Speaking of retail therapy
I'm having a bad idea, but it's a good one.
Maybe. Help me out here, I want an opinion.
Buffy - Season 7 came out this week.
Now, this is one show I want access to. I want these boxed sets.
However, thanks to money restraints, I only have 3 (maybe 4, I thought I had 1, 2, 3, and 5, but now I'm not sure) out of 7 sets so far.
Now, there's another set coming out in December - the full series.
I could do the following:
1) Finish what I started, spend the potential $45-50 on each. Let's allot $150 for this.
OR
2) Sell the sets I have NOW, put away some other cash, and preorder the whole season. I don't have the amount in front of me, but DeepDiscountDVD's preorder price is something like $170. As opposed to $250.
I'M thinking that I could "make" money on this - I'd be spending the same money to finish the box sets. So that's money I'm going to spend. AND THEN - by selling my sets I'd get cash back against it.
I dunno - what do we think? I can confirm the presale price later - I remember thinking how silly cheap it was.
