Every single day, thousands of people purchase books from Barnes and Nobles. Ninety plus percent of them pay FULL PRICE for their books. Have you ever purchased a book online? Did you notice that fine print that says " X number of books from 1.99"? Probably Not. Why? Because you see the blaring red price for $12.20, and that's what you assume the best deal price is. Well, I'm here to tell you IT'S NOT.
For most books posted on http://www.bn.com/, there's a small print under "Add to Cart" that states "....used from $1.99". Do you know what this means??? Of course you do. So let me explain why you can get them so cheap: The used books are not sold by Barnes and Nobles, they are sold by smaller book stores/distributors. All used books available are rated. After clicking on the link, "...used from $1.99", a list is displayed of all available used books with the book's rating, plus the rating of the company offering it. In a lot of cases, if you buy a book rated "Very Good" or "Like New", chances are you will get a BRAND NEW BOOK FOR $1.99. Granted, this does take some risk, but come on, isn't it worth saving $10 or more for the potential to get a brand new book for under two bucks. I think so.
So, next time you're in the mood for a new book, consider checking on BN.COM. Find out if you can get that book for $1.99. If so, get it, and enjoy your "Smart Spend".
