50% ALL CD's at Barnes and Noble thru July 22nd 2018 (in store only)

This cd sale at B&N is in store only and runs till Sunday July 22nd.
Some nice deals to be had, just will have to hunt for them, as their regular price is MSRP.
The 50% off is off the regular sticker price, not a sale sticker price.

There are quite a few Rhino Flashback cds with $5.99 price tags BTW, even better if you have a membership and coupons to sweeten the deal.

 

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll stop by tonight and see if I can find any good deals since I'm a member also.

 

Got Who Came First for $18 and the first Dead album reissue for less than $10.

 

Is there a link to the sale info? I'm in a B&N and there is no sale in sight.

 

I see it listed here

Coupon Codes and Deals

 

Yep, it works. I asked at the customer service desk and the sale was confirmed. She acknowledged they were given no signage. I'll post later on the sick deals I procured.

 

And here I thought I was getting deals shopping at 1 of the local record stores and using well over an hour to end up with a pack of 100 Sound Sleeves and just 3 LP's for about $25 . Will have to get an early start Saturday. Wonder if sale includes CD Box Sets? Look forward to reading about anyone's haul there today...

 

Yes.

 

It's been a while since I've been in a B&N - what is the stock like and what are some deals that people are finding?

Thanks

 

+1.

The stock in the 3 stores I'm near to for Rock and Pop etc. is generally pretty decent. They keep box sets behind the register, cashier counter as well...

 

The Sgt. Pepper deluxe would have been a pretty sweet deal, had it not been tightly spyder wrapped.

 

Anymore their stock is great compared to Best Buy and Target.

 

I'd have bought Eagles Hotel California super deluxe at $45 if I didn't find one last weekend for $40. I saw this at the two B&N I went into today.

The overpriced-on-initial-release have a way of working themselves out for those who are patient.

 

I don't like the implications of this sale - this is more or less a CD inventory clearance. Barnes had been the last national retailer that had hung on to its music section. I dread they greatly downsize the section after Labor Day.

 

Some good possible deals

These will be all $2.99, or $2.69 with membership, and even cheaper if you have a coupon.

Seals and Crafts Greatest Hits


An odd thing I noticed, is many of these titles are no longer in stock at Amazon brand new, hopefully these have not all gone out of print.

 

Store I was at had a sparce selection, got a couple of greatest hits cds for 2 and 3 bucks. Might try a different store today

 

They seem to really promote vinyl there way more than CDs. So clearing some out makes sense.

 

I was in B&N about 15 minutes before they closed last night (to get a coffee) and noticed the sale sign. Also noticed they were rearranging the music and video section. The CDs are already a fourth of what they were a few years ago. No surprise there. I'll scoot back over today to see what I can find.

 

Went to the other store in my area, they also had the Sgt Pepper set spider wrapped, GRRRR!
Yes I understand they don't want the item stolen, but these anti theft devices ruin physical media packaging.

 

Went to a couple stores some are completely barren wastelands in the media area except vinyl while others have tons of media. I think they pulled box sets I didn’t see any at all

Got the queen best of volumes 1,2,3 disc set for 60% off after membership discount
And some various blues compilations for a couple bucks

One even had Tom petty live anthology on cd, but I have the vinyl plus it’s on streaming so I left that

And FYI it seems pricing isn’t standard for some reason, the essential B.B. king I got for 3 bucks was 2x the price at a different location

 

Last night I picked up the Laura Nyro CD of “Eli and The Thirteenth Confession” for $3.49 plus tax - half off the normal full (white) stickered price of $6.99.

 

Haven't seen a sale like this since Hastings and other stores went under.


Got a nice stack at local B and N with a lot of great titles cheap.
Used Brother in Law discount card for an extra 10 percent off.
Usual Beatles/Springsteen/U2 etc box sets.....nothing special.
I got lots of prestige jazz titles and many deluxe and recent sets as well.
20 discs came to about $5 bucks a piece with tax.
Get out there and take a look around....get u sum!!

 

I was able to get the Jethro Tull Aqualung 2 cd/ 2 dvd set for just over $20.

 

My local B&N doesn't have a music section, just a stand up front near the register with about 10 cds on it. I did end up buying Coltrane's Both Directions at Once deluxe edition though. With the 50% off coupon it was still $11.99, so just $4 cheaper than everyday Amazon's price.

While that's not bad, it's not something that makes me want to run back there and buy anything else.

 

Good deal.
I believe that is out of print.
