I'm not surprised you can get some of my stuff cheaper. Roadshow tend not to reduce the prices on their older stock (though occasionally they have specials), and of course the big guys get special discounts and offer cheaper prices because they work on volume to get their profits. And when someone like Big W has one of its 20%-off sales, it's often selling DVDs below cost. There's no way I can compete with that!

That said, I've yet to see the Key to Time box for anything under $140, most places seem to have it for $150 which is the recommended retail price. I'm still making what I think is a fair profit at $130, so I figure it all evens out in the end.

As I mentioned, I basically bring in the things I want for myself and try to sell them. My profit on most of the single DVDs is about $5.

I thought about mentioning some of this in the original post, but then figured I'd go into it if someone mentioned cheaper prices elsewhere. Personally, I often shop around for the cheapest price, balanced against how much running around I'd have to do to find it, and whether I feel like it :)
