Thems were the good ole days. Whenever people ask me how many DVDs I have I have to launch into the explanation of the early hot deals days and how I got 80% of my collection for at least 50% off retail (and over half for under $10).
Speaking of, any of you old timers remember when 800.com first started offering DVDs? They had that "3 DVDs for $1" promo. The selection was pretty decent and there was no shipping either. That's what started my collection. I did it with the two credit cards I had at the time, and then I basically phoned up all my friends and family asking if I could charge their card for $1 if I gave them $1 cash. Heh I was ruthless with that deal. The surprising thing was, 800.com survived a year or two after that before they closed in 2001.
Another site that had some really good prices + coupons was Onvia.com.
But yeah Value America was the best.

Oh man, I loved the good ol' days.
Both my friends got DVD players, a TV. I got a videocard, and some other junk 🙂
Remember the BestBuy Cali/Oregon MSN Deal? 400 0ff 400? CHACHING! I still have my panasonic TV that I payed sales tax for 🙂.

Yep, thanks to a legal loophole (which AT/DVDTalkers EXPLOITED BIG TIME) anyone in CA/OR could buy $400 in free stuff at any Office Depot, Best Buy and other stores back in January 2001 ... I bought a FREE Brother HL-1240 laser printer and my friend bought a FREE Palm V.
I called MSN the next day to cancel my MSN service they said ok, I was not charged any early penalty fees and got to keep my free $400 in OD stuff.
Wow, the memories.

I only regret not having gotten more. Yeah, it's greedy, but it'd be nice to have some more hardware lying around. 🙂
