For those of you who do the Borders thing, I got a 50% coupon today only. Wish they had something I really wanted

I had a 33% off yesterday, plus $10 in Border's Bucks. Got the 4 disc Tom Petty Live Anthology for less than $8 out of pocket.

My local Border's has really shrunken their CD section to the point where it is a challenge to find anything I want, and further more find things I want at less than outrageous regular price.

Thanks for the heads up. My local Borders SUCKS. Has no DVD or CD department, aside from a handful of new releases. Still, maybe I can find something good. If all else fails, I buy another Bukowski book at half off.

Dylan box comes to mind, but can't justify spending that kind of money on myself this time of year.

 

Just landed the Lennon Box set for $99 with this coupon!!

 

Thank you so much for this! My wife and I got the Live and Leeds box for $42.

 

Dylan Mono Box for $67.

 

Already being discussed here:

Springsteen Darkness Blu-ray box - $54!

 

Just got back with the Bruce box for $54.
Too bad my Border Bucks expired yesterday!. I could've got it for $40.
(The remastered DOTEOT does sound amazing! )

 

Yep....$6 Bukowski book...my Borders sucks....

 

It was actually borderline pandemonium at the local Borders with the 50% coupon tonight. Apparently more than a few folks didn't read the small print which states you couldn't use it for the E-Readers, software, or combine it with various other sales and such. They didn't find this out of course until they'd already gone through the entire line, and at which point they felt the need to plead their case to the poor kids behind the counter, hoping to magically change the rules.

At any rate, I paid $35 for the new Sinatra 7-DVD box for one of my wife's Xmas gifts. Pretty happy with that.

 

I had to wait in a super long line for about 15 minutes. But I ended up getting the newer Byrds box set for $27.50 plus tax!

 

Wow, there is a new Byrds box? Or do you mean the one from just a couple years ago?

 

+1

 

Yeah, the one from 2006/2007 as opposed to the 1990 box. This is my first Byrds purchase, so I hope I did good.

 

That's a great box - no question you did good!

 

Haha ... thanks, RTurner! And thanks to the OP for the coupon and everyone else for posting their success stories.

 

I think you done good!

I do remember one time though, about a year after it came out, where it was on sale one day, on Amazon IIRC, for something ridiculously low, like $15.99, but by the time I found out about it, it had gone back up.

 

Saint Johnny's story reminds me of lucky a bunch of us were with last week's Dylan Mono box fire sale. I usually miss out on the Amazon super box set sales. But it's always nice to get an awesome deal on the music we love, thanks to Borders, Amazon, etc.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Saint Johnny!

 

Wish I could've found something, but the only Borders I was nearby tonight was the downtown Portland location, which is closing. They had everything 30-40% off but it was fairly well picked over. They didn't have either version of the Springsteen box set, which is mainly what I was interested in.

When I found myself wandering the Blu-Ray section and considering a Criterion single-disc for $20 (regularly $40), I knew I wasn't going to find anything I really wanted/needed.

So I left empty-handed, but with money still in my pocket.

I went to the Borders in old town Scottsdale looking for a good box set to purchase with the discount. They appeared to only have two or three boxes, none of which interested me. I thought I was going to leave empty handed when one of the employees said they had a few more at the bottom of one of the glass cases. I didn't see Live at Leeds, Station to Station, or anything else really cool, so I pondered the Hall and Oates box. Before I went to take a look at it, I just happened to see the Led Zeppelin mini box there. Almost unbelievably, It was priced at only $76.99! This had to be a mistake, but I figured if that is what they were selling it at, I was buying it. Total with tax was $38.12. Now, that was a deal!

 

I picked up the Lennon box yesterday afternoon for $100 with the 50%-off coupon. Then I went back with my wife last night and grabbed the "Stripped Down" Double Fantasy set for $9.49.

 

The Borders flyer in the Thanksgiving day newspaper also has a 50% off coupon, good for 1 item 11/26-11/28.

 

Very cool. Thanks for the tip. I haven't gone through the paper yet.

Is this coupon also being sent to Rewards members by e-mail?

 

I have not gotten an email yet.
