Sailor Moon Season 1 Box Set - DON'T BUY AT SUNCOAST!

Postby Garylisk » Mon Jul 28, 2003 3:27 pm

Suncoast is selling the Sailor Moon season 1 uncut/subbed box set for 150 dollars. However, everywhere else seems to be selling it for 100. Gamestop, Best Buy, etc...

So I repeat... DO NOT BUY THE SM SEASON 1 BOX FROM SUNCOAST AT ANY COST! (Cuz it'd be 150 bucks.. that's 50 extra bucks you just wasted...)

Did you ever find something at SunCoast that is cheaper than any other place?

I knew they screwed me the moment I had to pay 7.50 for the damn membership :roll:

Yeah Suncoast is a retail store. Thus, they tend to sell things at MSRP unless they're having a sale. And even then, their sale prices aren't necessarily cheaper than a wholesale store.

They generally have a good selection though, if you can't something elsewhere.

Or if you're like me... I know how to get some good discounts at SunCoast!

*got 3 DVDs of Hyper Police and a box of Strawberry Pocky for $23.
*they were scanned at regular price and put on my Membership card and then the discounts! 8)

You just need to know people! *got massive discounts at the ADV/SunCoast booth at A-Kon!

As for the Sailor Moon Season 1 Box, I saw it for $98 at my local SunCoast... *some people know how to treat their anime fans! 8)

I bought the entire Neon Genesis Evangelion series from SunCoast. I spent a huge amount of money. This was before I found out about the boxset. I feel ashamed now...

If you think that's bad...I bought the original Eva tapes from Suncoast when they were first released. Later, I got the individual Eva DVDs from discount places like Best Buy. Then the art box separately from The Right Stuf.

Then to top it off, I sold all 13 tapes to Half Price Books this afternoon for about 50 cents apiece. Which I suppose was better than nothing. :(

I believe Kliny was referencing eBay to selling the tapes for only $0.50 each.

Sure. I think I have an account there. :?

From what I've seen at Ebay, anime tapes get no bids unless they are rare items - like a Unico tape that was up for sale yesterday. I also checked the trading page at the AWA forum. Even offered them cheap ($1) to some anime fans I know here. In an age of digisubs and DVD rips, VHS tapes are a very hard sell.

The flip side is that if you're looking for anime on the cheap, these resellers like Half Price Books are an easy way to get tapes and DVDs. They're going for about $5-$7 each. Some rare items show up there, too.

Oh, the other thing about Ebay is the hassle factor of shipping and collecting money. I'm willing to give up some $$$ just to avoid all that.

Yeah actually I did check ebay right after posting that and x_X. Tapes are going for only a few dollars and many are not even selling.

:oops:
