for the heads up.

Thursday's prices are just as bad as Today's prices. This is what I call false advertising. These are no way Lightning Deals...

^I have to disagree. With the exception of Imaginarium, all the titles will be the cheapest they've been at Amazon. Some a little cheaper, some a lot cheaper.

It's not a BD; but the Ellery Queen mysteries for $20 isn't bad for a 6 disc set that was just released in Sept.

I got Pillars of the Earth today. Nothing else was really that cheap for me to buy..I considered Moon and Community but I have so much stuff piled up now to watch I think I can wait a while longer. But I get a feeling we will see some of these prices drop lower next year.

Midnight Express Digibook - $12.99 and Easy Rider for $12.99 caught my eye!

Surely Silverado and A River Runs Through it have been cheaper in the past. Even Black Hawk Down for 9.99 has been cheaper at some point...
