Good Deals thread

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

Well, this gives me confidence. I had this happen over 2 weeks ago, and I'm still trying to get my 3rd book filled . . . It's still listed as in-stock on the website, but they can't seem to order it for me. They've now tried 3 times unsuccessfully. I bet if I did it myself, it would work...

Out of interest, which book are you having problems with?

[Roland1580]

Got a mail from B&N that my ZAP Complete is scheduled to ship. God bless that Black Friday deals!

[JohnHorus]

I was thinking about selling my Sandman Omnibi and getting the Absolutes from B&N, but I've noticed volumes 4 and 5 aren't included in the B2G1... Has anyone noticed anything similar with any other books?

I tried to add volume 1 to my basket and it didn't bring up the deal, so i went with the Annihilation omnibus instead.

Could it be because they're Vertigo and not 'technically' DC?

It discounts for me properly. You sure your two other books qualify?

Yeah, it was x-men vol 2 omnibus and infinity gauntlet.

There's your answer. X-Men Volume 2 Omnibus doesn't qualify for the sale for some reason. If you go to it's page, it makes no mention of the B2G1 sale.

There's your answer. X-Men Volume 2 Omnibus doesn't qualify for the sale for some reason. If you go to it's page, it makes no mention of the B2G1 sale.

But it does, I mean Uncanny X-Men Volume 2 by Claremont sorry.

It does qualify because I ordered it with Annihilation instead of Absolute Sandman xD

[quinnzel]

Yes, it's legit. I don't know what more you're looking for since people here have vouched for them. It's an online front/sister business of a comic book store with a couple of locations in the Los Angeles area. They can sell many things so cheap because they're working off of a thin profit margin model which requires them to buy a ton of books from the distributor to get steep wholesale discounts. They then have to sell those books fairly quickly to try and make a profit and have funds to buy the next month's books. But unlike InStockTrades, which follows a similar business model of selling many books cheap at thin margins, CGN won't hesitate to jack up the price of books that are starting to become rare.

I'm glad to hear they're legit. I just didn't understand how they could offer things so cheaply. My family has had instances of stolen identities from big-name businesses that are supposed to be reputable and secure so I'm understandably skeptical of certain things that seem too good to be true.

Unfortunately, I think most business, large or small, are more than likely guilty of not being as secure as they should be. Never hesitate to ask for opinions though if your not sure.

Thanks for the clarification. It is strange. The same three books qualify for me. Not that it matters at this point.
Mulling over some more purchases. I can't believe how much I've spent this year so far. Sigh...

[Dark-Flux]

Alright, i think im sorted.

After speaking to 3(!) sales support guys, they told me to reorder another copy of New Frontier and they reduced it to $0.00. Though i have to pay an extra $12 to ship it...

Still dont know why it got cancelled in the first place. Guy said cos it was low stock. Makes sense...

Spoke too soon. Free book canceled. AGAIN!

[Mad Hatter]

Will they let you choose another one to be your free book?

I appreciate that, thank you! And you're right, that's definitely true of all businesses. I think I'm just a little more weary of online ordering because identity theft seems more prone to occur through online shopping so I'm very particular about which places I shop from.

Now that I know CGN is legit, though, looks like I'll be racking up quite the bill...

[Canucked]

I just ordered from topcow.com who had two deals on. $25 dollars off for cyber monday then another %30 for no reason.
