Looks like a day late and a dollar short on the Buffy DVDs, was only available on the 21st.

If it helps anyone, DeepDiscount currently has the set for under $82. That's still $118 off it's $200 list price. I've bought DVDs in the past from them with no problem and they have a free (but slower) shipping option.
