You know, you could be right
I'm quite a DVD addict.
I'm a database administrator for an independent financial investing firm. However, almost half of the money is part of bonus for a project that was completed on early November. Basically, I was tasked to handle everything for moving the firm to a new office, which meant finding a moving company, getting phone service installed, finding a firm to move our phone system, packing up the office, etc., etc. Since I completed the project under budget and there wasn't a problem, I was given the difference between the budget and the project's expenses as a bonus, which was a very pleasant surprise
Ah, action figures... I remember that world quite well when I used to run a GI Joe website.
Cool! Thanks for the info on the shipping schedule. Nothing like having something to look forward to after coming home.
Sorry for the confusion. I used PRICESEARCH for the first order since DVDPS has been a huge help to me over the past few months. I just wanted to show my support for DVDTalk by indicating that I used their discount code for my biggest order, which I hope will help generate revenue and help pay for the site's expenses.
LOL! That would be pretty cool to promote on my own website since David Mack, a writer and artist who is the focus of my site, has appeared on several DVDs in the form of interviews and artwork appearing in the background.
Well, for everyone who wants to see a list, here it is.
Most of the DVDs in the first order are not for sit-down-and-watch-on-TV entertainment; more like background noise while I work on my website.
Anyway, feel free to make fun of my selections. Heck, I will probably jump in as well :P
On a final note, I hope I didn't break any rules about linking to websites. IIRC , this is only my third post.

You have some intersting choices in your list of purchases. Although, I would have to say that about 97% of the stuff in the list, I would never watch

Madness ... that was nuts. If this guy had a little more time/patience for DVD buying he could've saved about 50% off that order by doing the whole Columbiahouse.com membership cycling. Although I gotta admit... I spend more time thinking/planning about buying dvd's than actually watching them.

A teeny second order; there will no doubt be at least a third:
Quantity Item # Description Price Status
-------- ------------ ----------------------------------- ---------- ---------
1 HVD001983 DVD : HOUSE OF GAMES (CRITERION) $ 20.71 In-stock
1 MCA025454 DVD : INVISIBLE MAN-LEGACY COLLEC $ 18.81 In-stock
1 SON010364 DVD : FILM CREW-HOLLYWOOD AFTER D $ 10.50 In-stock
Merchandise Total: $ 50.02
Tax: $ .00
Shipping & Processing: $ .00
Total for this Order: $ 50.02
DD's web site indicated that House of Games and the Film Crew DVD were out of stock, so it was a pleasant surprise to see all items available now.

On the plus side, if I don't like a particular DVD, it's not too big of a loss since the average is $6.20 per disc, which is cheaper than movie tickets for me.

Hello all!
First time ordering from DD, and with the coupon I got I Love Lucy Complete Series for $117. MUCH lower than anyone else.
However, when I ordered Friday night, it said "This item is currently not in stock and will ship to you on 11/19/2007."
Then yesterday I checked out of curiosity and it said "This item is currently not in stock and will ship to you on 11/20/2007."
Sure enough it now says "This item is currently not in stock and will ship to you on 11/21/2007."
Anybody know what it means when it daily extends the ship date? Does that mean they are not going to get this in stock? I kinda need it for a gift for a friend of mine and I just want to rest assure that they will get it!
Thanks for any help!
Shane

For the first time ever, I've not seen my large order ship quickly after placing it a minute before the sale was even announced here. So I know for a fact I was one of the very first to place an order. I did get my initial confirmation quickly, and everything I ordered was originally in stock. Yet my order hasn't shipped yet. That's the first time I've ever seen that happen. Every other time I've participated in the 20% Off sale I ended up ordering right when the sale went live and I always had my order shipped within 48 hours. Not this time. I'm kinda bummed about that because I'm reading about others that got orders shipped. No reason I can think of for my order not shipping yet. Hope there's no problem...

From my own experience, they usually get items back in stock when it has a message like that. I've had stuff backordered for close to a month after the sale ended, and I still got it. Usually when an item is not available anymore, they remove it from the site, and/or notify you.

I like the way Thinkgeek does their geek points, with various reward options
David Mack, impressive order, also, I know you, you handled Daredevil for awhile right, right after Kevin Smith's run I think?? and, I think some Lady Death art back in the day?? Around the early to mid-90's.

davidmackguide - impressive list! Curious as to why you didn't bank your money on building a BluRay or HD-DVD collection. I would assume that you have quite a Home Theater setup and HD should make quite a compliment.
I've built quite a collection myself through the years, but now starting to be more selective with my titles and versions.

Davidmackguide, From the amount you purchased. I can only assume 2 things....
1-You are not married.
2-You are married and she doesn't know about the bonus you got or the 6k worth of dvd's on the way.
-Lets hope she doesn't read this forum.
