Lots of cheap boxsets too.

SkullOrchard 05-17-06 05:44 AM

The "Narrow These Results By" option does not show all of the the used Criterions available. You'll have to browse the entire list of used DVDs to find them all.

slowcloud 05-17-06 05:52 AM

And what kind of conditon does Tower re-sell used items in? I've had varied results from different used sellers (Gamestop, tradeup, spun).

They had a similar sale a few months ago. Everything I ordered from that sale was in near mint condition. All of the DVDs played perfectly.

Spez 05-17-06 06:10 AM

I had put M, Rashomon, Throne of Blood and 8 1/2 in my cart and by the time I double checked this thread to see if I wanted anything else, all but 8 1/2 were out of stock!

FM 05-17-06 06:24 AM

I successfully ordered 7 of them. Hopefully I get them all. Thanks for the alert!

Fred

TheBigDave 05-17-06 06:45 AM

Anyone know how they handle out of stock items?

I just placed an order and on my Order Status, 4 items are listed as Not Available. Do they only ship the in stock items and cancel the out of stock items? Do they charge for the entire order or only for the shipped items?

slowcloud 05-17-06 06:46 AM

Sheesh, yeah they zipped Out of Stock fast!

Shagrath 05-17-06 06:49 AM

I tried this when they did the same several months ago, and all the Criterions were OOS by the time my order went through. I had chosen 2nd day shipping hoping that things would go through quicker, and then all the Criterions were OOS and I ended up paying for 2 day shipping on those (since they shipped before I could change it), and getting the others cancelled.

It's really not worth the hassle of having this big heart attack on the cheap prices and then frantically trying to get an order in. They probably only have one, maybe two, of these titles, and the person that posted, or someone on FW probably already got them all.

excom101 05-17-06 06:59 AM

I dislike that on the search page it says "In Stock" or "Low Stock" for many items, but when you click through to the item description, it says out of stock. Not cool...

John Galt 05-17-06 07:19 AM

I placed an order for 13 Criterions, we'll see how many actually go through. I remember last time they had this sale about half of the items that were in stock when I placed the order ended up being unavailable.

starman9000 05-17-06 07:37 AM

Are there any free shipping codes out there? There are a few kids cheap kids movies I wouldn't mind picking up.

John Galt 05-17-06 08:28 AM

They're giving free shipping on all orders over $20. I don't think these used titles qualify though.

alfonsosoriano 05-17-06 08:50 AM

Hmm...I'll have to check it out.

HockeyMan2000 05-17-06 08:59 AM

I ordered a group of used titles before in their last sale -- I'd recommend three things:

1. Use a credit card instead of paypal, should they not be in-stock (despite what the website might claim), since it was a hassle to get my money refunded...took a couple of emails to do so.

2. There's no way to get free shipping on these discs. If you have a Tower $5 off $30 coupon, I think you can apply it, but there's definitely no way to get free shipping, so I wouldn't spend too much time on that.

3. Prepare to be disappointed. It also seems they literally only have 1 copy of every title, or thereabouts, so once someone goes through that list you'll be out of luck.

If you jumped in early, good work, because the few titles I did receive last time were excellent bargains and in terrific condition, too.

No free shipping on used titles.

alfonsosoriano 05-17-06 09:15 AM

Any coupons at all, lol?

I'm racking my brain right now deciding if I should order something. There are tons of good deals. If they had shipped free, it would be quite a great sale.

RATRUNICK 05-17-06 09:17 AM

I'd be cautious. I've had lots of good results with used Tower items, but the only double-disc criterion I ordered from them (Children of Paradise) came with the artwork cut down to fit in a single-width case.

alfonsosoriano 05-17-06 09:26 AM

Well, I put an order in for the Black Hawk Down 3-disc Deluxe, we'll see.

gjamesm 05-17-06 09:38 AM

The Last Sale they had like this also included free shipping over $20.00.

Richard Malloy 05-17-06 09:40 AM

Good find, but I think I got here a little too late! Only saw "Short Cuts" and "Slacker" in the used list (and of course I already have both).

Am I blind, or are they otherwise cleaned out?

alfonsosoriano 05-17-06 09:43 AM

Alot is cleaned out I think. When I was at school around 9:00 they still had 8 1/2, I get home at 9:40, and it's gone.

The Reaper 05-17-06 09:46 AM

The Samurai Trilogy is still there, as well.....$22.99, I think.
