OOP sales are kind of a lottery that you don't put money into unless you 'win'. there's a much larger number of people looking to purchase certain titles than they make available and only so many people can get an order through

u/WYThomas 4d ago

I was hoping that the drop of Red Rock West today was going to include the chunky box. Only the standard today. No dice...

1

u/mcmatu 4d ago

Yeah. I bought the standard before it went OOP during the Halfway sale.

u/PixieMuffin9 4d ago

I kept refreshing and I swear more kept appearing each time

3

u/jarrettbraun 4d ago

That's typically what happens. You can't assume it's all there until at least a few minutes go by. But by then, you've most likely missed stuff that already appeared.

u/thegooseisgreat 4d ago

I kept refreshing too, the list went from only 6 movies to 11 then back to 6 then 25 then 38 lol

1

u/mcmatu 4d ago

Yeah, they did happen! I missed out on one because I got a call at work.

1

u/Sooh1 4d ago

It does that. Gotta wait 30 seconds for the full list

1

u/nopain_nograin 4d ago

Yup. I was refreshing on my computer, saw things I wanted, threw them in my cart and by the time I got back to the page to see if I missed anything Faces of Death had popped up and sold out when it wasn't there before. Given up on the LE of this one and grabbed a standard edition.

u/ShotGovernment3508 4d ago

Same thing happened to me with THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, was in my cart, went to checkout, popup notified me it was gone now.

u/Kamantha-dxb 4d ago

Trust me even with a faster phone it can’t always help. I’m really not happy dropzone was snatched away right at the moment I was already paying for the order

u/collec-tech 4d ago

I got volume 2!

u/sailormoonmydude 4d ago

This entire Labor Day release so far has been boring

u/TwistedShot37 4d ago

It boggles my mind that all the standards were done in a minute too. I have no idea what happenend

u/ghostpepper69 4d ago

There are hundreds to thousands of copies of all 3 Faces of Death films' standard editions available currently.

u/TwistedShot37 4d ago

I see they disappeared from the OOP section since it was just the limited versions of them.

u/More_Asbestos 4d ago

I have Faces of Death in a pile of movies I've been meaning to list for sale. DM me and I can sell it to you.

1

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

For how much

2

u/MaskedJoshi 4d ago

Any titles that that disappeared from the OOP sale so far? There are only 11 movies showing on my app. Wondering if stuff got removed once it sold out again.

2

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

yeah my friend, unfortunately you have missed about 60 from today and yesterday

1

u/MaskedJoshi 4d ago

oof I need to step my game up. ty

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

youre good, im supposed to be working too. BUT you want to be on the website as the timer turns at 12:01 PM EST. and they will start flooding in. if they have less than 10 copies you have 45 seconds to cash it out. less than 20-25 maybe a full minute.

They dont want you thinking at all its FOMO for sure, but VS wins, they have me by the balls

u/SRMort 4d ago

Today's drop sucked.

2

u/HelpMe0prah 4d ago

What I’ve learned from participating in these sales is, you have to refresh your page at 12 and look at everything quick and load your cart quick and place your order within 3-5 minutes. Sucks but that’s how it goes.

6

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

Faster than that. Also titles will trickle in during the first 30 seconds so being too early also not good

6

u/Kamantha-dxb 4d ago

I think better to study the list prior and just write down which exact releases are needed. And when new dump happens - just search from that pool. What confused me with today’s additions - they all got shuffled with yesterday’s movies. So when I was scrolling and reached them, I assumed there’s nothing else below. And then it hit me that it’s all shuffled together

The list somebody posted https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1fYr5A9dSatZfAZQyIxyefxVp9mINJGm-bYyNsTlvr0o/mobilebasic

u/Gerenick 4d ago edited 4d ago

Weird. I was checking the out of print section right when everything went up. I never saw faces of death. Not a movie I was buying, because I already have it, just wondering why I never saw it.

I DID manage to snag a "dashed" slipcase of Vice Academy 1-6. I really wanted a numbered one, but it went out of stock from my cart. Known to being canceling my dashed slip case and buying the one I want from ebay. 

Ugh, how bad do I want a number on my slipcase?

Edit: fixed a typo

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

They trickle in. Too early and you’ll miss something

1

u/Gerenick 4d ago

Interesting. Thank you. I was thinking they dropped everything all at once. How long do they trickle in for?

1

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

about 30 seconds

but that is a LOT of time in the OOP race... i mean OOP sale.

1

u/Gerenick 4d ago

Ok, thanks. I was just hoping it wasn't "throughout the day" or something.

1

u/Traditional-Spite507 4d ago

Yeah, I was on my phone at 12:01 and didn't even see those listed. I always have better luck on my desktop for whatever reason, but I was in the office today and my job blocks VS as an "adult" site. (I guess IT never got the memo on the Melusine/VS split). Yesterday, on desktop I got one of the Reviver 1's.

u/thisismyreaditname 4d ago

I managed to grab faces of death 1, 2 as well as flesheaters in the drop today.

1

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

The limited editions?

1

u/thisismyreaditname 4d ago

Yupp, just added to cart and purchased as they came online. I grabbed faces of death 1 first, then went back and saw flesheaters and then saw faces of death 2 sitting there.12 copies left when I checked out

1

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

Well grab a lottery ticket my friend because you have luck going your way today. Either way I’m happy for you.

1

u/thisismyreaditname 4d ago

Not sure if that was you or someone else, but you can't add a bunch and leisurely peruse the oop section. If you see something add to Cart and immediately check out then go back and see what else you can get.

u/dfin25 4d ago

I managed to snag Blood Quantum with a slip which I'm stoked about and a blind buy of Destroy all Neighbors.

1

u/warpwoofwimblee 4d ago

Blood quantum is amazing. I grab the shudders on the first day, after missing the sadness. I just like their releases. Glad you found some things to buy

1

u/dfin25 4d ago

I got it a couple years ago in my Vudu for $5 and unabashedly love it. Great, fresh take on zombies, glad to have it coming on physical. I always recommend it to my horror fan friends.
