I had a ton of movies from x-mas i thought would last me for quite sometime now ive watched them all and i need to stack up any website that has cheep movies. the only one ive found is horror movies dot com. Where their is a .19 cent girl version of rambo that im thinking of getting.
For that inexpensive I think your best bet will be Ebay. If you catch a lot that does not have much interest, you could get a batch of DVDs or VHS for very cheap. Just set yourself your maximum "What I will pay for this group" and stick to it.

thanks for the tip, I think i will try that the horrormovies.com seemed a litttle weird because half the movies i hit to add to cart where on order and i want horror movies now! ha. renting them is out of the question besides friday the 13th and killer klowns blockbuster doesnt have anything great.
Ebay would be my suggestion as well. If you're looking for bad, obscure stuff you can often find pretty good deals. I get a lot of DVD's there for around 3 - 5 dollars, plus shipping. Deep Discount DVD is pretty good too, usually (but not always) cheaper than Amazon.

I'm sure there are some, but I can't think of a single DVD from DDD (Deep Discount DVD) that is cheaper at Amazon. Amazon is nice but normally DDD, DVD Empire, DVD Planet got them beat
nearly every time. most of them will price match and ship free. Amazon does have a drop near my house so normally they are faster but not cheaper.
Look around on Amazon at titles in which you are interested, then check in the used section for that title. I have found other sellers on Amazon offering titles at cheap prices, and you only pay $2.49 shipping per DVD; try to find that shipping rate on eBay. The downside is that if you buy multiple DVDs from the same seller, you still pay shipping per DVD; no bulk shipping discounts.
You might also want to check at Wal-mart and Dollar Tree (or similar 'nothing over a dollar' stores) for dollar DVDs. Some of the titles at the site you mentioned were dollar DVDs (for 99 cents), but you don't have to pay shipping at a local store.

The Avengers Complete Emma Peel Mageaset - Amazon wants $89.99 and Deep Discount wants $107.97. That's the only one I've come across recently, but I think there was one other a while ago :teddyr:

Right like I said there are some, but if you send DDD the link to the price they'll match. Ebay use to be the way to go but now everyone want to charge $5 to $10 to ship a DVD that can be mailed 1st class mail for a $1.35 or about that and 1st class is cheaper than media if mailing one disc. I rarely by DVD's off eBay anymore that very reason.
That's very true about the shipping at Ebay. However, they often sell the DVD for such a low price (especially if you check those "Ebay stores" that are listed after the regular auctions) that even after adding $7.50 or so for shipping, the combined cost is still lower than any place else.
I've also been buying a lot of stuff used from the Amazon vendors that Menard mentioned. It's nice that the sellers can't leave feedback for the buyers, I think you get a lot better idea of what to expect. I've noticed on Ebay that even though somebody might have near-perfect feedback rating, a lot of the people who left positive feedback are dissatisfied, but don't want to leave negative feedback for fear of retaliatory feedback being left for them.

Getting off-topic a bit, but I've written on that very subject of what I like to call hostage feedback; sellers forcing positive feedback with the threat of giving negative feedback if a buyer leaves negative feedback (of course, my article has been denounced by several eBay sellers; which I consider a mark of approval :teddyr:).

The God's must be crazy, I agree and practice most of that. What is the world coming too? The only thing I'd add and most might not agree with but as a seller, I do not takes bids from an ZERO anymore ... I've had more zero's fail to pay than the ones that did, then I have to go through the file for fees refund process and BS emails of "Oh I mailed a MO." Just as I rarely bid on anything with a lower than 98% FB I don't take bids from zeros. Yes I know everyone has to start somewhere, just start somewhere else. I don't need the money that bad.
I got burned twice on eBay by sellers. Once for $15, once for $3. But that is kind of outweighed by all the great stuff I've gotten on eBay from good sellers. (Like the Star Crystal poster that I got for 50 cents!)
Deep Discount DVD is where I usually go, though they aren't always the cheapest. You can always run searches on bargainflix.com, which compares prices at various sites.
Go to www.oldies.com for a bunch of cheap, bad movies. That's where I bought most of my silent film collection, but they have some real "winners" there like The Ape Man and The Vampire Happening, too.

I just popped on to Bargainlix, and found the domain has expired. Nevermind.
I am a BIG fan of Deep Discount. They have thousands of titles, very cheap, and shipping is ALWAYS free (unless you want accelerated delivery, which costs more). I receive about 90% of the movies I order from them within about 7 business days (it usually takes 1-2 days to process the order and then 5 days to get to my mailbox after they ship it). I have spent thousands of dollars on that website over the past few years and I have no complaints.
You might want to check out some of Mill Creek's 50 movie packs. You can get most of them on Deep Discount's website for around $17.00. That's about 34 cents per movie! The picture and sound quality of each movie in these 50 packs ranges from poor to almost excellent. I'd say about 40 - 45 movies in each set very good quality or better and the other 5 - 10 range from poor to good. There usually aren't more than 1 or 2 movies in each pack that I would consider unwatchable (usually because of a bad audio track that makes it very hard to hear what people are saying). You can't beat the price. And there are generally 1 or 2 movies in each set that are surprisingly in widescreen.

Good article Menard. I liked what you said about auctions that end at certain times not getting as many bids as ones that end at more popular times. I've noticed that auctions that end in the middle of the night don't get as many bids either.
