Tenchi Universe Boxset $15 Buy.com

[vherub]

Buy.com has some anime on sale, Hellsing 1, 3 and 4 are $5 each.
But it also has the Tenchi boxset at an insane $15, when its msrp is $200.

It must be a pricing error, but maybe not:

http://www.buy.com/retail/Product.asp?sku=40159883&SearchEngine=CJaffiliate&Type=CJ&Category=Video&adid=17662

pricing with shipping, but eligible for free shipping

[rodeojones903]

Thanks OP. In for one, hopefully it ships

I forget, did I get a $5 coupon from the debacle a while back with Batallion Wars?....

[Beana Blasta]

well, i was looking to buy one from ebay, doesnt seem liek a major price difference.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I forget, did I get a $5 coupon from the debacle a while back with Batallion Wars?....

Yes, yes you did.

Also, buy 3 get 1 free after rebate on DVD's at Buy.com.

[Strell]

I'll cross fingers. Thanks OP! With lowest shipping and $5 GC, I got it for 9.60 or so.

[BustaUppa]

Ordered. Thanks OP! I'm assuming it'll be cancelled but hey I got nothing to lose for trying.

[Kapwanil]

I ordered one and, honestly, I hope it goes through! If not, well, not skin off of my nose.

By the way, would it be worth signing up and then subsequently dropping out of the Great Fun promo in order to get the $25 worth of credit? I remember people talking about their experiences of doing so before but, hey, if I can get some extra credit here and end up picking up some more books and whatnot that I wanted to read...all the better!

[Beana Blasta]

I ordered, thanks OP

[RacinReaver]

I've got a hunch the ones on eBay aren't the genuine product, though.

[klwillis45]

Tenchi not Tenchu. Need to fix thread title and OP.

[Soujiro_Seta]

Ordered one thanks OP
Although I highly doubt these are actually gonna ship

[dragonpancakes]

Deal is to good to be true, ordered one myself though. 650 minutes too! Unfortunately there is a part of their TOS that says they can cancel the sale if it is mispriced. Hopefully that doesn't happen though.

[Supercake]

Hope this goes through, ordered. Thanks OP!

[Grico]

well i have half the series already, but this way will be cheaper then buying the volumes I need. Hope it goes through, Thanks OP

[takingchase]

It's not much but use this coupon to save 5% on the purchase.


http://www.buy.com/retail/coupon.asp?prid=86177727&adid=17672&dcaid=17672&adid=17662


EDIT: I forgot you need to use paypal also for this to work.

[Pookymeister]

i googled a 5% coupon from somewhere, no paypal required. Got set for $12 exactly + shipping

[TripleH13]

Thanks OP! Hope it goes through . .

[doraemonkerpal]

dayam, i just bought this last month for around $70 from another vendor! :lol: good find op!

[takingchase]

I hope no ones getting their hopes up. Buy.com has a terrible track record of honoring price mistakes. They usually send out $5 coupons though if they don't honor it, which is why I signed up.

[TimTucker]

Can't get it to add to cart and it's listed as "unavailable" in search results. Looks to be dead.

[Pookymeister]

those that have ordered, what is your status?

[Gameboy415]

Tenchi not Tenchu. Need to fix thread title and OP.

Yeah.....I was completely misled....

I thought there was some crazy box set of all the Tenchu games or something!

I have all of them already though so no biggie :D

[Beana Blasta]

mine's ready to be shipped!!

[Kapwanil]

Mine has been sent to the warehouse. Let's see if anything good happens!

[takingchase]

Mine has been sent to the warehouse. Let's see if anything good happens!


unfortunetly that means nothing. I ordered an oliver stone collection forever ago at a great price and it still says sent to the warehouse but if you click on it it says "on order"


If this ships I'll be ultra stoked though.

[intelligentidiot]

SuperDuperClub.com has this for $8.99. I just ordered it for $22 with Priority Mail shipping. I've never ordered from them before, so hopefully this isn't some scam.

I googled for them and it seems they have good customer service. Thanks to your link, I've jumped on the deal too (the buy.com link I couldn't add the item to my cart either, so I assume the deal's deader than Elvis.)

Danke for the link, btw, and to the OP for the deal. :D

wtf is up with these prices? so it seems i didnt get a good deal after all....fuck

[Pookymeister]

i still think its a misprint - maybe a publisher sent out a bogus MSRP? Box set Anime for $15 is a bit on the cheap side....

[Dragonsbane]

I just called them and they said that it is unaviable*sp? from the manuf.

So if anyone gets this to go through I will but your copy for $20 +ship, or more if you are willing to sell we will talk drop me a pm

[Ricochet]

Tried to get one but anytime I hit the Buy Now button nothing happens. The page refreshes and that's about it. Ah well...

[sblymnlcrymnl]

This item is currently unavailable from the Manufacturer.:cry:

Oh well.

[moiety]

Aw missed out on this one. Good luck, hope they honor it!

Edit: late night typo

[Dragonsbane]

Good luck, hope you they honor it!

What??

[Strell]

I know I said earlier in this thread that I used my $5 GC, but I just checked my e-mail confirmation and it DID NOT show up. I KNOW when I hit the "confirm" button, it clearly showed 9.56, and now it's up to 14.56. So I tried to redeem it again and it says it's gone.

I swear, if this goes through or not, I'm never ordering from buy.com again. Ever. I'll stick with newegg and amazon.

Fucking bullshit. Even when they are trying to cover up their fuck-ups, they fuck up. Amazing.

I used a gift card as well, and I have the same thing in my e-mail. However, I'm hoping that it's just stating the total price (mine doesn't say anything about payment method) which would be $14.56. My credit card hasn't been charged yet, so I'm not sure.

