It's a Wonderful Life - Well at Tesco Anyway

Cotta

Afternoon All,

Just popped into a Tesco in Belfast and I was going to buy a DVD of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" until I noticed the price - £14.99, for that price I would have expected Clarence to come free with the DVD. Unbelieveable that retailers would be foolish enough to charge such a high price.

I know - bah humbug

It's not just in Tesco, it's extortionate everywhere.

Unbelievable in that will people actually buy it at that price?

Forces of supply and demand at work! Tesco direct had it at £9.99 and Asda £11 - both out of stock

and Amazon has import-duty/tax on top


"New Region 1 DVDs are dispatched from the USA or Canada and you may be required to pay import duties and taxes on them"

I've just found it for a tenner on Amazon but tell me somebody, why is such an old film attracting so much interest?

I just picked up War Horse for a fiver in Tesco today and it's much more recent.

Am I missing something?

That's what it appears like to me, but why this film all of a sudden?
