- Check the DVD home page on Amazon.com and see what big sales are running. They rotate frequently and soon the titles go back to their normal rates. Excellent, double-disc sets from last month go for as little as $10.00.
- Powells.com: They ship DVDs for free and there is no tax or minimum order. Best of all, they offer a larger discount on Criterion Collection discs than Amazon, usually about 20% compared with Amazon’s 10%. However, Amazon does give larger discounts for laggards like Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris -- but why would you want to buy Solaris.
- Be very careful with half.com. Make sure the seller has perfect or almost perfect feedback and lists exactly what the condition of the DVD is. This is one of the worst areas of online auction abuse. “Like New” condition can often mean a scratched, smudged disc in a worn case.
