Sounds like a deal!
Horns at walmart was $2.97, no marks. However, the cashier had trouble ringing it up and I ended up getting for FREE!
FDNS in HB is around $6 at Barnes and Noble.
Is it me or does everyone get a receipt for $6.66 when you buy a remainder priced SK book using your BandN card?
The Trade PB is also cheap there.
Is the book $5.98, or $6.00?
If it is $5.98, I pay $5.98 x .90 x1.0825=$5.82
I'm still seeing stacks of JAS for $5.98 at B&N here in VA.
My B&N has them, too. Same price.
Why can't I find anything but Duma Key around here? I need to get a 1st/1st of Just After Sunset and 11/22/63.
I've seen a couple copies of Just After Sunset recently on the Remainder shelves at my B&N. I'll keep an eye out, Krystle.
It's not necessarily remainders I'm seeking, I mean there are no copies at all! I have 2nd printings of both, but want firsts.
The Marvel Gunslinger Born 1-7 hardback is $6.98 at Barnes and Noble.
The Wind through the Keyhole Hardcover First printing $7.98 at BN in NYC.
Online at BN.com is listed for $3.99

Saw Colorado Kid copies for $5.98 at B&N. They had possible 1sts and copies with "NY Times Bestseller.." on top. They also seemed over sized.
Stopped at BN today and they had remaindered DTVI and DTVII trade paperbacks 6.95 and Bag of Bones trade paperback 5.95, but not first printings.
They also had Gunslinger: The Long Road Home graphic novel for 6.95
Of more interest, they had Bev Vincent's The Stephen King Illustrated Companion 2nd printing (without all the ephemera) for $12.95
I happened to be at B&N today as well, and saw these.

Those assholes and their red pens.....
Can someone explain the rationale behind this practice?
Being from Europe, I've never seen this done here.

It happens in Europe as well. The book publisher's representative goes to the shop and "marks" the books as "remaindered". The bookstore gets credit for each book marked. Sometimes the bookstore has to rip off the front page of a paperback to get a credit from the publisher. The kind of thing same thing happens with left over newspapers.
Thanks - learn something new every day.
