Has anyone gone to Borders?

Just curious what kind of discount the store is giving. I don't read a ton but if they are offering a good deal to get rid of books there are some I might pick up.

Re: Has anyone gone to Borders?

  • When I was in there this weekend it seemed like most things were only 10 to 20% off. I think the only things that I saw that were 40% off were greeting cards. I'm hoping that as they get closer to closing, the discounts will get better.  
  • I think we're going tonight.  I want to say DH said his boss told him everything was 40% off (??) right now. 
  • I was there last night, most books are 10% off.  It was 30% romance novels, 40% cards, magazines, & dvds.  Not worth it yet IMO
  • I went Sunday and it was a complete waste of time.  Didn't buy a thing.  Read this article yesterday and it explained it all.
  • Huge waste of time.

    The sign outside is misleading. Most things are only 10% off. They had 40% off cards/magazines and clearance items. However, the clearance items were back at regular price then the 40%, which irritated me. They had Christmas movies and kids books that I wanted, but I guarantee they were previously marked to clearance and should have been an additional 40& off the clearance price, but instead they priced them at regular price before clearance. Make sense?

    I am really bummed, because I thought I might find some good deals.

  • I'm SO SAD that it's going away. B&N just doesn't have the same kind of vibe that Borders did.

    agree...i loved borders coupons randomly showing up for 30 to 40 percent off an item!! I went last night got some magazinees at 40% off, romance books (hehe my other "reality") at 30% off and that's about it. I got a nook for my anniversary/early birthday so those  might be the last books bought for a long while for me, which is kind of sad to this huge reader who has over a thousand books on shelves in the basement. 

    I heard someone ask the manager when more stuff will be marked down and he said that "he didn't know, it could be every morning...people have to come back and check..."
