Box Set Deals- Harry Potter, Seinfeld, James Bond
 
A few great box set deals on Amazon today:

Harry Potter Years 1-6 DVD boxset- $34.99 (normally $69.98)
Get pumped for Deathly Hallows by re-watching all of the other movies.

Seinfeld - The Complete Series DVD- $127.99 (normally $250.95)
Arguably one of the funniest tv shows ever

James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set DVD- $130.49 (normally $289.98)
All 21 James Bond movies in one box set. Works out to be $6.19 a movie (or $3.11 a disc) What more could you ask for?

The lowest I've seen Seinfeld has been $99.99 at Best Buy. It's also been available there for $110.99 before.

It was also that much on an Amazon deal of the day for $99.99.

The HP box set is pointless since they're single discs. If they had all the bonus discs it'd be a good deal, but you can get the single discs for pretty much every movie except Half-Blood Prince in any $2 Half Price Books bin.

I have never seen a Harry Potter movie sell for less than $8.00 new

Yes, but used copies in mint/near mint condition are plentiful in bargain bins because there's so many of them abound. I was at a Half Priced Books a few days ago and saw about five different HP movies in their clearance DVD ($2-3) bin.

I'll personally wait for the mega-super duper 34 disc edition that will surely come out after Deathly Hollows to get them.

I really don't think any of those sold for the "normally" prices you listed. :)

We appreciate your desire to post deals.
However, you are using an entirely wrong reference point.
First, that's not the "normal" price. There's no such thing as a "normal" price, unless you're going with what Xbox69 was trying to say: what it normally sells for, which is NOT the "List Price."

Amazon shows a "List Price," which is like a suggested retail price from the manufacturer and indicates to some degree how much Amazon pays for it.

But Amazon sells almost nothing for the "List Price." 30%, 40%, etc., off "List Price" are common at Amazon (and other retailers). Any reference to that kind of deal is fairly useless.

A "bargain" is when it is discounted beyond the standard or common discount.

I could put a price tag of $10,000 on one of my DVDs and then "discount" it to $20, while pointing to the "normal price" to show what a deal you're getting. If it never sold at all, let alone sold sometimes, at $10,000, that's in no way a "normal price."

I didn't think about that, thank you for pointing that out to me

That seinfeld set is not impressive at all, it goes for around 100$ numerous times a year, i would jump on that HP set if it was blu-ray :horsepoo:
