Barnes and Noble Clearance Koto

[golem216]

All clearance should now be $2 in-store.

EDIT: at least one store around me was still 50% off only

I’m at my local B&N right now and can confirm everything is at $2. According to the staff, it just went to $2 today, so golem216 is the man and caught it right away. Unfortunately, the only one they previously had at my store (Luke and Leia) is already gone, but since it’s still early days for the $2 sale, maybe you guys will have better luck.

My store just has crappy books and Kylo Ren action figures.

Checked a few stores locally and found nothing. Inventory shows they should have c3po set and the luke and leia, but can't find it anywhere.

Oh well.

By the way, I figured out about the $2 clearance in two ways:

1 - searched twitter for "barnes noble clearance" and found a single store reporting that clearance was now $2

2 - Google search results seems to be able to pick up in-store pricing somewhat accurately and gather inventory from BN.com

Obviously it may not be 100% accurate for pricing or inventory, but a good way to get an idea. All stores I went to had no Koto stuff on clearance. Found some Studio Ghibli stuff at the one store that was still at 50% off. Unsure why this store was still 50% and not 75%. I'm not sure if it went to 75% and then back to 50% or if it's just slower on their clearance.

I'm looking at the Google page and not seeing what's there that clues you in about B&N. Is it the fact that there isn't a B&N listing anymore, so you know it's no longer officially in their inventory?

At least when I view it, it shows the item instock and the price being $2.

The price and inventory may not be correct, but seems to be a good indication that clearance has likely hit $2.

Oh wow, that works. Thanks for the tip! By the way, I think next round is going to be good. Likely will include K-2SO and the Stormtrooper Flametrooper two pack.

A handful of statues 50% off:

Thanks! I've had my eye on that Snowtrooper/Flametrooper combo for a while now. Only sad thing is that it's sold out at my local store, so no chance of me getting it for 75% off now, since online is always out of stock by then. Still, 50% off isn't bad.
