Is there a best time to buy? - Blu-ray Forum

Many of us agree that Amazon.com has the best prices on bluray, especially with the market place option. My question is, for those of you that have used the market place, have you found a time of day or a day of the week that the prices are the lowest?

I've bought from the Marketplace many times and it's just 3rd party sellers like people listing on Ebay, but with fixed prices. The prices don't change unless they decide to lower them for whatever reason and new ones are adding items all of the time. The lowest price shown will just be whatever seller happens to be the lowest at the time until they sell out, then the next seller with the lowest price will be listed first.

I understand all that. I was curious if anyone has noticed a best time to buy. They say to buy electronics in the spring, cars in the spring, appliances in the fall, clothes on friday, etc. etc. because that is when the prices are the lowest. What about movies? Anyone notice any trends?

Oh ok. Other than Black Friday, which doesn't affect the Amazon Marketplace, there's no time better than another to buy movies. Amazon has great sales from time to time though but they are random.
