Price: $50 each, assuming there will be no tax, plus shipping and paypal fees
the total will probably be around $56 each, I will let you know

I bought seasons 5 and 7 based on a separate thread in the Exchange forum, not due to this post in the Treasure Hunt, so I don't know if Treasure Hunt points will apply (I would ask that my points not be taken away, since I claimed the sets externally). I was asked to post here that the transaction was completed successfully (I even got some money back - without asking - because a box was slightly damaged), so I am.

Ingmar Bergman Collection

Title: Ingmar Bergman Collection
Status: Sighted
Total Price: $62.75 [($55) + (Tax = 5%) + (U.S. Shipping = Estimated @ 5.00)]
Availability: Unclaimed
Disc Condition: Case is in good condition, but has a corner which is a little pushed in (this is something that would be considered normal if it were a mail-rder item). Looks like it is still in factory shrink-wrap, so I'm assuming discs are perfect.
Notes:This is from the Used rack at Media Play, they had two and I bought one for myself, but the other is still there. If paying through Paypal, bank-only please.

Well, it's been a slow summer, but, finally, I've had a pretty catch. I found not just one, but TWO of the following. I will sell one apiece on the following terms to the first two eligible buyers to claim one of them as per the rules.

Title: Silence of the Lambs (Criterion Collection OOP)
Status: In Hand
Total Price: $17.95 shipped ($13.95 Used price + $4 for tax and 2 day U.S. Priority Shipping)
Availability: Claimed by PopCornTreeCt and GotCriterion (second copy cancelled for now)
Disc Condition: Good. Disc played.
Notes: Paypal cash (I cannot accept PayPal credit card payments) preferred. Money order or personal check also okay. US buyers only. Case condition is good. Insert present.

Total Price: $19.95 (Tax plus shipping free).
Availability: Unclaimed (Re-List)
Disc Condition: Excellent. No discernible scratches. Both discs played. All inserts present.
Notes: Paypal cash (not credit card) preferred. Money order or personal check also okay. US buyers only. Case condition is good. At the top right of the front cover there is a 1.5 inch wide millimeter thick white line where apparently some removed sticker grabbed. It could be easily hidden with a red pen since the cover is red. Because this is one of my favorite movies and favorite DVD sets to boot, tax and shipping is free. Price sticker on front and back of case.

I will take this disc off of you... just email me with deatils and we'll arrange payment ASAP...
Email me with details, ill take if unclaimed

I have canceled this pending sale to Got_Criterion because he failed to respond to my e-mails regarding this transaction. I may re-list it, but have not yet decided. I will give him 24 hours from this posting to respond. If he fails that, look for a re-list.

Relist

Title: Silence of the Lambs (Criterion Collection OOP)
Status: In Hand
Total Price: $17.95 shipped ($13.95 Used price + $4 for tax and 2 day U.S. Priority Shipping)
Availability: Samuel
Disc Condition: Good. Disc played.
Notes: Paypal cash (I cannot accept PayPal credit card payments) preferred. Money order or personal check also okay. US buyers only. Case condition is good. Insert present.


This is a re-list of the disc that Got_Criterion claimed, but then failed to respond to my numerous e-mails regarding completing the deal.

Samuel, I'm sorry, but no one can pre-claim a relist. The only way to claim this relist is to be the first eligible member to post a reply to this post and claim it. Thus, at least for now, it is unclaimed. Good luck.

$145 is hardly a deal... but, whatever.

Is that just something you have, or did you actually see a store or something selling it at that price?

I almost posted saying I'd take it because I thought it was a typo and was meant to be $14.50, heh.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point of this thread...and if so, I'm sorry...I can retract this if my post is a problem.

The Sellers Guide in this thread addresses this situation (third post):


D. Listing Personal Discs

Listing Personal Discs is permitted with certain restrictions. First, it should be a Criterion Collection DVD or a DVD on the Request List. If the disc is In Print, it should be listed at one half of its Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price. Thus, for example, $39.99 Criterions should be $19.99 and the $29.99 Criterions should be $14.99. If the DVD is Out of Print, the Seller should list it at the same price of a prior completed listing of that title or, if that is not available, it should be listed at half the price that the title last sold for on Ebay. The Seller will not include sales tax on the sale of a personal disc and will put in the Notes section that it is a sale from his personal collection and, thus, no receipt for the selling price exists.
Since the Seven Samurai CC you listed is OOP, and there is no prior completed transaction in this thread of that particular version of the title, one half the price it last sold on ebay would be the appropriate price touchstone for the listing. I did a quick search there and did not see any recent sales of the OOP version of that title. A look at Amazon.com (which is a decent, though somewhat inflated (IMHO) backup for gauging OOP worth) showed a used listing for this version at $150. That may be in the neighborhood of the going rate. Thus, $75 would appear to be a proper price for the listing here. Frankly though, I doubt you will see any takers here even at that price, because most of the viewers and buyers here have grown accustomed to even better deals.

Unfortunately, I never got the chance to confirm. The Swamp Thing disc was gone when I stopped by Blockbuster after work.

Sorry, achau. I should have grabbed it when I had the chance.

ok so I was looking through all the threads and I didn't see where you request a title that is not on the request list. I have several oop titles I would consider putting up for decent prices, but I would like to see how well this works first (for me). I'd like to make a request for the Puppet Master Box Set. I realize that will just mean people will keep an eye out for it, but that's good enough for me. ty
