That's lame he's charging for shipping now. He posted he'd ship by media mail and do it for free.

Your site address is also wrong. That's a mountain dew site.

Thanks to SterlingBen for posting, I am hopeful Code Red stays afloat... there's a ton of horror stuff I've been hoping to nab but these titles are usually elusive/expensive.

SterlingBen 04-02-12 10:37 AM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
I asked if these were being clearanced due to impending Blu-Rays and got this answer


I put these out on dvd and didn't sell, why would I spend money on Blu when very little people wanted to buy it? Blu is only 18% of the market.

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
I asked about some of the other, more rare and good stuff.


Beyond the Door(2 disc best buy exclusive) $12
Horror High $12
Madman,--sold out
Messiah of Evil $14
Nightmare<--sold out
Night of the Demon<--sold out
Rituals<-- $17
Unseen <-- OOP $22

Pretty pissed at myself for not getting Nightmare when I had the chance.

SterlingBen 04-02-12 12:25 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Some OOP titles may be available too. I just added Christine Lindberg vs. Laura Gemser to my order for $6 dollars. Now I have got to stop!

He's said in the past that nobody would buy Code Red movies on blu-ray and that he won't pay licensing fees to Sony because they're too expensive.

The reason for this sale is that they lost their distributor, so at the end of February/beginning of March, stores started sending back their unsold items. Now he apparently has some deal with a disc presser but everything is going to be a small time business, so he can't sell stuff through stores and is going to sell stuff through their website from now on.

I grabbed Dead Pit and Exterminators of the Year 3000 (last copy apparently) for $30 shipped. Exterminators goes for around $45 on it's own most of the time.

Your welcome, I passed on the latter an hour ago. Although I really want to hear that commentary.

SethDLH 04-02-12 02:23 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Thanks haha. I've been waiting to find it for a half decent price since it went out of print like 4 or 5 months after being released.

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Thanks OP. Do you just send an email of the titles you want and he sends you an invoice through PayPal?

Basically, but he'll just give you a payment address (the same one on the site and posted here).

tecHouse 04-02-12 03:58 PM

Cool, thank you again.

tecHouse 04-02-12 07:47 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Oh yeah.. I ordered Dead Pit (2 Disc), Sweet Sixteen, Rituals, Horror High. Haven't seen any of them, but heard only good things about them.

JackBurton 04-02-12 10:10 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Thanks, OP. Picked up:

Derby
Running Hot
Messiah of Evil
Stunt Rock

Wish I would have knew about this last week when I caved and bought Rituals from a third party seller.

Preterite 04-03-12 09:50 AM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Stunt Rock is awesome.

I ordered:
Being / Cop Killers [Double Feature]
Cheering Section / King Frat
Christine Lindberg vs. Laura Gemser
Messiah of Evil
Stoney / The Killer Likes Candy [Double Feature]
I'm really bummed I missed out on Alice in Wonderland.

tecHouse 04-03-12 12:47 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Question, does he send you some sort of receipt via email?

SethDLH 04-03-12 01:07 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
All I got was the Paypal receipt saying I sent money.

tecHouse 04-03-12 01:32 PM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Okay that is what I got as well.. Never ordered directly from Code Red site so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of correspondence and processing.

Same here. I'd prefer easy shipping and minimal communication needed.

I've sent 3 since last week and haven't heard back. "They" is also actually a him. I've talked with him before and he's a stubborn ass that won't listen if you tell him he's wrong about anything, to put it nicely. Maybe he has a grudge with someone else he thinks is you and that's why you aren't hearing back or maybe that's his way of telling you he's out of what you're asking about.

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
Really wish I never dumped my Best Buy exclusive of Beyond The Door. I found it there for $5 years ago and sold it for whatever reason. I actually liked how trashy and bad it was.

Maybe it landed in his spam folder. Yahoo does that with to me with perfectly legit emails quite often. I've found stuff from places I routinely do business with in there.
Try again, maybe there was something in your subject line that pushed it to spam. I put "Secret Sale" in my subject if that helps.
I doubt that the guy doesn't want to sell to you. This was my first contact with Code Red and he responded.

I have corresponded with him since your post so he is still active. Maybe try a different e-mail address.

He posted about this on twitter so it's not all that secret ;)

I got Wild Malibu Weekend and the Unknown Comic double feature in the mail today, cost me $10, really fast shipping. I owned pretty much everything else aside from a couple of the out of print discs.

After you sent paypal to him was there further correspondence from him or did your packages just arrive?

Only thing, I thought the 2 disc was the raised cover on Dead Pit, is that only the 1 disc, or just the first pressing or something?

Lastdaysofrain 04-06-12 07:00 AM

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV
 
I didn't hear from him again, just had the discs show up, really quickly I might add.
