worked fine for me. Better deal than even the Columbia House one! THanks!
w00! Jet Li rocks, and for 4 DVD movies, a little under $20 shipped, it is well worth it. I bought one of the movies (Fist of Legend) on DVD, paid $13 for it, and I thought I was practically stealing it, man that movie is awesome.
If you like martial arts movies, Jet Li is totally awesome. I think of him as a 90's Bruce Lee... well Almost. Anyway, thanks for the post AWESOME FIND! AWESOME!!!

$16.99 at first, but when you put it in your basket, it comes to $69.99. Only 30% off.
Tisk, tisk, trickery will get you nowhere Amazon.com.
It was 16.99 but now it's changed to 69.99. I guess they caught on. Damn, I was going to buy one or two more as christmas gifts. Oh well atleast I got one.

Hmm.. it was correct for me, and I have bought from them before. With all this thing about them having better prices for new customers, that seems kind of odd.
Speedfreak
09-07-2000, 01:26 PM
Hey, TKD... with that said I went to check my cart and it still says $16.99 and I even refreshed it. Besides, it usually changes if there is a price change, even it if IS in my cart already. Hopefully it will stay that way once I actually go and buy it. :)

Dang, looks like I got there right when they where changing it. I would've liked to get that for 16.99, but I ain't going to pay 69.99 for it, blah.

*sigh* just my luck, I go into a meeting, and miss this great deal. Oh well, I guess you can get it down to $50 with a coupon, but that's still a whopping $12.50 a disc...certainly not as good as $4 a disc!!

strange. Probably another one of those cookies vs non cookies price switcheroo things. when I looked the price came up 16.99 but in my basket it jumped to $69.99. called a buddy and had him try it and it was 16.99 both in and out of his basket. so i had him order 2. hope it works...
strange how amazon has thise price changes. but Im glad someone (mrX) found it and some people were able to take advantage of it. I wonder how many more of these are floating around out there...

I have a bad feeling that they are gonna start cancelling orders, but hopefully they'll honor their mistakes. If not, no big deal as long as they don't charge me crap.

In the meantime, I noticed the "Movers & Shakers" section on Amazon's site. Bloody hilarious...

Well, most people assumed this would happen, its not like they want to lose average of 60 bucks on a dvd sale. Would you? Oh well, at least their nice about it and tell you that you can cancel the order.

09-09-2000, 11:59 PM
Parm: yea i got the same B.S. from them also.
hey if we have to live with their higher prices than say Buy.com & dvdexpress.com for the DVD, then they should stick with their advertised prices. i know they are losing money on it, but that's why a business has to take RESPONSIBILITY for what they advertised. you know as a protest, we should spread the word that amazon.com competitors have better prices than they do. i am pretty sure that since they have a better prices, pplz should get the better deals :)
is there anything pplz can do. i know they pull the same stunt back then on the toy sale also. but now they are a more reputable company, so they should be more responsible than when they first got started. if you can learn from your own mistakes(TOY SALES for AMAZON), then are the pplz workig there MORONS??????? maybe they are :D

Whoa.... 84.99 for me.
Not QUITE the deal I was hoping for.
Speedfreak

At least they couldn't charge me anyways seeing as I used $20 of my $40 in gc that I have on there. They wouldn't get the full price anyways. :)
cheapo
09-12-2000, 12:27 AM
