eBay.

There's an affordable new edition coming in a few months. But with pretty ugly artwork. You'll find it on amazon etc.

I got that when it first came out and seem to recall it being cheaper than the single UK version, bargain of the century!

Received:
Synecdoche New York (US Blu-ray)
The Shiver of the Vampires (US Blu-ray)

A nice surprise as they were ordered on 24/08, didn't arrive, got refunded, then received an e-mail on 11/10 saying they were being held at customs and to disregard said e-mail if I'd already been refunded. The packages hadn't even been opened, so perhaps the seller just hadn't paid enough postage or tax.

Someone traded their INDIANA JONES collection already? Judging by CEX prices for Blu Rays I bet you had to 'spring clean' a lot of shit to get those. :D

They only accept titles that have a BBFC rating.

Actually now the BD only cost me $17.99 all in because Amazon gave me a shipping refund when it arrived a week late, thanks Amazon :D

Not looking to exchange titles so I guess Magpie is easier as they pick up your boxes via courier and many of my titles are imports.

Received: Blade (UK Blu-ray).

Edit: Wow, the picture quality is amazing, the film looks brand new. If only I had a surround sound system capable of HD audio.

A bomb, customs fee for The Gsme BD was 11 quid :angry:
Or do you mean the customs limit? In the UK the limit you can buy without incurring customs is £15.

why do you insist on buying from places that are a magnet to customs? surely you'd be better off paying a few quid more and buying from somewere customs-safe :dontknow:

I think it's 20% of the cost of item in custom taxes plus £8 post office handling fee. So if I'm right that would be £12 for a £20 item. If the item is liable for tax (i.e. over £15) then so is the postage.
