this isnt a deal, more of a lack of deals on ebay - Blu-ray Forum

Snyder-man · 12-16-2008, 04:47 PM

i used to buy a new blu ray like once a week on ebay because i could find them so cheap, now ive noticed everything is way more expensive then in the store, i was looking for a Zohan and Get Smart on blu ray, and i was seeing prices like 44 bucks plus shipping, who on earth is paying that much. has anyone noticed the lack of deals on ebay lately???

yes. bought one a couple of weeks ago, used the buy it now option. looked through the other auctions to make sure there wasn't a better deal and saw people paying more than what i just did using the buy it now option. this included shipping costs as well.

what are people thinking???

The sellers are Drunk with Power!

It may have to do with holidays around the corner, maybe they are hoping to score some last week sales at higher prices for lazy people who don't want to price shop?

Amazon has ok prices but ebay has the possibility for great deals. Bought some blus for like 9.99$ like new condition. Also have holiday coupons ad stuff. Ebay is the way to go you just have to shop around.

Dear Blockbuster Online / Netflix:

Where are the blu-rays I ordered? They show being shipped, but I have yet to receive them...

As well as the holidays, the price hikes may have to do with ebay raising their seller fees, which of course is going to get handed down to us.
