Daredevil doesn't get really good until volume 4.

1 was good. I enjoyed it. 2 not so much.

Have you joined our Borders Rewards program?

It's quite sexy.

Indeed. That's how I got the 30% off.

On top of that, I also used my Personal Shopping Day yesterday, for ANOTHER 10% off. :rockon:

Doc, if you could sort of use your influence to make them give out more 30% coupons and more personal shopping days I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

Hey, the Personal Shopping Days used to be Quarterly, so don't you complain.

The good coupons come around the holidays, so hold out till then.

 

[E]

Hey, the Personal Shopping Days used to be Quarterly, so don't you complain.

Are they monthly now? Bi-monthly?

I had at least 2 that I let go because I thought - why would I use a day where I get 10% off when I get 20% coupons? I didn't know it worked WITH the coupons until yesterday.

 

[Ultimates]

Ok, this is SO just between all of us on the board.... but here is the trick...

When u signed up for Borders Rewards, they sent u the 30% off coupon in the email, right?
Look at the entire address tag.. at the end, it will say "DATE=?/??/????" (? is where there are dates) change those to WHATEVER u want, then hit ENTER, and viola! You can now have a 30% off that NEVER expires

Also know ALOT of other tricks of the trade

Are we talking Hardcovers or Softcovers on DD?

Soft. I prefer them.

They must have changed it. The URL is http://e.bordersstores.com/a/tBEUECbAQfEXsAeTiAkAQFcaW.AVvW22OU/coup0427

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

yeah... Borders employees aren't stupid, and the computers only accept the code for the week the coupon is valid.

 

[Ultimates]

Actually, from experience, the employees dont give a damn, often letting me use 2-3 coupons at the same time, stacking with the buy 3 get 4th free.. and im talking about the special coupon they email u...

i would post the link, but it gives all my info in the web address

HERE, try this link...

--removed--

where i wrote input/date/here... change to date, example 05/30/2006

and im not trying to insult or offend u Dr. Strange, just showing u there are MANY tricks around the system, but on the same manor, i love Borders, ive purchased like 500 in good there this year

Same here. And honestly if they didn't I doubt I'd buy as many books there as I do.

I've never tried to piggyback coupons though.

:shock:

You have defiled me.

I wish we had a Borders. No book shop sell comics where I live.

Amazon is just as good, at least in the US. I'm not sure if they do this in other countries as well, but Amazon frequently discounts new books 32-37% and has free shipping over $25.

Earlier link removed. Can't really encourage that sort of behavior.

Just got my Ultimates and Supreme Power HC's in today! They look fabulous! I just got done re-reading the first three chapters of Ultimates. Man, any part with the Living Legend is phenomenal no matter how many times I read it. Definately looking forward to delve into Supreme Power as I've only read the first TPB.
