Hastings...
They ship everywhere in the US and their stock is their own stock, right?

I mean, they're not like half.com, alibris or HPB in which their used materials all come from different vendors and each ends up charging their own shipping, right?

Since I've never been to a store of theirs I've never used them before but I like the idea of a used media store that sells their own significant stock.

I've ordered from GoHastings many times before, I like them. They have multiple stores, so things might arrived in different packages, but I've only ever been charged once for shipping. All the items have come from one of their stores though. I've yet to receive a book or DVD from them in bad condition either (used, yes, but still pretty good copies). One time, I got straight up the wrong book, they refunded me, I had to order it again, but eh, I was ok and got my money back right away. I live in MD, they shipped to me no problem. I don't think their shipping rates change because the items are in multiple store, at least it doesn't seem that way, but they also show you shipping (well the cheapest option anyway) before you even check out, so it's never a surprise what the final cost is (I wish more places did that)

Thanks for the info, classicalzawa. If my insurance claim (explained elsewhere) comes through I will most likely be sending them a huge order.

It just occurred to me that it was a little strange that there's no thread for the typically low-cost/poor service Deep Discount Black Friday week sale...

So I looked..
http://www.deepdiscount.com/bf-anime-sale/b137696

wow, those are some mediocre discounts there. Someone has to remind them that people don't buy from them because of their stellar reputation.

Although... I guess it's possible that they had better sale prices earlier and they just hiked them up... I remember that that is a practice of theirs, changing prices in the middle of a sale.

Yep, absolutely nothing noteworthy about the DeepDiscount BF sale. Guess that just means more allotted for RightStuf's BF sale and 12 days of Christmas sales.

deepdiscount and dvdplanet run fake sales all the time...
probably we won't see something until THUR or FRI

don't forget, gohastings also sells used manga.
you never know what's in stock though and searching their website can be a pain.

havn't seen any noteable 3DS specials yet.

Arcana Heart 3 Love max is on sale for 14$ starting today on PSN store.

EDIT:
if you are planning at shopping at Frys, you should subscribe to their email newsletter now, because they mail out personal promo coupon codes.

crunchy roll is offering 30% off items in their store marked with the little crown symbol.
there is no membership renewal special like previous years and all the kids are crying, lol.

but they said there is one more surprise coming so it's probably the subscription special.
