The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is one of my favourite TV comedies.
I’ve never owned it on DVD, but I’ve been watching its price on amazon.co.uk.
As I write, the complete boxed set is selling at £24.97 with free postage.
A few weeks ago, the set was selling for around £39.
Earlier this year I saw it selling for around the £20 mark.
This is typical of most DVDs on Amazon.
If you buy several DVDs each year, the savings you can make by exercising patience are substantial.
Money Saving Tip: Only buy when Amazon offers a 33% discount or better.
What about buying from Amazon’s Used and New
Currently the lowest price of the Reginald Perrin box set on Amazon’s Used and New section is £17.01 plus £1.24 postage. Unfortunately, the seller has just 93% positive feedback. I prefer to buy only from sellers with 99%+ feedback. The lowest price from a 99%+ seller is £24.50 plus £1.24 postage. So, it’s cheaper to buy from Amazon itself.
What about eBay?
In my experience, a discounted price from Amazon is usually lower than new prices from dealers on ebay. Often, the prices on Amazon’s Used and New are lower than the selling price on ebay auctions.
Money Saving Tip: Always check Amazon’s Used and New price before bidding on ebay. It will help you not to overbid.
For the sake of comparison, the buy-it-now prices on ebay today for the complete Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin offered by two sellers are £34.95 plus £3.00 postage and £28.95 plus £3.00 postage. Amazon is cheaper.
