I've seen it from both sides

I have been the business owner, where I have to make money to survive. Oh some occasions, this has involve literally having a 100% mark-up on the trade cost, which I hated doing, but the customer never knew anything about it

I have also been the customer, where the first point-of-call in a supermarket is the reduced and dented tins shelves and the near-to-date cooler things. I know the exact time of the day to go to the local Morrisons or Tesco when the reduced items are being put out. Why? Because it's human nature to try everything to save money

If you have money, they is fine. If you don't have money, tho, circumstances dictate that you don't/can't* spend a lot on things in the Arrow DVD/Blu-Ray sale

At the end of the day, tho, it's a handful of films. My life isn't going to end because I don't have a physical copy of 'Driller Killer' or 'The Tin Drum' and I bet Arrow aren't going to stop trading because they have not got £XX's out of me
