Re: DeepDiscount Official Notice: 25% Off Sale Runs From July 17 Through August 2, 20
I wasn't trying to start a price argument, as I was saying only 2 of the things in my wishlist have gone up in price at all... but unfortunately they have both gone up a lot... and were two of about five things I planned on ordering. No complaints, I love DD, that just kind of sucks for me. I didn't think either were a "sale" price, but I could've been wrong.

It amuses me to no end that people expect them to keep sale prices during their big across the board sale. The whining about it is just annoying. I only asked about the Boetticher/HIMYM sets because i wasn't sure how much they were before the current sale they were part of. I know they will go up....it would be stupid to expect them to stay $16 until the big sale.

Thanks to OP for the dates on the anticipated sale. I wish it was now but will just have to wait the 2 weeks like everybody else. Some of my things have went up and some have went down but all cheaper than I can get elsewhere so I will be happy.

They'll definitely raise their prices accordingly as they eliminate other sales going on, and match the prices of sales going on other websites.

25% off of that price is $28 and change. that doesn't suck at all. I knew it was part of some sale or another...was just curious if anyone knew it's more common regular price. looks like it will be an even better deal in two weeks

I also run searches to compare prices again during the sale and as long as I feel like I am getting a bargain during the DD sale I don't really care if it only works out to be 15% off from the best other price in the end. A good deal is a good deal regardless of the percentage difference to me.

The Boetticher set is steep anywhere else - up to the $40 range someplaces. I'll be getting it at DD opening sale day. The seven or so other titles I'll get are holding at price or have gone down anyway. Yaneedtachillbro.

Star Trek the Motion Picture Collection up to $90.30. That's hilarious. Will they price match Amazon during the sale? Surely they don't count the coupon discount toward the match.

They will still price match, but they aren't going to match the price and then take off an additional 25% when someone else has it on sale at the same time. It just so happens Amazon and Walmart have good prices on that set right now. Generally, I would say about 55% off list is about the best you can expect. That being about 30% off list as their standard discount and another 25% for the sale.

I'm glad I bit the last time Best Buy had it at $65. My plan was to return my DD copy to BB, but since the price has gone up so much I'm just happy I picked it up at BB when I did and didn't wait for the DD sale.

at $90.30, with 25% off the total would be $67.73.
Depending on what you paid in sales tax (here it's almost 9%), DD would still come out cheaper than snagging it on sale at BB.
I picked it up there too because I had a Rewards Zone coupon for $15, so I got it for just under $55.
Speaking of price raises, I don't expect the Battlestar Galactica Bd set to stay at its current price of $222.xx. However, they can still raise it to a whopping $280 and with the 25% off, you would STILL save $10 more than the current pre-order price.
I hope they don't (raise it too much), but I'm expecting to hear a lot of people bitch to high heaven when they do...even though they would likely still come out ahead.
If I can get it for under $200, I'll be a real happy camper. Not expecting 50% off (which would be $175) but anything between that and $200 I would consider an great bargain- especially when you price out the per season cost.

I'm with you. The announcement has taken some of the pizzaz out of the event. Maybe they were being bombarded with inquiries and decided to give us our lolipop and shut us up.

I got tired of waiting and was able to pare down my admittedly small wish list with Fry's recent BD deals. DD can go suck it with their so-called "sale".

(I don't feel I'm entitled to a greater discount; I'm just trying to figure out all the angles.)

Looking forward to getting Battlestar 4.5, it went up to $34.52, which makes it $25.89 after the discount. Still a good enough deal for me if the price holds.
Gotta look at what else to get.

For all the detractors to the DD sale...keep in mind that some of us pay sales tax when we visit a Fry's, B&N or Amazon (a whopping 9.5% in WA). Thus, I prefer the online sales.

Sorry; I presumed everyone was following the conversation that's gone on for half of this page. Star Trek the Motion Picture Collection BD.

So my previous posting about this sale was right on the button then. That's what I was told by their former store manager as July 17th being the start of the sale but it now ends on 8/2/09, which is a good thing as well. Thanks for the update.

Are you suggesting that Amazon's price is a sale price? I can't find any sale notice in Amazon's listing (and it's been at that same price since it began shipping, to the best of my recollection). I just find it hard to believe they would apply an optional coupon's value to the price match, because surely not all of their customers know of the coupon, right?

Deep Discount's group on Facebook also states that the 25% off sale will run from July 17th through August 2nd with "Facebook25" being one of the codes.
