[Artie Lange]Sorrrry! I didn't KNOW that.[/Artie Lange] No need to be a dick about it.
I'm sure the saavy people could argue their way into that extra 10% anyways.

Gotta have The Human Condition, Homicide and Pierot Le Fou. Are pre orders eligible? Rosselini's War Trilogy looks very good!

Human Condition is $79.95 correct? so it would be
50% off = $40
10% member discount = $36
$5 coupon = $31
Is that correct?
50% off = $40
10% member discount = $36
$5 coupon = $31
Is that correct?

So pretty much you just buy one at a time to be able to use the coupon right?

Went in and got my membership this morning. Scoped out the blu-rays and they had one copy of each except Third Man which I have. Not as big a Criterion DVD selection as say Fry's but there were a couple of titles I might get.

I'm thinking they got cleaned out during the last sale. The couple stores I've gone to I don't see much of a selection anymore.

Already have a short list of must-have stuff to snag next week -- Wings of Desire, Z, Nikkatsu Noir, and hopefully the copies of Contempt and The Third Man Blu-ray that are still looming around at a local store. Possibly more, of course.

Holy crap this will be a great way for me to round out my Kurosawa collection and get the rest of the BDs. Time to start planning.

I have had my membership for going on 2 years now and have never once been rejected in the dozens of times I have used those coupons at multiple different stores. Employees either don't notice or don't care about that stipulation in the coupon. I'm pretty sure their computers don't show your membership join date, which is why they always accept the coupons. Their computer automatically accepts them no matter when you joined.
There are two probably 20 minutes apart, and i'm just trying to gauge how I should work this since I will only have 2 or 3 opportunities to visit them (they are two hours from my house, but I will be in town for a conference next weekend). I went in tonight and got my membership, since I intend on getting Human Condition and hopefully a couple of other boxes to maximize the value for that. heck, three of them would get my $25 back and then some.
One thing I did notice is they did not have a single eclipse box, which was very disappointing...hopefully the other store will...and if necessary, there is another about a half hour away on the way home. But do they as a rule tend to not carry them? The counter clerk said they had the Rosselinni History Films on order...but that was it. (it's one I want though, so Huzzah!)
Sorry for the rambling, just trying to get a feeling for how this goes with the coupons and whether it's fully straight up fine or if a little surreptitious finagling is required. It would be lovely if I could go in with four coupons and the clerk just did 4 separate transactions for me

oh, and I saw a copy of Ran and Contempt at the store I was in tonight...if anyone is in need of either and have not been able to find one, let me know...i'd be happy to work a trade if you wanted to pick up one of my wishlist titles...esp. if your stores carry eclipse sets.

The regular B&N policy for holding an item for you is 3 business days. So if you were to reserve something you want to buy during the sale, you can do so now, and they will hold it for you until Tuesday when the sale begins.
You can check the stock of your local stores online and reserve whatever items you want to purchase for the sale starting today!

That said, I threw a few blu-rays on hold, including a "Third Man" disc. I suspect the dude at the music desk knew what I was up to, but was happy to play along.

Re: Criterion DVD's and Blu-Rays 50% off at Barnes and Noble 11/10
I went in to purchase my membership, and to test this theory. I was told that it was 3 days, as opposed to three "business days". I'm thinking this may be a case of six of one, a half dozen of the other, since B&N is open on Saturday & Sunday, thus making those days business days for them.

I called and they said they hold things for 3 days. So today is the 6th, they would hold it through the 9th. They put them back on the shelves on the 10th.
