Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I love it! kudos to fye! let all the hording profitteers that had big dollar signs in thier eyes get stuck with thier purchases. let them go buy them at best buy for 6 bucks then fye offer them 3 for them. flood them on ebay and watch them drop down to 4 or 5 bucks each on there :rock:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

No offense dude...................but people are allowed to be able to make a few dollars on stuff. With the way the economy is there is nothing wrong with that. If you don't believe in doing that, that is your business, but that is pretty F#*&ed UP that people that spent time buying these items in the hopes of making money (in some cases less than $6 profit) and driving to different stores don't make anything.

You seriously need to realize what KARMA is. What goes around comes around.

Just my 2 CENTS.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

It's MORE F#*&ed UP that people are spending time looking for these items to KEEP and ENJOY, but they can't get them because some dipshits bought them all just to resell for more than what they paid for them!

I say losing money is great KARMA for those people.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

As far as those of us who have been unable to find anything thanks to the profiteers grabbing everything are concerned - this is KARMA!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Yeah, honestly Manzana, shut the hell up and stop bitching...
"Ohs noes i hate my job soo much and i cant even have time to flip my dvds!"

Firstly, every one of us has a job the we hate. And all of our jobs prevent us from doing shit we like. Thats life. Get over it.
Secondly, You complain you don't have time to go to FYE and flip your extra DVD sets, which is a disgusting thing to do to begin with. Thats fuckin awesome FYE is giving the middle finger to little dirty flipping scumbag hoarders. IMHO, they should be beaten to death.
Thirdly, that fact that you found sets like WW Complete and Blu-rays are amazing. That puts you WAY ahead of most posters on this thread. Personally, out of literally over 40 sets I want from this thread, I found 3.

Seriously, so much shit is wrong in your 3 posts of constant whining. You are sad that have a job (which is a privelage BTW), you are sad you can't flip DVDs (which is a disgrace BTW), and all the while you should be jumping for joy that you are employed and found GREAT deals at Big Lots.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Are you calling my brother a dipshit?-wink-

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Are you off your meds?:lol:

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Noghing wrong with people who actually want the these sets not being able to find them because of people like you who are just looking to make a quick buck? Right!



You want money, get a real job.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

BTW.................wanted to clarify my comments. I do not mean people buying 4 or more of each copy is right.

I do see nothing wrong with buying 2 or 3 of a DVD selling 1 or 2 of them and making the profit to cover the 1st one plus a little extra. I do agree that buying MULTIPLES (in excess of 4 or more) of the same title in the hopes to sell them is goign over board, but being able to make a profit on an extra one or 2 to cover the cost of the one you are going to keep.....there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

People are allowed to agree or disagree..........thats what makes this counrty great.

Personally speaking I like the thrill of the hunt and helping people out which I have done numerous times on this site and I will be sure to do that with BIG LOTS stuff.

I will be sure to check the The Unofficial "Big Lots" Exchange Thread to help my fellow DVD collectors out. :)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

It's actually surprising that it took this long for the ethical debate of flipping to rear it's ugly head. My personal take on the issue is that I don't engage in the practice myself. I also understand the disappointment of not being able to score on a deal where others, including flippers, have. I don't have sympathy for flippers if they don't make a profit(including my brother). However, I also don't hate their guts if they do. Last I checked, we're still operating in a capitalist market and at the end of the day, it's just DVDs.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Amen

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I hate to break it to you... Big Lots allows unopened returns for a FULL REFUND with receipt up to 30 days after purchase. Many things may happen in this world, but I'm not going to be stuck with any of these extra sets nor will I lose a single penny because I have my receipts and haven't opened anything. You seem to think that I bought wheelbarrows of extra sets... nope... just a few extras of ones I thought were valuable like WW Complete, Smallville BD, and a few others. I will return all of the ones I don't want to keep myself for a FULL REFUND within 30 days. I would've gone to Big Lots anyway to look for the sets for myself. Just one extra trip to return and maybe 15 minutes wasted. Absolutely zero loss to me.

Since there are so many anti-capitalists here (who probably think it's cool that the people they elected are trying to end capitalism in this country) who get bent out of shape and want to send people to the gulag because they bought a few extra sets to flip at FYE for a little money, I've also lost my inclination to trade my extra sets here.

