Buffy Bargain!

[rebcake]

I have been coveting Buffy: The Chosen Collection on DVD ever since MiAmor started bringing home beat-up used versions of individual seasons, like a cat showing off a succession of dead birds. I praise him every time and appreciate the gesture, but I realized that eventually we would have 2-3 copies of every season and no shelf space. But coveting in rebcake-world doesn't mean shelling out $200, either.

Today, while I was cruising around, cursing the lack of e-mails coming from LJ, I discovered an amazing bargain! DeepDiscountDVD.com has it for $81.59, free shipping, as of (updated) today, Wednesday, Nov. 26. Update: Price war! It looks as if Amazon.com is ready to duke it out, and is offering it for $70, free shipping on Friday, November 21 only. It's possible that everybody on my F-list already has this little baby, or could care less, or hates commercialism, or lives overseas and will curse me for teasing them. Completely understandable. Still, I love a bargain, and I'm sharing!

More importantly, when-oh-when will we have our e-mail notifications back? It's been days, and it's annoying. I'm glad this didn't happen during seasonal_spuffy, but still! If I haven't replied to any comments, it's because I didn't get 'em yet (and probably never will). Sheesh!

Update, redux: The e-mail notifications are coming again! I'll won't get any from comments made between 8AM PST Tuesday and 11:25AM PST today (Friday), but it should be okay going forward.

Why are you not getting your email notifications? As far as I know, I'm getting all of mine.

Because LJ has:

Known Issues

* LiveJournal recently relocated its servers from California to Montana. While this move went smoothly, a few minor problems remain:

* Outbound email to AT&T/Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL is currently blocked or delayed. LiveJournal is working with these providers to have our new IP address whitelisted.

This minor problem is a royal pain. I keep checking back, but they just continue to add services that are NOT working correctly. Harrumph! I haven't received any notifications since before 8AM PST Tuesday.

Anyway, I hope I haven't left any of your comments unanswered. I'm sure it will all be better tomorrow.

I hope it's fixed now. And it's all very odd. I get my email notifications to my yahoo! account and they seem to have been arriving fine.

Okay! My e-mail notifications are coming, as of 11:25AM PST!

You can get it for $69 today at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AQ68RI/writingprofesion/)

Yes! That's what I'm talking about! I see there is at least one other bargain hunter out there!

I NEED IT, i'm getting my money on Monday and i am hoping on all things that is Joss, the price will remain! I HATE BEING BROKE! especially today lol!

The amazon deal is only good for 11/21. But if you put it on your credit card and your $ comes in Monday, you should be alright. The Deepdiscount offer will probably last a bit, but it's $20 more :(

Alas, it looks like the DeepDiscountDVD.com price is good until Sunday. Be sure to type in the code in the "enter code" box every time you see it! You'll have to do it more than once!
