Okay, the standard anime DVD ranges from $20-$30 and you're getting what? Three, four, five episodes? That's pretty expensive. If you don't want to watch anime on the computer - or just can't find it - you'll either have to settle with not watching it or dishing out the cash.
Time to save some money. First, you'll need a Paypal account.
www.paypal.com
With this, you can pretty much buy anything on the internet.
Now it's time to set out for what you're looking for.
Tip: Try to buy a box set; buying seperate DVDs can be time cosuming and annoying. If there isn't a box set, do your best to find deals with a few of the DVDs.
Websites to search::
www.rightstuf.com - Nice varity of anime (and other items) at decent prices; check out their specials some times. I've bought from them before and was very pleased.
www.suncoast.com - Not highly recommended but you can get an idea of what the box set or DVD looks like to avoid bootlegs.
www.rottentomatoes.com - funny name but this is where I found my best deal. They list prices from cheapest to highest and have a very wide variety.
Websites to buy from::
www.overstock.com - Very pleased! Purchased a six disc box set for only $20. That's the price of one DVD!
www.ebay.com - Can be risky at times but has some good deals. I purchased three used DVDs for $15, the series also does not have a boxset. Try to avoid bootlegs though ^^;
www.amazon.com - Not my favorite but I have bought from here.
These websites have been from my online shopping experiences. I may add or even remove websites. If you have any conerns, please PM me.

Avoiding Bootlegs::
It's pretty easy to avoid bootlegs. Generally when there's just a picture of the anime and not an actual box set - it's fake. Meaning someone just burned the series to a disc and you could possibly be getting a bad quality DVD. That's why I advise you to look up the item first then start searching.
Just to good to be true::
Sometimes it just gets too tempting not to buy. The price is good and you're getting a whole series! Look at the feedback for the item or seller; if it seems good and you want to spend your money - go for it.
Bootlegs Purchased::
Original X-Man and X-Men Evolution - My brother bought them from a seller who sold many different series. I believe it was $20 each. The sound quality was a little bit messed up in some episodes and some quality issues but still pretty good.
Loveless - I bought the complete subbed series for $10. It was on one disc and the quality was great.

Thanks for the website!
Big Update for RightStuf:
By purchasing over $49 worth of manga - I got free shipping. But that's not at all; using a coupon special I was also able to save 20% on each item purchased. I saved $10 plus free shipping for eight books. Total spent: $57.65
Considering most of these books are worth $10-12 in the stores - it was one hell of a deal.

That animeniacs website is awesome! I've bought most of my anime and movies for $10 but I could never find a box set for $24! Now all I need is a paypal account.
