I was checking around at the office sites to lookf or the best deal and stumbled across THESE.

EDIT: it doesn't say there is a limit but online only lets you buy 1 set of 2. I printed the page out and used it B&M for 10 packs total without a problem.

EDIT #2: Just got back from BB today. I picked up about 75 for free. None of the other examples are better deals (IMO) for mass quantity after shipping and waiting. A trip to Blockbuster is the real deal as suggested by KingKong954 at FW.

Warm I'd say. I got about 30 dvd cases totally free a while back. It was when stores like CC has those AOL cds in dvd cases like this. I walked in grabbed 5 aol cds, my friend grabbed 5 and walked out. We did the same thing a few hours later, and then again. We ended up with like 20 each lol. And it was fun breaking those AOL cds in half. If you can find any more of them I'd go for that, but I think they dont have them in the dvd cases anymore, this was a couple years ago.

I did say warm. Thanks for the suggestion, but I would rather pay $25 for 50 of these cases that I don't have to spend time removing AOL crap. Also, I got 50 in about 5 mins, so I saved much more than $25 in time from your scenario. I realize this isn't the best deal going as far as price, but it's super easy for decent cases at less than market price. I would love for someone to better the deal. That's one reason I posted, 'cause I'd be on it.

I was wondering why we got a massive stock of those the other day at the OM I work at, now I know why. :)

Lol! That's about like me taking the AOL ones. Do the netflix ones have any stickers or can you just slide the stuff out and have it ready to go?

PC Club has the same ones for $4.99 everyday as well.

so the deal is $5 for 10 cases.. $.50/case.

seems warm, but nothing to get excited over. check out some of the deals at www.allmediaoutlet.com, i've ordered media from them before and got excellent service (although semi-difficult to understand on the phone). It looks like cases are around $.30/each there, and they also have double-disc cases. those would be perfect for movie backups made with dvdXcopy or something..

also iirc they had some good package deals on media w/ dvd cases, but i didn't check

or a 100 pack for $29.00 (29 cents per)
or a 200 pack for $54.00 (27 cents per)


or at Rima.com, they start at 24 cents per

You are all missing the point. you can just walk in and pick these up. Ebay is too chansy with getting ripped off, and Mritline.com may well have 100 for 29, but shipping puts that at 49.97. for 3 cents I will go to OM and/or BB.

Like I said, Fry's is still cheaper with $3.99 / 10 pack.

and if you don't have a Fry's near you, that's not my problem. :D

I walked into compusa with a big foleys bag and took about 100. My friends all did the same. There was still a good 1000 there. The CompUSA people were just laughin away.
