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.

Re: Box Set Deals- Harry Potter, Seinfeld, James Bond

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
