Keep in mind that Amazon only has free shipping on their items. If you order something used or cheap in the "marketplace" you have to pay shipping to the "marketplace merchants."

So, it's safe to say that I can order as much as I want? I mean, the items will be paid once the items are shipped?
Can't really say about items that are in stock due to Amazon's speedy shipment scheadule but for certain that's how it works when I pre-order.
So as long as it's a pre-ordered item?

So the 1 cent DBZ singles are a trick?

The shipping regulary is 2.98 within the US anyway so it isnt much of a difference.

Actually Amazon normally offers discounts for items that they sell.

79.98 is the RRP.

Amazon's pre-order price is $55.99 once it's out the price will go up, but probably only by ten dollars or so.

It's not just Amazon. It's the combination of Amazon, Dragonball Z, and the promise of something for one cent.

...yeah that's all I got. :oops:

Recommended Retail Price, or MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price), it's basically what the company making the item suggest retailers should charge, however retailers in most cases charge below and accept lower profit margins on each individual item, to achieve higher sales.

So it won't c harge me until it actually ships? I wonder if I should wait until it shows up at RightStuf. I mean, isn't RightStuf in the league with Funimation, meaning Funimation would include gifts for whoever pre-ordered, like Toei did?

I have never heard from anyone about this. Have you heard of, at least, Funimation doing that for their items that sells on RightStuf.

Right Stuf is the warehouse for Funimation and ADV. Now there is no evidence of a Right Stuf only exclusive preorder gift.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
