Way back when amazon.com was in it's infancy, I put many items on my wishlist. Two movies from my time in mis-spent youth were a part of that early list. At the time, I was financially strapped, DVDs were still a pricey media, and each DVD was around $70. Even today, I think that's a bit too much to pay for a movie.Last week as I was doing some digital housekeeping, I came across these little gems. I was delighted to discover the price on each had dropped significantly. One was down to $5.79 and the other a mere $1.99! What a deal!
I suppose there's a message to be learned from this. These were things I wanted but I didn't really need. I'm sure over the years I would have watched them maybe a couple of times each. I had essentially forgotten about them and now I've saved about $120. Heck, I pay more for coffee over the course of a week.I was so excited when they arrived last night in the mail. I'm thankful that I had the patience and foresight to not indulge back then, and I'm very thankful I now have two movies to make me nostalgic for the old days.
I guess good things do come to those who wait.
