More Best Buy penny guide markdowns!
I hit the mother lode at lunch! As usual, your mileage may very...I have 2 stores I visit, one always has guides marked down, the other never marks them down. For a penny each, I got:
The Getaway
Ghost Recon
Def Jam Vendetta
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Dark Cloud 2 (I've been waiting for this one to hit a penny)
Good luck!

I had a couple of items, so it wasn't that bad, but I've bought them before where I handed the guy 4 pennies. That's kinda embarrasing!

Usually at my Besy Buys, the guides never show to be a penny. I just occasionally find the ones I am interested in and then have them run a prcie check. If they ring up for a penny, I buy them. Of course new game guides are never a penny but if the game has been out a couple of months, I always price check them.

at the store i used to work at, i bought a bunch of them one time. i got into trouble b/c i was going to give them to my friend who owned a game store. the manager went off the deep end b/c you aren't supposed to buy something w/ a discount and then give it away. i was their best employee at the time, so they let it slide, but from then on, anytime there were markdowns like that, they sent them back to corporate. I ruined it for the customers.

Ran across a better deal than a penny...
The BB I went to just put all the penny guides on a shopping cart, and labeled them as "Free, please take one." Unfortunately, there were only 3 kinds left. So I only grabbed Def Jam Vendatta and Zelda: Ocaria of Time, because I didn't want to appear too greedy. But, you can't beat free!
Anyway, this also means that Zelda: OOT and Tenchu guides have also hit a penny.

Yo, Flash,
By any chance did you pick up an extra Dark Cloud 2 guide? I would love a copy and would of course reimburse your shipping. I started that game, and then it started to kick my a$$ and I could certainly use the help. If not, it's certainly no biggie.
Thanks

Decker,
E-mail me...I picked up an DC2 extra guide! I won't be able to ship until Saturday though. If you have PayPal you can pay me for shipping through there.
