LMAO !

Simple math

E.g.

Return item = $-20.00
Sell Item = $20.00
Profit Margin = 0
True Profit Margin if you include overhead would actually put you at a loss.

E.g. 2

Return item = $-20.00
Sell Item on Sale = $10.00
Profit Margin = $-10.00
Once again, True Profit Margin is at a greater net loss when you include overhead.




I'll bend and go with my brother Stormy ... :hi5:

LMAO yeah it is simple math.

E.G. 1 They also give me a gift card which l spend at their store so they make money. That is why they dont give you cash for the item, giving you walmart money is where they then make the money on that transaction. They give me $20 for the movie, they sell that movie for $20 (get their money back). What is the overhead? not much, some employee taking one minute to exchange it for me and another walking it to the shelf which takes 30 seconds. Then l spend the $20 they gave me back at their store (they make another $20).

If you are complaining about overhead, l can agree with that, but take that up with Walmart, not my fault this is their policy.

Update to my original post (quoted below).

I decided to order early. Screw it. Stuff was on sale now.

My indoctrination has begun.

I am not sure if you will like the Predator Hunters Edition, it is polished and DNRed to hell.

The alien movies in the Anthology look great though, especially the first.
 
now that's a haul dude. Awesome.

Thanks. What's not pictured is that I also got a new Polk Audio PSW110 subwoofer to replace my Yamaha POS that came with the original set that I got over four years ago. I've replaced the front speakers with decent home made ones that my father had built years ago with what was top of the line components back then, the receiver with an entry level Denon, and now the sub. Just gotta replace the surrounds and the center channel. Eventually I'll get new even better front speakers as well. For now, this new sub really punches. So glad that I got it.

I skipped through the Predator disc, and it looked pretty decent. I'll have to watch it all the way through to know for sure. You're right about the first Alien. I've read many reviews saying how good that transfer is. Again, I only skipped through it, but I'm looking forward to watching it all the way through.

For the Hunter edition it comes down to taste, some hate it and some love it. You will have to watch it for yourself. I had a choice between the other predator blu ray (first blu release) and bought that instead, haven't watched it yet though, but it's supposed to be grainy.

Anyway for the first Alien the picture is amazing (i also bought the Anthology a couple weeks ago) no grain for the most part (at least not any notacible grain). Aliens isn't as good, pretty grainy in some scenes but overall not bad and Alien 3 looks very good as well. Plus with these you get the extended Director cuts which are much better, especially Alien 3.

I didn't have a problem with it. If you're not the type of OCD snob who cries about not being able to see every drop in a waterfall or individual armpit hairs on background characters blowing in the wind, you won't have an issue with this.
 
Their main complaints were everyone looked like wax people. Reviews said Carl Weathers stash looked like it was painted on.

See part about OCD snob on previous post. :lol

Honestly man, something that obvious would stand out and cause a distraction. I've watched it several times over the course of bashing HT-quality Team Testosterone figures, to try and document all the gear they're wearing. Never once did I see a mustache that looked painted on, or anybody that looked like wax. Maybe if you're viewing it on a 90" Plasma or LCD, but I've got a 52" LCD flatscreen and didn't notice anything remotely detouring.
 
Best Buy's Upgrade Dvd's to Blu-ray coupons..
I been there twice now, when I get the coupons the BB guy just add's a sticker to my dvd's. When I check out they hand me my dvd's with the Blu-ray's I bought.
Do you have to give the Dvd's to someone??
