I found it before you posted it, and I feel quite stupid, so thank you! :D
 
Thanks OP!!! I bought mostly B-grade stuff that I had wanted to sample for ages as well as ones I wanted to fill the holes in my collection. It appears that I got everything for an averaged under $3.00 a DVD amount with the shipping cost, so I'm pretty happy.

Sorry dude, I got those YUA dvds. Was surfing the sale as soon as it was posted here. Although on the other side, you did buy almost everything I cut to potentially buy later.
 
Since most of this stuff is used and single volumes dvds, I save like $35 by not buying anything. I'm going just rent them on netflix and wait for the stuff from the rightstuf sale to come.
 
I ended up grabbing what I needed to fill in some holes but otherwise nothing major. Still, less than $5 per was right up my alley. I enjoyed the last sale far more but that usually depends on when you see the sale and what is available beforehand!

Thanks, op!

Same. Minus the netflix part, atleast.

X for the first DVD and $1.00 per additional sounds fair to me. Flat rate shipping which is what a lot of businesses do. It just seems bad as I bought so many. Shopping around, other places are $2.00 to $5.00 more per disc, or just not as cheap to get their free shipping. My order averaged out at $3.00 each which is probably the cheapest I'll ever get them for, aside from rentals, which I won't do, as I hate renting.

Anyway, I have a strong feeling that my order won't go though. I'll explain why after I get a confirm or denial on the order.

No problems there. I was the first one to see the post last night as the thread had only one view at the time. I took 1.5 hours looking though everything before making the order. I looked through the list 3 times before finishing up as there was a lot to consider. I was about to buy the Ranma as well, but someone got to those before I could put them into the cart. LOL!
 
Can't believe I missed seeing Giant Robo Vol. 1-3 the first time through! I ended up making a second order to correct that mistake, then...jumped on a bit more to fill in a few more holes.

That's the last order, I hope. Still a bit less than $5 per volume but since I haven't seen any Giant Robo around here in ages I thought it's better to strike while the iron is lukewarm than not at all. ;)

By my math, you are going to be flipping them at $6.88 a DVD. Who is this crazy person/business? I guess a better question is how do they expect to sell any of those for more than $6.88 each? Not your worry I know, but it seems too good to be true. If you're right, I recommend buying lots and collections off of ebay and cashing in on this before they smarten up! It sounds like this place is about 4 years out of date to be giving those types of payouts on these.
 
Animenation pays $5-9 a disc for those. Some of the best deals were $3.37 into $9. The reason why they pay so much for them is they are dvds that they are in short supply for their anime rental program (hence why they'd rather pay credit for them rather than spending cash on the dvds/depleting their new stock).

There were 20 other discs that were $3.75 -> $5. I try to stick to at least a full 100% gain with most of my flips, so i held off on them.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check their list closely someday.

I'm wondering if anyone had received any updates on your orders? I suggest for you all to really go over the math closely and check the new invoice over with the one you placed a couple days ago (hopefully you had printed it out as I had). Mine turned out to be very controversial just as I had expected it would be.

If anyone had done the math on my order they would have seen that the numbers do not total up correctly. Basically their shopping cart system messed up when they told me that YUA was sold out. Thanks to Grico, I got a further discount of whatever his YUA DVDs was off of my order. I believe it was $36 or so dollars. But it seems that they had discovered the mistake and they corrected themselves so I'm paying more than what I had agreed to pay on the invoice. Now I'm wondering what I should do.

I know morally I should understand and drop it, but realistically I've sold on ebay professionally for almost 9 years now and when this has happened between a customer and myself, I always had to make good on the mistake even when it was program failure. No customer ever understood and dropped it. In fact, they tend to raise a major fit when I tell them that they need to pay more due to no fault of their own.

Now that the situation is finally reversed, I feel torn between what's right and what's done. If I'm realistically due anything in this case, I feel that I should fight for it. The trouble is, am I really due anything when this happens because of a programming mistake, or am I just a big push over to my customers by letting them get their way when this happens?

Anyway, let's look at the totals and compare.

NEW Total
Discounts: $290.72
Subtotal: $96.90
Regular Delivery (2-7 days) ($0.00 discounted): $49.00
Store credit used -$0.00
Sales tax $0.00

OLD Total
Discounts: $334.56
Subtotal: $77.51
Regular Delivery (2-7 days) ($0.00 discounted): $51.00
Store credit used -$0.00
Sales tax $0.00
Total $128.51

On top of the difference, two of the DVDs was "Voided" for no explained reason. Diamond Daydreams and IkkiTousen. No biggie, but to make matters more annoying, for some reason I also now have store credit of $4.24. I totally do not know why I have it nor do I want it if the credit is a direct cause of the two voids. I want that money back on my card, not on a store account.