Yeah, I shouldn't have whined about my job or been quite so cynical. I just had a really bad day at work today. Sometimes my cynical side slips out when I'm frustrated, but I forgot how viciously I get attacked every time. Of course there are some reasonable people like Sweet Baby James who remains correctly neutral. I'm not in favor of filppers either, and I ALMOST NEVER do it myself, but I don't feel bad about doing it. It's not illegal or a crime, though I think many here would like to make anyone who makes a profit a criminal and put them in jail. In fact, it's been years since I've flipped anything because I rarely find deals. This was one of the first times I was planning to, and now I won't be able to because of FYE. People can rightly say "good for FYE" and ha-ha all day long, but it's not necessary to call me names and wish harm on me. That's going too far. I just have to laugh how I HAVEN'T EVEN FLIPPED ANY DVDS YET, and the lynch mob is already out for blood. Now I'm not only not going to trade anything to FYE, I'm not going to trade these extra sets here when I'm sure some people would've liked to get them. I honestly forgot how many anti-capitalists are here and I'm afraid some of them would feel morally justified not completing their end of the trade because they read in this thread that some evil person named Manzana had once DARED consider flipping a handful of DVD sets for maybe $10-$20 profit each.

Thanks for reminding me why I lurk more often than post. I think that flippers who buy lots of DVDs are nasty hoarders, but I don't wish harm on them. I do hope they don't make much money either, but I would be the last one who would try to stop them from buying or flipping or try to harm them because I believe in freedom and the Constitution. Capitalism is and always will be better than socialism. That's my opinion. I'll shut up now, as I was instructed.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Hey Manzana, I was on your side to there. LOL. :0 I too had a bad day at work and actually QUIT and walked out only to work things out later in the day with my boss.
I can completely understand and don't let a few bad apples ruin it. This site is great and I AM GLAD I FOUND IT. Anyone that wishes harm on someone else WHEN THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL NEEDS TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOR A REALITY CHECK.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Oh man, oh god. Oh man, oh god. Oh man, oh god. Oh man, oh god. Oh man, oh god!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

:lol:

I'd just like to find a copy of "Animaniacs Vol. 3".

I wouldn't mind that Looney Toons collection box though (I have the sets already), then I could keep all my volumes together.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I haven't seen anyone mention the 50 Movie Pack sets from Mill Creek which have 50 public domain films on 12 double-sided discs. $9 each. Saw an 80 Pack too. Even if you like only 2 or 3 films in each set, it's probably worth the price. Horrible transfers but some rare movies.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Definately want to pick up a copy of the looney toons set.
as well as the tales from the crypt seasons.
I only own a total of 10 dvds now(as i really only watch High Def for the most part)
but at only 3 dollars a set, and the likelyhood that tales from the crypt will never be in hd definately got to pick those up.

hopeing that one day they will put the batman the animated series complete set at big lots.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Here's the Amazon Link to the set.

The distribution of the Lakers set is not limited to the west coast. That said, it does seem to be a a little bit rarer than some other sets from my experience. I've been to 9-10 stores in Indiana & Kentucky and found the Lakers set at 1 or 2 of 'em

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

But isn't that exactly what FYE is doing?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

For anyone interested, the Season 1 set of "Murphy Brown" contains another of the Warner Bros. 50 Years of TV commemorative discs.
This one is Volume 2 and contains 1 episode of "My Sister Sam" with Pam Dauber, David Naughton and Rebecca Shaeffer along with 1 episode of "Room For Two" with Linda Lavin, Patricia Heaton and Andrew Prine.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

^ I picked up 2 copies of this - one to keep, one to trade. Noticed when I got home that one of them had a sticker on the front indicating a "bonus" disc was inside. Wonder if it's in copies or just the ones with the sticker on the front?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Not me. I love being a porn star...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Don't give FYE too much credit a few years back they had a bin of $4.99 CDs and if you bought one cd the second cd was a penny.The cd I bought for a penny was a 2cd live set and after about 2 weeks I traded it back in to FYE and they gave me $10 Bucks for it !!!!!!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Happy to get a Popeye boxed set for $3...but wow, sure wish I could score those Looney Tunes collections. I'll try to check back in another few days to see if they put out some more title....

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

halleluah smithee! all I was trying to say is that seeing those horders lose money and thier efforts winding up being totally in vein really is true justice, let them pay for thier greed. my local big lots had like 20 copies of history of rock n roll and when I went back the next day they were all gone, and one store employee told me one guy bought every one of them, I would laugh my butt off to see the look on his face when fye offers him half of what he just paid, or he post them up on ebay and see them going for less than what he paid.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

wow my big lots selection (clifton NJ) is really terrible, guess it goes to show dvds really cost nothing to make as well considering the prices these are selling at.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I'd love finding a Looney Tunes set as well.. Going to look at 2 Big Lots today for that set as well as Animaniacs Vol 1 and 3 as well as Pinky & The Brain vol 3.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Thank you so much for posting this. I made a trip to both of these stores last night and picked up the following:

