TCB Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I would like to buy this course ( History of the United States) on DVD to use next year. I was wondering what was the lowest price that you had been able to purchase it for? I think I need the DVD rather than Cd because I've read there are quite a few maps etc used in the lectures. Also, our internet is not great for streaming. I've seen it for $199 on sale recently, but wondered if it would go any lower. I've seen some for sale on Ebay, but not much lower in price.

Janeway Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I saw it at our library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinabook Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I think I paid about $100 for the course on dvd several years ago. I don't know that you need the dvd, but my dd much prefers taking notes when she can watch the lecturer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronghorn Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 We are listening to library copies in the car. We are through two sevenths of the lecctures and have not noticed any map references. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfOrdinary Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Have you checked amazon and ebay? Amazon is often cheaper, but if you stalk the titke a bit, you can get steals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I've seen it on DVD for just over $100 on sale. I bought the audio through Audible when they had a huge sale on their Great Courses. I'm halfway through and glad I didn't go with the video. We just get the audio done much easier around here. Nothing I needed the video for has come up. (I like the first lecturer's voice best so far!) Edited March 17, 2016 by RootAnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 DD/10th used an Audible edition last year, and we didn't once wish we'd bought the DVD instead. At the time the guides didn't even come with them; now they do. I picked ours up for free when I signed up for Audible's free trial. One credit = one whole Great Course series. I could have canceled before paying the monthly $15, but it's a nice inexpensive way to build our collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Elliot Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I just wanted to say this has been a super timely and helpful thread for me as I plan for next year. You all saved me a lot of money. I used an audible credit to buy the audio, an idea that hadn't occurred to me before. And it hadn't occurred to me to ask here either, for some reason. Thanks op for asking the question, and thanks everyone else for your thoughtful replies. This is what I love about this board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks for the replies! Now I'm wondering if we do need the dvds or if we should just go with audio. Thanks for the advice and information. I would be interested to hear from anyone who did get the dvds and thought that they added to the course.
