Re: Big Lots Part 4
Could you guys start mentioning the location of the stores you're finding stuff? I know some people do, but a lot of the posts just give a list of titles people found and it would be nice to know if they were at any of the stores even remotely near me.
FYI, I was at the North Hollywood (Vineland Av) and Hollywood (Vine St) stores today and they didn't have any of the new sets.... if that saves anyone a trip.

im going to Van Nuys, NoHo Sherman Way, & NoHo Vineland tomorrow just to see if they got any new stuff even though i got what i wanted Animaniacs 1 & 2, Pinky & the Brain 1&2.
it'd be sweet to find that looney toons boxset...

I traded a Smallville and will be shipping it on Friday for ER S6, so yeah, they are rare but there.
In the case of Roots, no point, they are all scratched to hell... Read Amazon.
Thanks for the Danville report! Most of the ones that you mentioned as not available here in Lexington were available last night. You have a PM coming btw...

Re: Big Lots Part 4
For those thinking they can make a killing on Ebay keep these outrageous fees in mind:
$6.50 DVD Set Cost with tax
$ .35 Ebay Listing Fee
$1.05 Final Value Fee on $12 Sale with Free Shipping
$ .70 Paypal Transaction Fee
$1.00 Bubble Mailer
$1.90 Media Mail Postage Fee
————
$11.50
So, if you are lucky enough to sell that set for $12, you will have a whopping profit of 50¢, or $3.50 if you charge for shipping. ...oh, and Ebay is flooded with these sets already.

I checked back earlier tonight, only noticed a few new $3 titles and some crappy Nickelodeon DVDs. I grabbed: Swimming With Sharks ($2), The Big Empty ($2), The Comancheros ($3) and Criminal ($3). Not bad.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
All of these super-cheap DVDs make me almost want to never pay more than $3 for a DVD or any TV season again. It seems almost everything I buy goes on sale cheaper at Big Lots eventually. The only trick is finding the stuff because it's so random which store gets what when.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
A post a while ago mentioned that FYE was now offering $3 for most of the Warner Bros. boxed sets that it had previously been offering $10-$30 for. Has anyone else confirmed if this is true?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Does anyone have a pic or link to what this Lakers set looks like? I am a HUGE SPORTS fan and would like to know what I am looking for. Any help is much appreciated.
Also is Nip Tuck S 4 Standard DVD or BLu-Ray that Big Lots got in?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Also forgot to ask is anyone on the EAST COAST finding the Lakers sets or is that a WEST COAST THING?
Chop2Chip10...................thank you so much for the offer. I did just start my Big Lots hunt today so can I let you know. I hope to find it by me but if not I will let you know and send you some money for your time.
So I am guessing this is a regualr deal Big Lots has and not a sale that ends on Saturday
Any confirmation?

Re: Big Lots Part 4
I remember how FYE employees used to tell me their rule of thumb was that they turn around and sell DVDs for about 4x what they paid, so $3 would mean we should be seeing these WB sets all sell for $12 used at FYE, right...? Dream on... FYE will probably still price them for the same ridiculous amounts as always.

Re: Big Lots Part 4
Just a warning to anyone who was "flipping" these titles at FYE, they have drastically changed their trade in values on all the WB boxsets.
I was in the local store (Atlanta,Ga) earlier today and someone was trading in some sets listed here. I don't remember all of them but he had Roots, Wonder Woman complete series and History of rock n roll. He had some others but I wasn't looking that well. Anyways, FYE was offering 3 dollars for these titles. The guy was having a fit lol, he thought he was going to get A LOT more than that! It was funny, because they guy kept asking "Please scan it again, that can't be right!".
So I don't know if FYE's trade value has dropped because of massive trades of these titles, or if someone at FYE got wise and told the higher ups. I did notice this store had 2 used copies of Roots for 35 bucks!

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 

You seriously need to realize what KARMA is. What goes around comes around.
Just my 2 CENTS.

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
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.
