andrew13 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 went in the other day to gamestop and when i was in line a guy told me to go up to FYE first before i bough anything at gamestop. very glad i did. 70% off games, 50% off dvds, and 60% off music. i got (all for 360): The Bigs: 14.99 -> $4.50 Wartech: $9.99 -> $3 (accidentally bought 2 of it, but can't complain) Halo 3 Limited Collectors Ed: $39.99 -> $12 (had tons of these, as well as the Legendary for $99, which would be $30) Earth Defense Force: 14.99 -> $4.50 Table Tennis: $19.99 -> $6 College Hoops 2K6: 4.99 -> $1.50 plus a toy for a friend of mine for 70% off, total came to under $40. going to go back in a few days when they're closer to closing and hopefully get the X TV complete series for hopefully 60-70% off, it was $150 and if i can get it around $50 i'll definitely have to.

scottheisel Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Is the whole chain closing, or just your local FYE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The one around here closed a few years ago, and had a similar sale, so I bet it's just his store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Yeah they close periodically. They're dying a slow death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0389 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The one by near began closing about 2 weeks ago and I got ~180 in dvds for 90 bucks. Can't complain about that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Gonna go check out mine cause I have nothing to do all day. Hopefully I can pick up No Country For Old Men and Burn After Reading on the cheappp. Maybe Darksiders if they're going down completely.

andrew13 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 they didn't have anything very new at this one. i guess they're closing a handful at a time from a google search. the Cranberry Mall is just about dead, the walden books and another store that'd always been there are also closing. pretty soon it's just going to be the keystone tenants and a small gamestop in the middle.

adamlikesmusic Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 ^ There's a mall right down the street from my school that is literally completely empty except for a JCPenneys. Even the food court stands empty. It's kind of depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonskanks Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 it sucks seeing malls close down or die. i am a fan of malls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0389 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 If any of you go to an fye and they have the mr men slap bracelets, let me know which ones they have. I might be willing to pay you for them +shipping+ a few bucks extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Went to the mall today and FYE was still open, but the Borders Outlet was closing so I got $90 worth of books for $35. Yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew13 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 sorry, there's a goodwill in the mall too, which is just about it's most popular store there anymore, and a dr's office now for some odd reason. so it's going to be about totally empty with those two places and a gamestop. any yeah it really sucks about the malls. i'm not a big fan of those outdoor strip malls, which seems to be what everything around here is going too. clarion mall is nearly dead, so is cranberry, and butler's is still doing alright, but there's new strip malls popping up all the time it seems.

circlingvultures Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 We have one closing too but I have yet to go. I think the vinyl was only 10% off when my friend first went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Your FYE has vinyl? I've never seen an FYE with vinyl before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The Sears Essentials and Blockbuster by me both just closed and they had all dvds for 99 cents (only crap left) and at sears everything was 50-70% off. I got some decent sweaters for $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Your FYE has vinyl? I've never seen an FYE with vinyl before. I got Mean Everything To Nothing there for $9.99. It was the only vinyl they had, not counting the $100+ Kind Of Blue box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah, all the Borders Express and Walden Books are closing, so you can find good deals there. The actual Borders by me is closing in March, and everything goes on sale at the end of the month so I'm hoping to snag some good books and such.

steventangent Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's hard for me to shed a tear when corporate "box stores" close, though it is unfortunate for those that lose their jobs, and for the people who have no other choice for things they want. All of the bookstores that I know of in a nearby city (Adrian) have closed. Truly a bummer for the people that live there, even if their last bastion was a Walden Books.
