We watch tons of movies in our house. Right now, Treasure Island is blaring in the family room. It’s a rare day that someone in the house is not watching a movie. We don’t watch very much television because, frankly, my 12 year old doesn’t need to know what Cialis is for. With movies, we have a lot more control over what they’re seeing. We are huge fans of Blockbuster Online, and definitely get our money’s worth. Last year we watched over three hundred movies! But sometimes you really want to have the DVD itself. Favorite traditions such as It’s A Wonderful Life, or movies that get played over and over like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off aren’t worth requesting through the mail time and time again. It’s so much more convenient just to buy them.
I bought my husband “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” new at Walmart for Christmas. But that was only because it came with a CD of sea-shanties and jigs. It pains me to spend full price on a DVD (okay, it pains me to spend full price on anything). I’m always on the lookout for a bargain, whether it’s a garage sale or online auction. I’m pretty happy to see DJangos’ sale. $5.99 is a good price. It’s not a run-out-and-charge-up-your-credit-card-for-$100 price, but it’s certainly worth it for those DVDs you’ve been looking for.
You’ll want to buy $25 worth to qualify for free shipping. That’s four DVDs and a couple of 50 cent CDs. For $25. That’s the normal deal, anyway. But from now until Friday, January 12th, there is free shipping for any order.
Here’s a sample of some of the available titles: 102 Dalmatians, Best of Friends (Season 1 or 2), Daddy Day Care, Gods and Generals, Grease, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Rob Roy, Spy Kids. There are tons more, but you can see that they’re not obscure movies.
DJangos will also trade in your old DVDs (in playable condition) for credit toward new ones. The last DVDs we tried to sell on online auction (for a whopping .99) went unsold, sticking us with the listing fee. They were good movies! It just wasn’t the right timing. Turning them over to them means it’s always the right time — because they hold them in stock until that one person comes along who is just dying to see “The Man Who Would Be King” or “Yentl”. Okay, so no one in their right mind is dying to see “Yentl”, but you get the idea.
Go take a look in your video cabinet and see what you haven’t watched in the last two years. Ask yourself if you can part with it. Or keep the entertainment center doors closed and open up your wallet. Either way, it’s a good deal!
