Page 1 of WHY IS BLACKSTAR SO EXPENSIVE?

hi guys, i was wondering who ever uses blackstar for their purchases? I have NEVER seen a good bargain on there...looking through their sale list, most sale prices are for things i wouldnt even CONSIDER buying, and if i did, i wouldnt at THAT price! Anyone else feel that way?

Blackstar`s prices used to be very good, but I seem to recall that they weren`t making enough money and so needed to do something about it.

They do have some bargains now and again, but I would imagine most of their customers go there for their customer service or don`t know about other, cheaper e-tailers.

They used to offer a flat 20% off all preorders (DVDs and VHS) so were very competitively priced. However as Rich said they were suffering financially so in Autumn 2000 this was reduced to only 10%. Also by making postage extra confuses people into thinking they are cheaper than they are at first glance.

Therefore why shop there use Play instead.

Blackstar do have the video hunt feature,buts that the only plus. Play are fantastic.

It`s a shame, really - I used to use Blackstar for VHS (well before I had a DVD player!), and they were very good - their customer service was (and could be still) second to none. I remember a few years ago receiving a free copy of the classic "It`s a Wonderful Life" for merely being a customer.
