what happened to Thursdays' FYE B1G1 Sale?
I thought I remembered someone saying there was going to be a massive TV set B1G1 sale at FYE starting Thursday (yesterday). I haven't had a chance to go to my local store.. Does anybody know if this is going on and what titles are up for sale? I may make a special trip depending...
Thanks!
Thanks!

My bad then. I know that they have it heavily listed on their FYE BF ad, so I assumed it started then. This is better news for me now, means I can go tomorrow, drop some DVDs off and get the tv sets without crowds and such.

so far the pricing is close to retail, with some excpetions of $5 to $10 off.
Takes up nine pages in our period planner, started thursday runs through black friday weekend at least and includes over 300 titles.

There is a coupon code on the coupon of COOPBOGO

Just got back from checking out my local FYE (Miami).
Total disaster and waste of time.
There are signs up all over the store saying "Box Sets: Buy 1 Get 1 Free" and under is simply says "Selected Titles". Well, the store wont allow you to know what the "selected titles" are. They have a small table set up (maybe 20 box sets, half of which are Gary Cooper or Bill Pullman type collections), and otherwise the manager was simply telling me to take whatever I wanted to the front and make the line. According to her, I will find out if it qualifies when they ring me up at the register. Absurd.
Some other factors that made it particularly irritating:
- the had a B1G1 sign right in between How I Met Your Mother S1 and S2, and of course they turned me down for that specific set, and
- the prices sucked. Even if the deal had been given to me, I would have only saved $2 or $3 from the prices found at amazon or during BB sales.
Don't waste your time.

I'm consistently amazed by my fye mgmt peers and the complete lack of care or service that you all report here all the time.
At my store, we have dozens of copies of the list printed out and available for customers to look at. Why? Well, because we would like to get some sales! How strange. Seems to me that a huge majority of these folks don't give a rats ass about sales or loyalty, and they should all be fired.
If there was some method of posting the list without retyping it, I'd be happy to. However, it won't include prices as they vary between price tables.

well, was at my local FYE's tonight and they had an entire wall of B1G1 box sets. Very organized and lots of selection. However, all were at list. average $60/set.. so B1G1 = $30 a set which is not much of a sale for me....
but at least it was very clear what was on sale.
