BeBop Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Interesting. I hadn't noticed. So, why not in Bozeman? Borders already doing good business there? Perhaps. Quote

Yeah - but the "fine print" says that the single purchase has to be an item of list price $20 or more. Edited March 26, 2009 by jlhoots Quote
ejp626 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/coupon400...=SA_20090326_NR 40% off list price, in store only. Through 28 March. Yeah - but the "fine print" says that the single purchase has to be an item of list price $20 or more. Even at 40% off, it is rarely worth my time going in to one of the stores. They don't carry academic books anymore (in my field at any rate), and you can't use these coupons on items that you order on-line. Most fiction trade paperbacks are still hanging in at $19.99 (or a bit less) so most of their coupons are no good. And if I am buying a hard cover fiction book, you can usually get them for 75% or more off used. So that leaves you looking at CD or DVD sets. Borders in Chicago doesn't have any of the Jazz Icons DVD sets. However, I did check and they had the Fats Waller vol. 6 from JSP. There was one in stock at the Michigan Ave. store, so I scampered up there after work and picked it up. Quote

I've read the coupon five times now and either I'm totally oblivious, going blind, or maybe it just ain't there? Quote

I've read the coupon five times now and either I'm totally oblivious, going blind, or maybe it just ain't there? Most of the time the put a "must be $20 or more" restriction on the coupon. Not this time though. Quote
paul secor Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/coupon400...=SA_20090326_NR 40% off list price, in store only. Through 28 March. Nothing I needed in the way of CDs at my local Borders - not much in the way of CDs there at all, for that matter - but I did find a copy of Adam Thirlwell's book The Delighted States and saved 12 bucks. So thanks for sharing that coupon, Be Bop. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 The store in downtown DC (near the White House) has a 30% red sticker sale on cds and dvds. I picked up a few Verve Originals, RVG Fantasy cds and some Fania remasters. Has anyone else noticed a red tag sale at their store? Quote
Patrick Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Same 30% red tape deal out in Fairfax VA. I think I need bigger savings (like the 40% coupon) to show much interest. Used the coupon on a recent Mehldau 2 disc set. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Went to a good-sized nearby Borders today with the 40% off coupon, plus the 30% off CDs and DVDs sale in effect. Found only one classical CD I wanted to buy, no jazz, no DVDs, and that was pushing it. May well be a nice disc (Handel Violin Sonatas with Andrew Manze and Richard Egarr), haven't listened yet, but I wouldn't have thought of buying it at full price. A wasteland. One other thing -- I did want to take a look at the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music box, though I thought it might be too pricey for me even with the coupon, but the clerk, though armed with many keys, was unable to open the case where the box sets were kept, after several minutes of trying with each key. He said he'd opened it before. Quote
AndrewHill Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah, I've given up on Borders Brick and Mortor stores. They can have 90% off and I'll end up walking out with nothing. Quote
Free For All Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah, I've given up on Borders Brick and Mortor stores. So would that be a mortartorium? Quote
AndrewHill Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 I meant mortar. Man, you guys are tough! Quote
Patrick Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 I asked a clerk about the red tape. She said they're clearing out inventory of older items in order to reclaim space for books. May only have new releases in the future. Quote
mgraham333 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 I checked out one of my Border's stores today. No music. They had one shelf with the Top 25...really only had about 10 unique titles. Both stores in town usually do the same thing so I suspect Borders is done with music here. Actually... a good riddance. The music section was dying a long slow death. Quote
BeBop Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/061509sup...=SL_20090615_NR "Super" Coupon. Looks like desparation play for cash flow. Quote
sheldonm Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/061509sup...=SL_20090615_NR "Super" Coupon. Looks like desparation play for cash flow. ...thinking the same thing. About the only place I can go into with a 50% off coupon and walk out with nothing....sad! Quote
BeBop Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 40% off Anything (subject to the usual limitations) Through 21 June FWIW: http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/coupon400...=SA_20090619_NR Need a book? Quote
Ken Dryden Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Gee, just what I want to do. Drive 90+ miles to find a Borders store and then walk out empty handed. My previous experience with their stores includes high prices and ROTTEN selection in their jazz CD section. Quote
Tjazz Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Gee, just what I want to do. Drive 90+ miles to find a Borders store and then walk out empty handed. My previous experience with their stores includes high prices and ROTTEN selection in their jazz CD section. You can check their website for inventory. 40% off coupon $210 plus tax for the Neil Young Archive Blu Ray box. Quote
Ken Dryden Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 I got rid of most all of my Neil Young records years ago. Journey Through the Past may still be lurking somewhere. Quote
BeBop Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Well, if you happen to stumble across a CD in your local Borders (try looking under the racks of videogames and movies; who knows?), here's $5 off: http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/073009/co...=SA_20090730_NR Quote
