Seinfeld - Season 1 & 2, and 3 - $19.99 .... Price Match it!
 
Well folks, for those who dont know, that Hollywood Video price of $19.99 can be priced matched at Wal Mart. It worked for me tonight right at midnight. I was the only one getting it. Infact, one guy said, who wants Seinfeld, I was the only one to say me!But tons were there for harry potter - when one guy said "here are the potters" a couple of 20 yr old looking "kids" screamed.

Final Cost of both Seinfeld season sets including tax:

$43.08

Damn, thats priceless!

Oh and I thought this thread might be good for those who already bought the set, and can post here on how much they got it for, Instead of a thread asking for the cheapest price, or what BB has em for. Lets see if anyone can get this price match at Circuit City!

Damn. That might be worth skipping the gift set.

where do i get a copy of the ad? Can wal-mart call for this or do i need the ad? Also, where do I go for a price match at wal-mart? thanks.

I wouldn't recommend having Wal-Mart call. It is a misprint to my knowledge.

The ad is in the Hollywood Video holiday season gift-book thingy with Mrs. Shrek on the cover. Just walk into HV and pick one up.

Wal-mart price matches at the registers.

p.s. Thank you, DVDTalk and the OP for another unbeatable deal.

DVDBob 11-23-04 07:53 AM

Thanks OP. Going to try PM'ing BB in the morning, but if that fails, off to Wally World I go.

baddtm 11-23-04 09:13 AM

awesome, going to try that. hopefully they don't call.

Hueynnet 11-23-04 09:38 AM

Got'em for 19.99 each
 
First the plan was to go to Hollywood Video and get the ad then pricematch at CC. There were already people waiting to get in , went in and as I grabbed the ad , someone asked if they had the sets for 19.99 , the manager said they were 39.99 each , the guy showed the ad. The manager said ok , rang him up for 19.99 each. I also got them for 19.99 each - YMMV defintely .

Success at Best Buy in Manhattan. They almost gave me BOTH for $19.99 total and then figured they were $19.99 each. Either way I'm quite happy. MUCH better than having to deal with rebates, cutting out UPCs, etc.

Bluebomber 11-23-04 10:01 AM

Well sounds like it is worth a try

HE Pennypacker 11-23-04 10:06 AM

I'm gonna try this.

Any one have a scan of the Hollywood Video flyer?

Michael Corvin 11-23-04 10:21 AM

I am sooo itching to leave on my lunch break early. Damn. 45 more minutes to go.

Dabaomb 11-23-04 10:22 AM

The HW in Manhattan on Third Ave & 10th Street used a black marker to color over the $19.99 price on all of the advertisements.

I got a good one..
I got the PM at my walmart and the guy fumble around the register a little bit and somehow deduct $3 per set.. so my total came out to be $33.98 for Season 1,2 and 3.. i didn't thought about going PMing so early.. but it was worth :)

Phew! Glad I picked it up from there yesterday!

Yea, I saw the post (2 up). However, the scan of the ad is not displaying properly (at all) on my machine. I assumed it might be an error in the post/link. Apparently it is just me.

At any rate, I can not view the scan of the ad.

Jah-Wren Ryel 11-23-04 11:28 AM

Don't worry, that scan ain't going to cut it for a price-match. It is more like a digi-cam shot. You can't even tell it is from hollywood video.

jackepstein 11-23-04 12:07 PM

no go at best buy and circuit city.... wayne, nj

Michael Corvin 11-23-04 12:11 PM

I got lucky. My HWV put a sticker on the holder for the flyers mentioning the error in price. I also managed to snag the last book. Rode over to wal-mart got them to price match. The girl wasn't comfortable doing it since it rings up close to $40 each. She checked with the head cashier to see if they will allow it, and the h.c. said they(HWV) were a competitor and said to allow it. :up:

I was getting worried since I cancelled my amazon order before I left. I see this deal dying a quick death, get in while you can.

Zodiac_Speaking 11-23-04 12:23 PM

Thanks for the heads up! $40 for all three is way better than anywhere else. I wasn't going to pay BB price or even Walmarts, but this I couldn't pass up. Can't wait to dig in...

Paul_Nyman 11-23-04 12:36 PM

My brother stopped in yesterday to the local HV and they did put up a notice stating a price error, but they didn't remove the booklets from the rack or even black out the $19.99 pricing on the page in case anyone went price matching somewhere else. My brother took an actual booklet over to a Wal-Mart on his way to work and they glanced ad the ad, got a manager to approve and didn't even blink about the LOW price. He picked up two sets of each 4-disc box for under $84 w/tax.

Forget about a Black Friday deal... this was it!
