The lowest would be $9 for the Armitage: Poly Matrix film, the most expensive would be my Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam LE Boxset.

The highest I've would be 80 dollars for my Gundam Wing Box set ebay of course. The lowest I bought anything would be my EVA collection for 6 or 7 dollars, (don't remember) brand new dvds that included Death and Rebirth, and the ever popular End of Eva. But I think the fullmetal alchemist will end being the most expensive down the line. First dvd and boxset 30 someodd dollars from your friends at bestbuy when you have the magic bestbuy debit Laughing. Speaking of which FMA is going to be ten dvds or will it be more? My special tin (Which has these stupid AS stickers on it and I want to take them off but fear of wrecking my preicous tin) holds five dvds. But the again this is 51 epsiode series so I am not sure what they are doing.

Least expensive anime DVD that I bought: $7.95 for The World of Narue Anime Test Drive DVD. (I don't know if this counts - it was just the first episode and a bunch of CPM trailers.)

Most expensive anime DVD that I bought: $120 for the Uncut Sailor Moon box set.

Is "free" also a price? Very Happy I got lots of discs as present from a friend, including the complete Gasaraki and the Banner of the Stars Boxset.

The least I have paid for a second-hand Anime DVD got to be the first Ranma 1/2 Movie for chf 9.90 (~8$). Gosh that DVD is OLD. It doesnt have a amaray case just a hardcover box with a "normal" cd-case in it.

And the most expensive Anime DVD in my collection must be the Princess Mononoke Ghibli DVD. It was chf 79.90 (~66$) and also I got plenty ripped off for it Evil or Very Mad Not because the DVD is bad but because I found it later in another store for less.

Highest, I think was my NGE Perfect collection: $160.

Lowest? I'm not sure. I think it was around $14 or something. I can't even remember what the anime disc was.

The most expensive item I ever bought is a sealed Limited Edition .hack//SIGN Vol.1 for about $150, also from eBay.


If it was that Octagon Box, I got mine for $40 for Two at Gamestop.

Cheapest? I've gotten a few DVD's for free....just don't remeber which ones.

Expensive? Spent about $500 for a Collection of Anime on eBay about a week ago. I'll dig it up later.

Yeah... And I was hoping to find something good for that half off anime promotion, but all the Gamestops around here don't sell squat in terms of anime. All they have are a bunch of used DBZ and GT DVDs... Anime cry.

Lowest: $6.99 for RG Veda (was apparently on a clearance sale, even though the sticker had $19.95 on it -- a great buy!)

Highest: Tied between Excel Saga IMPerfect Collection boxset and Record of Lodoss War: Chronicle of the Heroic Knight boxset -- both at $99.

( The most I've paid for a complete collection as of right now, though, is Noir, which cost me a total of $220 ($30 x 6 DVDs + $40 for the Volume 1 + Art Box & T-Shirt). My next big collection, Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum at 8 DVDs total, is going to surpass that amount.)

There's only 7 volumes for Eva Platinum. And I don't see how you can pay more than $220 for all them and the box.

By my math, if you used Deep Discount DVD, the total (with free shipping) should come out like so:

Vol.1 + box = $23.99
Vol.2-7 = $17.99/DVD

Total = $131.93

And by the way, you payed WAY too much for Noir, in my opinion Razz.

Hmm. I thought I saw somewhere it was going to be eight...

btw, the picture for Volume 6 on the Releases page shows dual title lines. Are we getting the Original and the Directors Cut on one DVD? Shocked

If you paid full price for it from retail over time, yes.

Well, you get a great T-Shirt out of the deal, and I have a lot of great material for my AMVs now. Wink

(But, seriously, yeah, I probably did. Sad )
