Buy DVDs ya Buggers!

I was going to put these up on eBay, but decided instead to pop them up on here to see if anyone on my friend's list wanted them first. They are all brand new, still in sealed plastic.

All bolded DVDs are still for sale, unbolded means the one I have on hand has sold. If you see something you like that's gone, I can order it in for you, though can't say when Roadshow will supply it.

I used Swancon's celebration of 70 years of BBC Telefantasy as an excuse to order in lots of old stuff. It's basically all stuff that I myself want. I order in the things I don't have, and if it doesn't sell after a while, I get to keep it.

So far this has back-fired dreadfully, as you can tell by the huge list of Doctor Who DVDs for sale. It's amusing in a cruel sort of way...

I can also order any of the older Doctor Who DVDs that have been released, and am expecting the new Davros Box Set (Genesis, Destiny, Resurrection, Revelation, and Remembrance of the Daleks for $130.00) within the next week or two.

Postage is extra, of course.  All comments are screened.

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 :)
