In my part of Western Wa, all I've seen in the last 3 weeks of any significance are restocks of Memento & The Dean Martin set. Nothing else of any import.

^The store near me has only about 20-30 titles left. Most are the low budget animated kids stuff (not anime) and a *few* PD titles. No new stock for 3 weeks. It's actually dwindled. Based on the titles I've seen disappear quickly it seems there are some "craft sale" or "country auction" folks cleaning them out to make a buck or two off the people who don't know about BL.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a PV'd Scorpion King and 2Fast2Furious at my big lots, but that was a while ago. With so many video stores going out of business, is it possible they were PV'd sets that some liquidator got a hold of and they were one-offs?

And who in the blue hell are you for the xage to provide a scanned receipt Oh Wait! You are that dude who thought it was suspicious when a customer gets a boatload of bargain stuff ( Sandman007 is suspicious link ). I wouldnt waste my time proving something especially to a memebr who cant accept reality if someone beats him to a bargain.

Irrelevant I guess, but, what the hey.

I agree, maybe those titles got there by mistake... Maybe a customer traded those for Bottoms up or the Frank Sinatra Movie pack.
Of course I haven't seen those 2 titles and there are 12 different Big Lots in my area.

Well, in the last week I've picked up
The Missing
Idendity
Steamboy
Hexed
Batman 1943 Serial
Ali (Director's Cut)
The Lords of Flatbush
Blue Thunder SE
Memento SE
Ace High
Man In The Vault
Nice bunch of movies for $3.00 each!
I've hit 7 different Big/Lots, and found something to pick up at all but one.

man I'd kill to have 12 big lots around here if they all got decent stock.
Then again, I probably would kill if I DID have them.
...myself, that is. By spending way more on gas than I saved on DVDs, leaving myself no money for food.

Even if he posted the receipt it would only say " DVD 3.00" or something like that.
Big Lots has there own barcode system.
Sounds like a good deal, I would go for it. Good for him.

I spotted Zentrix at my local BL. It was one of the DVDs in the picture so I tend to believe the poster isn't trying to fool anyone. He got lucky. I wonder if store employees wouldn't grab Firefly and Heroes before they made it to the shelf. Still watching for them. In unrelated news I have a local store called Rose's that has a bunch of DVDs for $1.67 each. They all have a U.A.V bar code pasted on them. Some are the really, and I mean really early works of some well known actors. But some decent titles such as 2 Days In The Valley, Night Shift, etc.
