I already know about half.com. I was wondering if there was a more simple answer.

You can often find some decent deals on Ebay

I'd also like to reiterate for the hundreth time that if you're going to shop for anime on Ebay know what you're looking for. Bootlegs are all over Ebay so please educate yourself as to what's fake and what's real. Here's a very good guide on anime bootlegs.

Best Buy runs for about $10 cheaper than Suncoast, Frys is about $5 cheaper.
Many places sell boots (especially on-line stores, I won't mention Anime Castle by name) claiming they're imports, so be careful there. REAL Japanese imports run about $40-$50/disc (usually carrying 2 episodes). Most stuff out of China is bootlegged

Also look out for "Region Free" DVDs, and DVDs without an English Language track

about overstock, make sure what you want is in stock (and they have the correct product picture), or that you're willing to wait for it. I orered several english manga nearly six weeks ago (Jan. 23rd), expecting them to end up at my home maybe a week after their release (Feb. 8th), but overstock's release date changed two weeks to the 18th, they still havent shipped. Also they have one of the worst return policies, in addition to not being able to cancel an order.