$10
Stanley Kubrick collection (there was still 1 copy left at both locations)
Looney Tunes Golden Collection vol. 6 (I bought the only copy I saw)

$6
Dukes of Hazzard season 1 and 2 (picked up the only copies of each that I saw, for trading purposes. I didn't recall if anyone had found these)

$3
Tales from the Crypt seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6
Adventures of Superman season 2 (George Reeves)
Appleseed Ex Machina steelbook
Popeye 1933-1938

I also saw the $10 NFL set, the $10 Roots set, most of the $3 Hanna Barbera sets, Lois and Clark seasons 1-3, Tracy Takes On... season 1, Everwood season 1 (I think it was season 1), and the War at Home season 1.

I was thrilled to find the Kubrick set as I have been eyeing that for a while. I was going to pick up an NFL set for trade but it is HEAVY -- wasn't sure how much it would cost to ship that one.

I will be posting an updated trade list in the Exchange forum so keep checking there. Happy hunting everyone, and thanks to all who are posting their finds!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Loved you in "KIss My Whip."

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

:lol: Best post of the thread!


I thought that WW Complete was an awesome deal but that Looney Tunes Collection is UNREAL. Hitting several big lots today and if I find any extra I'll put them on here for trade.

Sadly I don't think I'll find even one... :(

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I really feel stupid for paying $30 for that Popeye set last year.
I made my daily stop at the Midwest City, OK store on the way home from work last night. It was mostly the same stuff as before. They had rearranged everything and maybe put out a few more single DVDs but still no Roots, Wild Bunch, Right Stuff, Big Red One, Popeye, Looney Tunes, or any Blu-Rays or other rarities.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Went back to another store today and found Flintstones season 5. The very helpful and nice store manager told me they had Looney Tunes, Super Bowl and Kubrick megasets yesterday morning and I missed them (no Imax that he could recall though). Also said they had all 6 Flintstones, Huckleberry Hound, Top Cat etc. They had a huge restock of Popeye today too. Keep looking folks, there's lots to go around it seems.

Also saw Everwood Season 1 for $3, that was new to me. (oops, I see Infusion07 already listed it)

Picked up a Roots box for my mom last night and sure enough it's scratched pretty badly--but most of the time unless they are serious deep scratches they will play fine, so I guess I'll hang onto it. With that shitty packaging $10 should have been the original MSRP.

One guy I was talking to said this may be fallout from the Circuit City bankruptcy and that's why we're seeing such insane deals. I hadn't even thought of that...

How crazy is it that suddenly $6 season sets don't seem like quite as great a deal now. This is even better than the Camelot laserdisc clearance frenzy. :)

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I remembered that!

May I ask where is the BL you mentioned about?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I didn't find anything in my stores, but my friend in CA scored me a bunch of stuff:
Seasons 2-6 of Tales From the Crypt
Flintstones S2 and S4 (they saw a S5 but it was opened, so I passed--in hindsight, for 3 bucks I shoulda just got it)
Josie and the Pussycats
Top Cat
Dastardly & Muttley
Wacky Races
Lois & Clark S3 and S4
Pebbles and bamm bamm
Popeye Vol 1
Wonder Woman The complete Collection
Super Bowl XXI-XXX
2 of Adventures of Superman Season 2 (one for my Dad)
2 of Adventures of Superman Season 5 & 6 (one for my Dad)

I hope to score some of these here still so I don't have to pay for shipping (that box is gonna be HEAVY) but I'm just happy that I'm guaranteed to get that much stuff in case I can't find them here...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Louisville KY

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

Haven't found any of the insane box set deals here in Mississippi, anyone in the deep south seen 'em?

Did pick up a few titles anyway:

He Knows You're Alone
A Stranger is Watching
Of Unknown Origin
The Wind and the Lion

BUT THE REAL NEWS IS... the cashier gave me a 20% off coupon good for this Sunday from 5-9 p.m.... anybody else gotten one?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

You mean THIS one?
http://www.biglots.com/coupon/buzzclubcoupon.aspx

That place is gonna be a frackin' madhouse on Sunday...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

I haven't checked Louisville yet only Shepherdsville. Which stores in Louisville had the $3 boxsets?

Thanks!

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

The supervisor at the Clinton Twp MI store said they will be honoring the coupon all day, not just 5-9 pm. as the coupon states.

Probably not a bad idea to ask the stores you visit and see if any are doing the same. You would have a much better chance to get what you're looking for when everyone else is waiting until 5pm.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
 

i opened a case when i scored my big find and all the copies of the Flintstones season #5 in the case were not sealed. they were brand new with all the disks mint but they box had no shrinkwrap.
