Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

You will also get $5 in Borders Bucks for every $50 that you spend(it's usually for every $150 that you spend).

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

yeah, I got that email last night and was very excited.... UNTIL i went to their website and saw what their "list prices" are. What a frakkin' JOKE! Even at 50% everything costs more than everywhere else!!

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

sometimes u will get lucky and find something that is worth using the 50% off on.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

This is an in-store coupon and their list prices in-store are correct. For whatever reason, their online list prices are inflated.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I plan on grabbing Kagemusha for $21.19(tax included) and Hero for $23.84(tax included). Amazon sells Kagemusha for $25.99 and Hero for $29.99. Neither one of these will ever be sold by Columbia House and I'll be close to the $50 threshold to earn $5 in Borders Bucks.:)

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I scored the OOP Akira for a good price last time.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

some good deals that can be had:

Trick r Treat - $21.50
How I Met Yr Mother Season 4 - $26
South Park Movie - $15.50

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Even if Drag Me To Hell is $40 in-store after coupon it will be cheaper than Amazon.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

It's listing out at $42.99...which is $3 higher than MSRP. WTF?? Even Trick R Treat and Midnight Meat Train Blu (all things I'm looking to pick up) are listing out way higher than MSRP.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

They are cheaper in store.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Hmm. So what is the difference with "cheaper in store" and the being on sale exclusion on the coupon? For example, the Star Trek Generation BLU-RAY movie set is on sale for $76.79, which the coupon would indicate I couldn't combine right?

Best case this is more than likely 50% MSRP plus tax right?

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Ignore the website prices. The best thing to do is take the coupon to the store and look around. Compare prices with Amazon on your smartphone if you can't remember them.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Yeah no combo with sale price; you either take list price minus the coupon or the sale price.

I was there earlier and that set was $79.99, so $40 with coupon + tax (currently $46.00 on Amazon, so it's kinda of a push.)

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Another deal to be on the lookout for:

• Casablanca (regular BD keepcase version) $14.50

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Nice! I'll use it today on my lunch break.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Thanks for the suggestions. I might get HIMYM and South Park...

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I know that...I'm saying it doesn't make sense that the web prices are over MSRP...

Anyways, I ran up to a Borders during Lunch, and walked out with Drag Me To Hell and South Park:BLU for $35+ tax.

So to recap in store prices...
SP was $29.99
Drag Me to Hell was $39.99
Trick R Treat was $34.99
Donnie Darko is still, inexplicably, $39.99. (And yes, it scanned at that price. WTF?)
And finally, Die Hard Collection scanned at $129.99 (gulp!)

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

did you happen to see what their price on Watchmen is?

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

It was on sale for $29.99, which I'm assuming would make it $39.99 'List'.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Makes me wish The Green Mile wasn't an exclusive.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Thanks. I think $15 is my magic price, so that pretty much takes this deal off the table for me.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

i snagged Heroes S3 for $40 and Dark Crystal for $14. Too bad Sarah C. Chron. S2 was nowhere to be found...:(

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

That sucks. I wanted to get Home Alone 2 but it's online only :(

As is the first one too. :(

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Nope...went in the store, and sure enough the prices were just as laughably outrageous as they showed online. I just left my coupon on the shelf for some other shmuck to use.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I need to go in tomorrow and pick up a book I ordered anyway, I'm thinking of seeing if they have Casablanca and the Searchers, I think that would make it $25 for the two of 'em.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

You cannot trust their website as an indicator of the in-store prices, as they are all different....

You want to know what the in-store price of a title is? Just look up the MSRP somewhere else online (Amazon, DVDEmpire, etc.)...Borders in-store regular price on *most* of their BDs is MSRP!

Also, it appears you can't always trust their "likely in store" indicator, as I looked up a few titles before I went to my local store today, and the website said they probably had them, but they weren't there....on the flip side of things, a few titles that the website said were supposedly "online only" the store actually DID have, so YMMV....

I was able to snag The Omen (mislabeled at the old 39.99 MSRP, actually rang up at the new MSRP of 16.99) and Grease today, for an after coupon total of only $24...not a monumental savings compared to Amazon (about $5), but good enough for me to bite... :up:

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Snagged...

Watchmen $17.99 (had the OOP Lenicular cover also)
Fringe:S1 $39.99

Came to ~$62 after our wonderful Texas taxes.

Wanted Drag Me to Hell and Trick R Treat to tell ya the truth... but Borders @ The Domain's DVD/BD section has really gone to hell and a hand basket. Almost nothing recent in there.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

That is true for the most part, but since Borders had their CD/DVD/BD purge in the Spring, I've noticed some items in store are out of whack on MSRP.

Just from today:
• 300: The Complete Experience BD -- Borders has it tagged $49.99, instead of the $39.99 SRP.
• Star Trek Next Generation Movie Collection BD is tagged at $79.99, instead of the $69.99 SRP.

Folks just need to be extra careful when in store.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Yes, contrary to his many comments about Border's "list" prices being the same as MSRP, I found MANY items in store that were priced above MSRP

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Those are the same titles I'm looking for at a decent price :-) amazon had Home Alone for $16.49 a few weeks ago, but the price has been raised.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Was able to combine with the $10 The Proposal coupon--for $12.49

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I hadn't been in one of these in over a year, and now I know why. First of all, they had all the BD locked up like they were priceless, so you couldn't see most of the price stickers. Then, when you finally find someone - they are laughable. As previously mentioned, $80 for TNG Collection, $140 for Trek S2, $50 for 300. Geez, even at "half" and paying taxes (in PA you pay tax on the price before discount), I am way outside a good deal.

No dis to the poster cause it was a great find, but this store is on crack.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Define "MANY" items priced above....3, 10, 37, 69, 100+??
I'd say other than a few anomalies, MOST of their BDs are priced at MSRP....I looked through their whole section today and other than a few of those outliers mentioned here, the vast majority were completely in line with their given MSRPs, and definitely not what the website price was....I'm amending my original post to say "most" so there is no confusion, but based on what I saw today, you'd be much better off (and 95+% of the time be correct) using the MSRP for an indicator as to what their in-store price will be, especially compared to going by their terrible website....

Now, if you're talking about books/CDs/etc. there, I have no idea what their general pricing structure is like for those items, as I did no research on them....

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Uh...no. You're wrong. Where would you ever get that idea?

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Not much I wanted at my store, but I did get Misery for $12.49 and Dexter Season 3 for $28.99.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

I got that idea because I kept noticing it on my receipts. However, it appears this may not be correct, so I appreciate you pointing it out.

Not sure I would take the time to fight it though, I can sometimes barely get them to take my coupons.........I can't even imagine trying to explain the tax code regulations.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Picked up Chocolate for $13.68 total.

My local Borders was out of Drag Me To Hell, which was a bummer. $20 is just the right price for it.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

Tax depends on what kind of discount you are using, actually. If it's a sale price or a store's coupon (like this 50% off sale), that discounted price is their selling price and therefore you only pay the tax on the price AFTER discount.

If it's a manufacturer's coupon, such as the Disney coupons or grocery coupons for example, those are actually considered a form of payment (since the store gets reimbursed for those) and therefore tax is figured BEFORE those "payment" coupons are applied.

Re: 50% off Blu-ray @ Borders coupon
 

my local borders sucks! they had nothin good! haha the only thing i found worthy was Fringe for $40 (after coupon obviously). no trick r treat, south park, the office, drag me to hell...nothin :(
