yeah i found rizelmine the anime awhile back and thought it was pretty good, but recently while browsing www.borders.com i found the manga.. wanna know how much? $4.00!!! and its BRAND NEW directly from borders, not used!

ok so im broke.. sorta.. i found 2 gift cards from borders in my wallet Very Happy i didn't think thay had anything on them.. i was wrong. Very Happy $30.00 on each one! W00T so i just bought a few books. lol a few.. more like 8!
i finished my chobits manga collection(2 books) and my MARS manga collection (2 books)and bought rizelmine(1 book), magical shopping arcade abenobashi(1 book), and the first two .hack twilight books. can you beleave my luck? i LOVE abenobashi and i found the MANGA Twisted Evil and i also like .hack twilight.. and since their only 3 books in the series.. its an easyer series to complete.. and rizelmine.. its only one book so i figure why not?, and since its only $4.00!!! WHY NOT???

so maybe your thinking.. $10 a book. with the exception of rizelmine which was $4 so it should be $74 not including shipping, right? wrong!

for every 4 books you buy that qualify, (basicly anything under $10) they remove the cheapest one.. so its like getting one free! so with 2 shipments Anime catgrin two books free Very Happy
but still what about shipping!! if your order is over 25$ its FREE SHIPPING, SWEET! only down side.. 8 business days for shipping.. BUT ITS FREE!!

$59.94 in total... for 8 books awsome on any day of the week..

only problem is i had to keep remakeing the order... WHY? its REALLY simple.. and stupid.. borders is combined with amazon.com or so it says depending where you are in the website. so i think its one website, WRONG its still 2. depending HOW you search for something changes what site your in.. so even if you think your in borders.. and both pages look exactly the same.. you might actually be in amazon.. which is bad if you want discounts.. because after i made the shipment it tells me the discount couldnt be applied because not all the books were from boarders.. stinks dont it? so i had to cancel it and remake it.. and it didn't help that i was tired.. and VARY annoyed by this point.. and since their was only one mars book left in stock i was feeling rushed since about 6 hours before it was saying their were 5... altogether though im happy about the discounts and the books.. and im just glad they will be on their way soon....

anyway.. if your intrested in rizelmine for $4 heres the link
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1595329013/qid=1154835444/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-5625368-7684034?v=glance&n=507846

yeah it says amazon.. but its actually borders... lol

btw if anyone can figure out how to search their site by the price of NEW "graphic novels" not the price of amazon's used graphic novels it would be awsome.. because i cant figure it out for the life of me.. not that it matters now anyway.. im broke again, sorta.. Very Happy

I found it for 99 cents on Ebay.

And $3.71 from a more trustworthy "buy it now" seller.

Evil or Very Mad ..... Rolling Eyes ..... *sigh* ..... now it didn't say that manga "HAS TO GO HERE" anywhere in that forum.. so i took it as suggestion and since their were only 2 people in their when i looked.. and i never go in their myself i figured more people would see this here.. not to mention you can get good deals for anime at the same website.

i think ill pm the rest to him...

yeah i found some cheap books like that but all of them were used and not in the greatest condition or they had a remainder mark on them which brings down the price a bit. Sad which i guess for some it might not matter but im looking for books in perfect condition without the mark on it, what can i say Very Happy , if im going to buy a book id like it to look perfect(unless its only available used). not to mention the $3 or $4 shipping Very Happy plus the cost of the book, id rather just get it in perfect condition for a few dollars more "hurray for free shipping!" (only works if your buying over $25 worth of books Confused ) on a similar note, i found some books their for $0.01, talk about cheap. why even sell it? *looks for the profit, cant find it* Razz . i also found some really cheap box sets for 1/3 off so if it costs $150, it might cost just $50. so as long as it plays in my dvd player Very Happy
