All the deals in the first post are long gone, but for future shopping, How do you do a "per DVD price search"?

Bobbin 12-30-04 06:28 PM

Damnit!

If only I had known about this site earlier I would have Dinner For Five, Duel, and The Margaret Cho Collection in my house!

www.dvdpricesearch.com

for starters.

there's other search engines that cover everything from dvds to music to clothes. i think www.pricegrabber.com is another one.

SlingshotBandit thanks for your response, but...

The topic of this thread is:
Cheap Stuff From Amazon Per DVD Price Search

So I'm looking for answer to the question:
How do you do a "per DVD price search" at Amazon.com?

The original poster was referring to this website:
http://dvdpricesearch.com/

You can use it to search for specific titles to find the best price on the web, but also on the home page it lists low price deals every day for several diferent websites including Amazon. The OP just copied the Amazon deals for that day and created a thread.

Count Dooku 12-31-04 07:05 AM

There ya go. Thanks!

Wow. That was odd. I typed in "www _ dvdpricesearch _ com" as the first url, but somehow it got readjusted to the link it shows now. Did a mod alter that? Just curious. The first link is just a link to the pricegrabber website (which is the second link I posted). Hmm.

Anyway...yeah, www _ dvdpricesearch _ com is the way to go.

It's been awhile now, but how many other people who ordered Mythos still have not recieved it? I got in on this deal early, and while I got both Power of Myth and Dinner for Five a month ago, the shipping date on Mythos is estimated between Dec. 18 and January 30th for me. This is ridiculous, and if this never ends up shipping, I'm giving Amazon hell. Is there any possibility they would give me credit to amazon worth as much as some of the marketplace sellers currently are listing Mythos at? That deal for 8.99 was incredible, and something tells me they dont want to lose money on this and are not ordering any more to ship.

I still haven't received Mythos or the Margaret Cho Collection. I'm actually not holding my breath that they'll get them back in stock. If you look at their site, they don't even have either for sale (only on Amazon Marketplace).

They might give you a gift certificate for like $5 but definitely not one for $50+.

rbf1138 01-13-05 08:16 PM

Well, I checked Wellspring, Mythos' publishers site, and they are still selling Mythos, albeit Mythos I & II, for 99, which is the price of the Mythos dvd. I'm going to email and ask why if the dvd is still available to buy from the publisher my order wont be honored. That's bad business, and though it was pointed out earlier in this thread that they are known for doing it, I'll be sure to let amazon know that if they don't come through with this order that I wont be using their website again, and I will advise friends against it as well.

Badlands 01-13-05 09:13 PM

I ordered Mythos on December 8th, it was shipped on January 5th, and I finally received it on January 7th. After the delay of nearly a month, I didn't think I'd ever see it, so I was suprised to check Amazon one day and see that it was on its way. Hopefully everyone out there still waiting will also receive it.

BTW, there is no way Amazon made money on that order. I used Super Saver shipping, and they shipped my order in 4 different shipments, two of which they sent just before Christmas using Next Day Air! My order included Mythos, Margaret Cho, Power of Myth, Russian Ark, and Wire in the Blood at $8.09 apiece with STL. What a deal!

Might you not want to wait until your order is actually cancelled before doing this?

There's no indication yet that they aren't going to honor this (my Margaret Cho just shipped last week, so they're still getting to these). Sending an irate e-mail right now doesn't seem like it'll serve much purpose.

agitprop 01-14-05 03:20 AM

Got my copies of Coronation Street and Wire in the Blood and they made great Xmas presents as many relatives and friends are fans of both the world's longest run soap and Robson Green's excellent series

cine 01-14-05 02:46 PM

I too think we ought to wait until they cancel the orders before sending in any protest emails. Sending one now might be counter-productive in that it might make them aware of how much money they are going to lose with all the outstanding orders of Mythos, causing them to cancel our orders.

victant 01-15-05 04:56 AM

Just received confirmation of shipping for Duel and the Margaret Cho collection. Never thought I'd receive this....

Wannabe 01-28-05 12:34 AM

Mythos is in stock now.

The Exister 01-28-05 09:46 AM

Picked up Duel and Thick as Thieves - thanks for the heads-up!

rbf1138 01-28-05 12:22 PM

Mythos is in-stock, and I called Amazon and had them make my order "priority" so it should ship next week. However, the guy said they have over 1,000 on backorder, so it could easily get bumped back again.

cine 02-04-05 01:24 PM

Has anyone received their Mythos recently? Amazon is showing its availability as "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months"!!!

rbf1138 02-04-05 01:42 PM

What Amazon is doing is complete bullsh&t. They had it listed for a week at shipping in 4-5 days. They had my ship date as yesterday, as I had ordered 2 months ago on December 9th. Of course, it didn't ship, and was once again pushed back a month. The fact that they told me they have a huge backorder, yet they still continue to take orders for this is ridiculous.
