Ha! I sold my 10 Roughnecks discs on eBay for $110. Now I get it back (minus the commentary) for $25.

generally it means it's a popular item or they're unable to obtain it, so the extra fee is something they charge in order to obtain it, also in the past it's been speculated that sourcing fee's show up when the item is going to get a price change..

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, I have all the ones I want from that list already. I wish I hadn't bought the individual sets of Seinfeld earlier, since I haven't even gotten around to watching them yet.

if you haven't opened them, couldn't you still return them (if you still have the receipt and assuming you bought them at a B&M) and then buy the one that's on sale now?

not if you bought them months ago, in the case of seinfeld, almost a year ago if you bought them on release date.

Some decent prices, but the "sale" price on many of these items brings them to being equal to DDD, or maybe a couple bucks cheaper. I did, however, snap up the Cirque du Soleil 3-Pack and the Vampires box set. Good prices on those.

(edited because my grammar sucks)

I was kind of worried I overpaid for the Seinfeld GIft Pack by buying it on preorder from Best Buy back in October 2004 for $82.81 total, but then I remembered I got a $25 digital gift certificate for buying it so I only really paid $57.81 in my mind and that's still less than this one.

The Harryhausen sets are 10 cents less from DDD. Anyone know if that's their normal price or a temp. price match?

Well, you could use them as gifts and just wait after Christmas day, assuming that you're interested in store credits
