babyteen Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm interested in purchasing "Classic Albums: Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life". However, I've been in contact with Nathaniel Oberstein, the lead customer service representative of Eagle Rock Entertainment in New York, and he told me that, not only did Rhino Entertainment release this particular episode of the "Classic Albums" series, but that this particular title has long since been out of print. I've checked with http://www.amazon.com, and it says that a new copy of this DVD costs at least $198 through a third-party seller. Is there a way I can get an authentic, new, factory-sealed copy for a cheaper price than $198? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I guess your best bet to find it cheaper is via an auction on http://www.ebay.com . After a quick search there I got these results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick search there I got these results Farin I think you might be a bit confused. I was looking for the DVD that's part of the "Classic Albums" series of documentaries, not the album on CD.

Farin Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ah, I see... is it this one? you can buy that - used, but in "good" condition - for $37 (+ shipping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyteen Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ah, I see... is it this one? you can buy that - used, but in "good" condition - for $37 (+ shipping) That's the one. However, I'm confused. When they say "Good Condition", do they mean something like "Used, like new"? Maybe they mean, "Still Sealed"? I'm confused.

Farin Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 When they say "Good Condition", do they mean something like "Used, like new"? Maybe they mean, "Still Sealed"? I'm confused. probably neither, I would guess it means something like "it's been opened and used, but without any big damages (like scratches on the DVD, eg)" I'm not 100% sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyteen Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I wonder if there are any stores that specialize in out-of-print videos and DVD's that are still new and factory-sealed? Maybe somebody might have a leftover copy of this DVD that's new and still sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe somebody might have a leftover copy of this DVD that's new and still sealed. I guess you can search for this by posting on many forums and advertise on sites and be very lucky. But ebay is a good solution and if you really can't find it, it might be tolerated you download it and burn it on a dvd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Most music stores (not internet) will be glad to order any Artist that either they don't have in stock or have been unlucky to find. I've had to order a great majority of my music. Takes usually ten working days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've purchased (and sold) many things on e-Bay and Amazon and I've never had a problem nor received any bad CD's or DVD's whether they were new, like new or used. Give it a try. Most sellers will offer a return policy if you're not satisfied. Usually it's posted but if not just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a try. Most sellers will offer a return policy if you're not satisfied. Usually it's posted but if not just ask. I've purchased a few items that were marketed as "Used, Like New", through Amazon.com's third-party Sellers, and strangely enough, when I analyzed them, I discovered they were in fact pirated! These were mainly Disney DVD's that were from the "Limited Issue" series. I wonder, how do people get away with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you report those people they probably won't get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyteen Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you report those people they probably won't get away with it. So I'm wondering if there's any sellers that have leftover copies that are new and still sealed. I checked on Ebay, and one of the sellers has one that's "Used, like New", but the bidding time has just ended. What do I do next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 If the bidding ended without a winner you should send a message to the seller that you are interested. Maybe you could work out a deal. Even if the item sold there is an outside chance that the seller has access to another original DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaljeff Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Maybe you could record it from VH1 Classic. They'll replay it about 3-4 dozen time in the next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyteen Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Maybe you could record it from VH1 Classic. They'll replay it about 3-4 dozen time in the next month The problem is, I don't have VH1 classic on the TV that's in my bedroom. Though we might have it on the TV in our living room, since we have over 600 channels on that particular TV. We have Comcast Digital Cable.

MuzikTyme Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 You don't have VH1 classic in your bedroom yet have 600 channels on a particular TV? Man, that's a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyteen Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 You don't have VH1 classic in your bedroom yet have 600 channels on a particular TV? Man, that's a tragedy. That's because I live at my mother's house, and my mother and stepfather can't afford to put digital boxes in all of our rooms. By the way, I also live with my sister and brother.