I'm really venting here as I don't know what's the right thing to do. It's going to be about $3.50 a disc now on these, which is fair enough, but I hate to think I'm getting screwed over because I'm so passive about matters. So, I'm wondering what others would do.

I would email them about it and show that the original purchase amount you agreed to was bumped up in price. It wouldn't hurt to email customer service to complain and they might try to make it right. It really varies from site to site how much they care about such things, even though really they should honor what they offer.

As far as the voided ones, I got 2 voided myself. I think the voiding means they were not actually in stock. I think for both of them when i clicked them it came to a screen that said "check to see if this item is in stock with a representative" even though the page said in stock. It would be nice if they told you why it was voided in the email. My email just said what was shipped with no mention of the voids or even the final total. Pretty amateurish invoice.

As far as the account crediting, I had a manga that I paid for there a couple years ago now that they apparently never found to ship to me, AI Love You vol. 5. At the time they credited my account the value of the manga and strangely as well sent me AI Yori Aoshi vol. 5. Made no sense then, still doesn't now.

That's all the help info i can come up with at the moment. With the two voids I am a bit annoyed, as now my order looks kind of skimpy and I would have ordered a couple more at least.
 
So far my invoices line up and add up properly but we'll see what happens with the individual orders. The first one is the right price and has already been shipped but the second one probably won't go out until maybe Monday, and some of those DVDs may have sold out in the meantime.

A few months back I remember someone starting an eStarland thread, complaining about the customer service and getting back a credit to the store rather than the money back on his card for an order. I don't know where it ended up but I think this may be a bit of an uphill battle. Fight the good fight nonetheless, though!
 
Got my order today (maybe yesterday as I discovered it on my porch before the mail arrives). They messed up my Jubei-chan Vol 2 and Jubei 2 V1, where I got two of the same Jubei-chan Vol 2. I'm figuring it'll cost more to trade this back in, so I won't bother with that. Everything else was there, aside from the two that was voided as mentioned before.

On my credit card, they charged the original amount and then the extra on a second charge. I'm wondering if they can do that or not without my approval? I doubt it, but I'm still debating if I should fuss about that. Probably won't as I seen a few new disks on the site that I'm interested in.

Anyway, the discs I've looked at was in excellent like new shape. One was a floater, but not damaged. A couple was new with their stickers. All used ones was rewrapped in shrink wrap.

Off topic, I'm in a pretty good mood as the "Strange Dawn" DVD dubbed that I wanted to hear so badly (the first one I popped on the player) turned out to be in a British Dubb. I was laughing for a good 10 minutes over that one. It's been almost 15 years since I've heard a true British Dubbed anime (a bootleg Catgirl Nuku Nuku, which was really badly dubbed).
 
[quote name='1SwtDeception']fairyland: so when did you order it? I just want to get an idea since it doesn't seem to be too bad?[/QUOTE]

The 27th, but they did ship until Monday the 31st.
 
Mine got shipped about 4 business days after I ordered. The last two weeks were kind of messed up as far as the postal service went.

One thing i'm not to keen on is that they say they were unable to find one of the discs, so they've given me a store credit for the amount (rather than adjusting the total price to exclude the amount). I'm no legal expert, but that doesnt sound right.

They did the same to me. I've a $4.24 credit with them now. They found fit to charge my card more when they wanted it, but they won't give that amount back when they should. Screwy business practices. I'm pretty sure I can fight the second charge and win, but I would hate to miss out on another good sale over a mere $25.00. But then again, I was charged $50 for shipping when I know it was only about half that....whatever. I seem to recall dealing with these people before at an anime con (Neko Con 99 or 01 I think) and I remember them being rude jerks back then.

You could file a BBB claim on them. I tried that once with someone else, but it was such a hassle and I felt would do absolutely nothing, so I gave up on it.

I'm still debating on putting another order though. There was 10 discs I was semi-sorta interested in, but I have a strong feeling the Right Stuf 10 for $50, 25 for $100 sale will be hitting very soon, where I'll probably end up tossing more money on.

TRSI is techincally overdue for a 10/25 sale, but considering their last ADV 10/25 sale went sour (weather problems) and Geneon is OOP now, I'm actually not really counting on another one. Stranger things have happened though...
 
I got mine last week and it was awesome. The disc are basically like new. And so was the dvd cases (kinda, there were a few "used" edges) but it's a steal for the EVA collection under $20 shipped.

Yeah, I got a copy of You're Under Arrest vol. 3 in my volume 2 case. since they didn't even have volume 3 I assume the disc is long gone. Everything else was fine for me. A couple factory sealed ones, everything worked. For the price, good enough.
 
Yea, i was surprised that most of the discs i ordered were still sealed.

Unfortunately they sent me a wrong disc. I've gotten a RMA, and they say they'll reimburse me for shipping it back, in credit. I'm gonna file a report with the BBB as soon as I get the correct disc back.
