Sanity have shipped the 5 DVD set today, and according to the email it should arrive in 2-3 days. Looks like I won't be leaving the house this weekend.
I just bought the 5 DVD set at Sanity for $50!!! Sure that I'd read on here that it was going to sell for $90 - $100, I bought two sets (one for me, one for a Xmas pressie for my footy mates). I'm sure the shop assistant made a mistake when she checked the price. I would have bought three sets at that price but they only had two in stock.

I don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.

Bloody hell, that's all rite - which Sanity shop may I ask? Will all Sanity assistants be this incompetent or will I need to be lucky?

I better not say as I dont wanna get her into trouble. Besides, I bought the only two box sets they had in stock (just in by the looks of it). I'm feeling quite pleased with myself about it.

Originally posted by Mike_B They occasionally have something on sale meaning they can compete with other places, but generally speaking JB is the cheapest.
Yep JB Hi-Fi is the cheapest as a rule, I've usually found both HMV and Sanity to be dear too, unless they have a sale (or get the price wrong)...then they are great.

Having read your post I rang the local Sanity store at Southland (Melb) and they told me they had one copy only and it was $49.99 for the Victory 5 pack. I asked them to hold it and went straight over and got it. I asked if they had any others and they said no just the one as VEG (the producer) is a small outfit and they don't usually get much from them. I told the girl I would like another so she rang the other Southland store ( a smaller store) and they also had just the one. I walked over there and got their only copy too at $49.99.
Neither of the stores had even opened the delivery before I contacted them so thanks for the tip.
I did ask if they could get any more in and the girl said yes if I wanted to place an order. That is worth a try. I don't know whether the price is a mistake but it was the price that came up on both stores computer screens. My guess is that the $49.99 price will appear as the price at all their stores until it is corrected (if it is a mistake).
If you want it at the $49.99 price I suggest you hurry to a Sanity store. Make sure you call them first to confirm they have one to put away and confirm the price.
BTW I just this minute received a email from the Swans Melbourne office telling me that they have the 'Sensational Swans' highlights package for $35 and the 5 DVD Victory Pack for $99.00. The 'Victory' pack includes the ''Sensational Swans' highlights pack so the Sanity price is a bargain.

Rastus,
You scored big on those two purchases, they are a mistake.
Currently on the Sanity system the 5 pack is scanning as the defunct 3 pack and none of the sales staff seem to give a stuff.
I picked this up last week when I went into the Melbourne Central store and asked the bloke if they had a copy. He didn't and went to the internal website and sourced the 5 disk product code. When he then went into the scanning system at the register the product code for the defunct 3 disk was the same!!!!!
The correct price RRP for the 5 disk set is $99.99, the $49.99 was for the defunct 3 disk set that VEG decided not to do.
Someone at head office Sanity is going to realise this soon and be mighty pi@@ed off.
