re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
I understand this. But when a store is selling someone at $10.99 and $6.99. Then raise it to the full msrp price and then tell you they are giving you 81% & 67% off. Knowing full well most people seen the lower price before going higher is just wrong. The % off just make it to match what you want and what you where selling it for right before your sale.
I am not buying, and from the looks of it. I am not the only person to see this. These are the close to the only ones (there may be more?) at 38% & 29% 45 minutes not sold out. The Crow 3m, ID4, IML, one other under 5 mins.
Just my view on it. Again, I will not hit the buy button. I'm sure they will not miss my $12.49

I'm assuming you've never bought a lightning or gold box deal, because the percentage off is always off list price. Your protest is baseless.

This also gets me. I also do not own a dog (Ragdoll Cats, Chickens, Ducks, Cows, Pigs but not one dog). I sometime get items I never even looked at, watch, have in my cart, or even want. Then again more then most. I get items I do have in my cart, buy, look at, watch, etc. I sometime think the person how does this has one to many drinks that day. I'ts a Ben moment (or Ophra Ah Moment).

I'm working under the assumption that they'll be matching Best Buy's price of 8.99, which would be better than last year by a dollar. I'm definitely grabbing S4 if that's the price, despite the fact that I still haven't watched 2 and 3 yet.

That would be a smart move. I watched S4 via Netflix streaming, and at least once an episode I would think to myself how much nicer the previous seasons looked on BD.

They didn't raise the prices before the lightning deal. If you search for these two movies on Amazon you will see that they are still listed at $10.99 and $6.99. When you go to their product pages you will see that price directly above the current lightning deal price.
I'm assuming you've never bought a lightning or gold box deal, because the percentage off is always off list price. Your protest is baseless.

In the end I did not buy those (I wanted Goats) sad part was I was or would have been happy to pay $7.49 for the one. Who knows it was on sale once it will be on sale again very soon.

I haven't been able to do any of the Lightning Deals because of my work schedule this year, but Mad Men Season 4 is one of the only Lightning Deals I was interested in. Thankfully, I'll be off work during that one. Here's hoping I can get to it in time.

You should never assume anything in life (out of my 600+ post 500 have just been in Amazon Thread alone). You miss my point I was trying to make. The price of Goats was fine, the other was so so. It was taking it up to full MSRP then giving a BIG discount to make it look like well a " BIG DISCOUNT"
In the end I did not buy those (I wanted Goats) sad part was I was or would have been happy to pay $7.49 for the one. Who knows it was on sale once it will be on sale again very soon.

[Edit: The others above beat me to it.]
Mad Men S1, S2, S3, S4 are all $8.99. 4:30 PM PST tomorrow. Surely Amazon doesn't make money on those, do they?
Black Friday Week is up.