[Mookyjooky]

Theres always someone who calls the store, they're like "I was gonna say my bad, but homos are slamming the phones over this"

And everyone gets cancelled. The End. Welcome to Fatwallet status.

[Dragonsbane]

So if anyone gets theirs and they dont want it, ill give 25 plus ship, drop me a pm

[paramount]

Anyone who ordered this did so for more or less the following reasons:

1) They intend to watch the DVDs or have a friend/family member that will
2) They intend to resell it near MSRP and make a large profit

Anyone who doesn't want to keep it is clearly going to try to sell it for a nice markup, I don't see $10 being enough to be quite honest. I'd also like to add that 'sent to warehouse' really means nothing with Buy.com. Most likely everyone who orders will recieve a coupon and that's it.

Amen, my 15 copies are going straight to eBay!

[Blade]

I wonder how many people ordered 30 copies. Fucking douchebags can't share, can you?

If you really did, I hope you die horribly.

[RacinReaver]

I want to watch mine. :(

Tenchi was the show that got me into anime and it would be nice to have my own DVD copy of the series. =\

[Strell]

Aye, I want to watch mine too. :( I want to get all the Tenchis, it's been the only "dumb guy surrounded by hot chicks" anime I can stomach. All the others pale in comparison.

Just making sure you know there are quite a few Tenchi shows...

[Sailorneorune]

If someone not obsessed with the insane profit they could stand to make from reselling their extras could cut me a deal on a spare Tenchi boxset, I'd appreciate it...

[Brian9824]

It doesnt matter if you call the store. The website will notice the huge jump in sales on the item and they will almost certainly realize its a mistake.

Item's don't jump 800 places overnight without a reason so that will definitely alert them. Either way though they usually do give a $5 credit and no harm in trying

I know but I thought that since this was CAG and not fatwallet they might help a brother out. Btw when I called about the set all I asked was why the buy button wasnt working not a mention to the price at all.

[Mookyjooky]

Got cancelled. no email warning.

Gave them a call at 877-780-2464

Then had them cancel my 260.69 dollar order as well. The customer service rep tried to talk me out of it, bumping up my shipping for free, but I told them, "Overstock did this, and I stopped going, 50% of my orders here get cancelled, so now I'm going to stop going here. I do most of my shopping online, and I spend thousands every couple months on Amazon... Your slow shipping and lack of a phone number on your website was 2 strikes, this is the third...cancel my order."

I know but I thought that since this was CAG and not fatwallet they might help a brother out.
You missed that period by about a year or so.

[Kapwanil]

Yup, cancelled too. No real worries, honestly. I'll just turn what I was going to spend into something better. :D

[Strell]

Cancel'd!

GOOD GOOBLIES.

Great. I'm sure I get to call and try to argue that they owe me the $5 GC I tried to use on the order that showed up and then didn't show up.

Hooray!

[projecteightysix]

I understand its disappointing... but what the hell. Some of you are taking this way too seriously

[Pookymeister]

Yea, all 15 of mine were cancelled. GOSH DARN.

[Mookyjooky]

I understand its disappointing... but what the hell. Some of you are taking this way too seriously

They cancelled me and never refunded me. This is the second time they tried that.

[Soujiro_Seta]

Mine got cancelled too :(
No loss it was gonna be a christmas gift but oh well im sure some other good deals will come up before then

[intelligentidiot]

My order from SuperDuperClub.com got cancelled as well, which doesn't seem all that surprising. They said it's no longer available, which I assume means that it was priced wrong.

[Dragonsbane]

It seems, and maybe this is 'cause I get burned by them so much, that Amazing anime deals have been popping up and the being recanted. (this and neon genesis evangelion) can we all some daqy get a boxed set for a price that is unbelieveably under MSRP?

[Grico]

unfortunately this is the way online huge price mistakes tend to go. At brick and mortar you can get the item physcially out the door before anyone figures out but online ordering has too much time built for them to find it out and cancel orders. It does work sometimes (like Street Fighter Alpha 3 max for .99 from Gamefly)

[Pookymeister]

Email

"You are the recipient of a $10 Buy.com gift certificate from Buy.com "

Something good came out of it i suppose.
Can get a game guide for about free + shipping now

[rodeojones903]

This makes me like buy.com. Most places just cancel and never think about you again. Thanks buy.com for my $1 copy of She Hulk Vol. 2 :D

[Masterkyo]

Yay! I got $10 GC too ;)

[dago2727]

Cancelled and got a $10 Gift Certificate too. I'm up to $25 in Gift Certificates because of Buy.com mistakes. Thanks Buy.com!

[robdees]

Same here. Now, however, I have a total of $15 in credit thanks to a couple of cancelled orders. Nothing like free money.... :)

[Pookymeister]

if anyone wants to trade their gift code for something from my tradelist, or sell it - let me know...

[Kapwanil]

Now I'm extra happy since I can pick up two or three books I had my eye on for a while for just a couple of bucks. Excellent!

Buy.com : Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining!

[takingchase]

Well I knew it, they canceled the order and sent out apology gift certificates. I was only expecting $5 though not $10. If anyone wants to use their $10 gift certificate towards another anime box set you can get Now and Then Here and There boxset for free + shipping with your gift certificate.

[dragonpancakes]

It sucks, but as long as I keep ordering items from buy.com I will eventually have enough GCs to get the tenchi set free.

[RacinReaver]

Yeah, I just got my $10 certificate too. Not bad considering I wasn't expecting anything more than an apology letter. At least they were prompt about it, too.

[CoffeeEdge]

Damn! I wish I'd ordered so that I could have gotten that $10 GC.

[BustaUppa]

ooh yeah I got the canellation coupon too. Hey it's $10 for doing nothing, I'll take that.

[Pookymeister]

ordered Radiata Stories guide for $1.20 shipped with the giftcard and %10 coupon. Good deal.
