madalienmonk Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 What stores have sales (be it coupon or other) on BF? Amazon? Target? B&N? Walmart?
danawales29 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 What a great question I would love to know yall's opinion on that as well.
bigjimslade Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Half Price Books. Below is a link to the ad we just posted today for BF. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/HalfPriceBooks Also I have found BN and Amazon has good book sales on BF.
madalienmonk Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah I saw that, 20% off is a little lackluster. What do the others usually do? (Amazon and BN)
fluffkin79 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Last year Walmart and Amazon had a price war on books and movies. I think Target got involved, too. Are you looking for a new release or an older book?
danawales29 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Man if all the stores especially amazon and powells would do a percentage off and free shipping but make sure the free shipping applies to used book sellers as well they would make a killing off me. Just sayin.:)
madalienmonk Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 Last year Walmart and Amazon had a price war on books and movies. I think Target got involved, too. Are you looking for a new release or an older book? Both! A price war in what way? Just under cutting each other on the newest books, or coupons with higher and higher % off to out do each other?
danawales29 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 There were 10 books all coming out on the same day so I think walmart said ok were doing $10 for all of them then by the next day amazon had lowered there prices. Oh and I believe that some were preorder as well. I remember I got the new John Grisham on preorder at like 9 or 9.99. It was a good deal. Here's an article about it.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704322004574477050954174722.htmlDana

mausibaer Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Big fan of the Amazon pre-order program with guaranteed release date delivery. The "hot" releases almost always are on sale and qualify for PRIME shipping. About half of the time I actually get the book a day earlier than the official release date.
madalienmonk Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 Hmm I prefer Fantasy books which aren't usually in the top 10 or that "hot" either, am I SOL?
