Something Weird, somewhat cheap
 
Overstock is having a sale on a few Something Weird titles. The following are all $11.75:

Adult Version Of Jekyll And Hyde
Amazing Transplant
Confessions Of A Psycho Cat/ Hot Blooded Woman
Curious Dr. Humpp
Satan In High Heels

I looked up a few others, but none of the ones I wanted were as cheap. If any one finds any other sale titles, please add them.

Just to clarify, they are each $11.75.

No, really.

No, are you? I was updating the thread with correct information. While I appreciate the OP posting the deal, they are not "all $11.75", and I wanted to be sure people seeing this deal would be aware of that without having to do a search at Overstock. So, now that we have established the purpose of my post, what was the purpose of yours?

Thanks OP! Very good prices on some of these.

cdollaz 07-05-05 02:37 PM

Owned!

Buford T Pusser 07-05-05 04:06 PM

Just wanted to up my post count!



:buford:




Actually I was interested in the titles-haven't seen any of these flicks. Any recommendations?

bump for me

Buford T Pusser 07-05-05 06:59 PM

You bumped it one hour after I posted? :eek:

What part of that quote made you think the OP said they were all $11.75?

The part in which he stated they "are all $11.75" could have been phrased more clearly, as I demonstrated. I read his entire post, and believed it was unlikely, based on the last two sentences of his post (one of which you quoted above), that they were all $11.75, but I checked anyway, just to be sure. Upon checking, I discovered, as I suspected, that they were each $11.75, and I posted that information in case anyone else reading the thread was familiar with the English language. Substituting "all" for "each" is a common mistake, but, it is a mistake, nonetheless, and it can cause ambiguity.

Buford T Pusser 07-05-05 10:50 PM

I have to admit that for almost one split second I thought it might mean all for $11.75. But it wasn't even one whole second. Hence the split.

CrumpsBrother 07-05-05 11:39 PM

On the other hand, I did title this the "Somewhat Cheap" thread, and not the "Jumping Up And Down, Shouting Just F***ing Amazing Cheap" thread. ;)

But, yes, the price is $11.75 each.

Buford T Pusser 07-06-05 12:25 AM

:lol:

I was going to say something about if they were all $11.75 total it would have been called Screaming DVD Deal is Something Weird

I used a combination of common sense plus the English language to figure out what he meant. We can get into a battle of the language but it doesn't hurt to think a little bit about what someone means in addition to looking at the words.

I figured the title would be a little more intense if it was $11.75 for all of them together.

John Sinnott 07-06-05 07:46 AM

So, has anyone else found and other SW DVD's for $11.75?

Either $11.75 each or a group of five for $11.75, I'll take either.

I have no intention of getting into any sort of battle. I agree that it doesn't hurt to put in a little effort to think about the OP -- I did put in that effort. I was merely trying to help make the deal clearer to anyone reading the thread, and save them the trouble. I never wrote "OMG, so confusing, what the hell does the OP mean??????" I do not feel that my post was at all combative. Do clarity and accuracy really offend you, or are you just trying to pick a fight?
I think we have had enough of this, lets get back to discussing the deal. If you want to get in the last word, help yourself, I promise that I will not respond to your next post unless it actually concerns the deal.

Sorry about that. I had some bad things happen to me yesterday so lots of things sounded like "them's fightin' words".

Well, I know I promised, but it would be rude of me not to accept the apology. Apology accepted, and, for my part in this, I apologize as well. I hope things get better.

Ahh, I'm a big Something Weird fan but I either already have or don't want these titles. Its ok as I have plenty of new ones from the ddd sale to dig thru. -popcorn-

The only others I saw for $11.75 (each) that weren't cheaper elsewhere were A Taste of Blood and Rattlers.

Is there an Overstock coupon code available that doesn't require buying bedsheets or a watch to use it?
