Deep Discount DVD (Itasca, IL)
Lemme see... I've bought Slayers Next and Slayers Try from them for half the price I bought the original series for from Suncoast... Had a real terrible time when they cancelled that order and recharged it without telling me and really screwed up my bank account in doing so... haven't bought anything from them since but other than bouncing my account, no complaints.
Yea... I started out at the most expensive place ya can buy anime it seems... SamGoody/Suncoast and since it looked like DVDPlanet or Animenation wasn't offering things terribly cheaper, I didn't want to bother with the time delay/stock problems of the only two websites I knew of that carried anime back when I first started replacing my VHS Anime... I think I've ordered one item that actually got shipped from DVDPlanet... the rest was cancelled due to incorrect stock reports on their website...
Of course DVDPricesearch changed all that and I found Deep Discount, DVDsoon (which was a horror cause they changed over the system in midorder and wouldn't refund my lost order so I had to go through my bank to get it fixed and of course I'm not even going to try them again unless they're absolutely the cheapest by $40 less than anyone else), Digital Eyes (nice place and seemingly more accurate in stock status than DVDPlanet and most often cheaper) and Amazon. I was always leary about Amazon as I viewed it as just another overpriced Ebay and not terribly reliable, but I got a few decent titles from them and haven't been too scared since. I didn't try the buy new/used zshops until I absolutely had to get the portions of Lost Universe that simply weren't getting in stock fast enough at Digital Eyes. That worked out nicely.
And as for Fushigi Yugi...
well avg price for sets 1 and 2 is $145 apiece so there's $290 of the 400 I projected and with the first OAV (I think the cheapest I saw that was $79) that brings it up to $370 and I'm not quite sure how much Eikoden was running but I'm fairly sure it was at least $30... mind you this was all original stuff from Pioneer, not from FX or other companies like them
And as far as morals go about buying them... heck... I'll just pretend like I'm paying for the collector case (not the original casing from pioneer anyways) and getting the dvd for free :p~~~~
