I also thought I'd point out that I don't mean cheap as in the quality of production, but cheap as in prices.

Animenation has a wide selection, and they are legit too.

Rightstuf only has certain things, and they may not have what you're looking for.

I would recommend Right Stuf or Animeonestop. Remember that these stores also sell anime DVDs that are not appropriate for minors, so browse with caution. Right Stuf has an advanced search that will allow you to search for all DVDs other than mature ones.

Discount Anime DVD is an awesome site. Granted their Japanese only DVD's are bootlegs and junk, but their English releases are 100% true. I've also ordered from them loads of times, so now worries on that.

Another awesome one is [url=deepdiscountdvd.com]Deep Discount DVD[/url]. Although they sell DVD's in general (and may not carry some releases), over all they are friggin amazing. Talk about insane sales...the fact their shipping costs for 2nd day air is only like...nine dollars or so just makes the whole thing even more amazing. If you need a real deal, check here first. Their service is great and most of the time they do have it. If not, the first one is the next best thing IMO.

Ebay has alot of bootlegs BUT if you know what you're looking for and can identify the fake from the real stuff you can get incredible deals there. I've gotten the entire Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig season all 7 DVD's for $60 with shipping. Also I got the entire Gundam Wing collection all 10 DVD's for like $50 something awhile back. Granted those were used but they're pretty much perfect. And you can usually buy individual volumes of shows for as cheap as $5-10.

I second ebay, amazon is also good. Just watch out for bootlegs.

I third eBay, it's quite possible to find great deals so long as you can identify the bootlegs and weed them out. Not hard if you know what to look for.

I also recommend Rightstuf. They're always having sales, check frequently and sooner or later something you want will probably become available at a discount.

Actually, one tip that I've found....watch the retail forum on AnimeNewsNetwork. A lot of online anime stores will advertise there when they're having big sales, and members will also post there when they notice that, for instance, Border's has a sale.

Speaking of Borders, check out their "rewards" program. It's free, and you get 10% off a day of shopping if you spend $50 or more--plus, all sorts of nifty coupons through e-mail. I got one for 40% off a boxset that I used on the Azumanga Daioh thinpack.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! So far, in my opinion, the best website that has been suggested to me that I've checked out is Deep Discount DVD.^^

Both Animenation and Rightstuf have sections where you can get pre-owned titles.
As far as Animenation goes they do divide their pre-owned section into different
categories:
*Anime DVDs
*Hentai(i.e. Adult)DVDs
*Anime CDs
*Manga
So if you go there and try to order a DVD from their pre-owned you don't have to worry about it being Hentai as long as you click on to just the Anime DVDs section.
For the most part they sell their pre-owned DVDs for around $5.99 per.
Though it does depend on what title you might be looking for,same with Rightstuf,although their prices vary still most of them are under $20.
Another thing you can also do is to look up in the main catalog and check to see if they have anything $22 or under,sometimes they will.
In generally though try Rightstuf,Animenation or Robert's Anime Corner Store as they're the three main ones that specialize in Anime,etc.

I'll have to check out Animenation. It sounds like it might have some pretty sweet deals.
