    Competition closes midnight Sunday the 14th of October

    The Best Bargain
    The winning entries will be the people who post the deals with the highest percentage difference between the lowest price and the next cheapest price. So you're looking for dvds that are much cheaper than the next cheapest merchant in the price comparison table (rather than how much is saved off the RRP). You can enter more than once if you've found a better deal. Bonus points for hunting down a bargain yourself rather than copying from another forum.

    New Visitors Need to Register to Enter

    Well to get the ball rolling this one is a real bargain:

    Down from £270 to £145.

    But I am sure I can find a better deal :face-smile:

    Thanks for kicking things off Jenny.

    I've changed your link (that went directly to the Play.com site) to go to the
    DVD Collections price comparison page so it's easier to compare savings with other merchants and weigh up its bargainability :D

    Although it's a great deal compared to the RRP of £270 it's only about £5 cheaper than DVD.co.uk's next cheapest price. The bargains I'll be looking for will be ones that are much cheaper compared to the next best price rather than the RRP which can often be over inflated to begin with. Hope that helps :)

    You've got the hang of it now Jenny, that's going to be hard to beat :)

    As 101CD and Blah DVD are the same company they count as the same merchant so the best price is £9.19 and the next cheapest price is £41.75 at Foxy which I think makes 101CD 78% cheaper than Foxy. Which must put you in the lead.

    If everyone could also add the best price and next cheapest price to their posts then I can scan through the deals easier when I'm trying to get my head round who's actually in the lead...

    Hope you're not all as confused as me :face-tongue:

    Nice finds too Robtallica, holding down 2nd place, surely not another podium finish :face-monkey:

    Actually lostfrog (great username) might be in 2nd place for the Clint Eastwood set, really good deal. I'll work out the percentages later when my brain comes back.

    They say all good things come in threes but not so sure after that selection weller :D reckon I can better you for quality viewing with a dvd I stumbled upon:
    Combine Harvesters, Lorries And Tractors
    Imagine watching that after a romantic meal for two, candles flickering in the background...

    As for the -11% deal we might have to start a whole new competition to find the worst possible deal on the site, afraid -11% probably isn't the worst either.

    Back to the comp... take a leaf out the book of lostfrog, ignore the RRP saving and track down the ones with the biggest price difference between lowest and next lowest. The Buffy one's a really good deal.

    Good finds Jenny, the price ranges can be pretty unreal.

    Wow, great find jadring, puts you right in the running for a prize :)

    I make it a 70% saving off the next price too. Anyone else struggling to work out the percentage here's what I do, probably easier ways though:

    Divide the next best price by 100 - so for the above set that gives me 82p. Then divide the best price (£24.96) by that amount (82p) which comes out at just over 30. Subtract 30 from 100 and you get 70. So 70% difference. I think :D

    I'll post the deal in the forum too in case anyone misses it.

    Ha, looks like we could be having a gunfight at the OK Corral to determine the winner here...

    Can't argue with the prices, way cheaper at uWish (definitely a good place to check for this comp) than anywhere else.

    Won't be rushing to buy them though! Begs the age old question that if a tree falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it - is a bargain still a bargain if it exists but no one wants to buy it? :face-devil:

    Rugby taunts are water off a duck's back to me, let the goading start when the rounded ball euro qualifiers are back underway :D

    Here's the current standings, only half a percent in it!

    Currently in 1st place:
    jadring - with this dvd - lowest price is 85.5% cheaper than the next best.

    Currently in 2nd place:
    robtallica - with this dvd - lowest price is 85% cheaper than the next best.

    Currently in 3rd place:
    jenny - with this box set - lowest price is 78% cheaper than the next best.

    If you don't think you can beat those numbers then I'm going to offer a bonus prize of another boxset, but don't worry, it won't have anything to do with percentages! Details coming up in the next post.
