spaczed

Hey everyone. There is a new book shop in stillorgan called the wise owl. It is selling Harry Potter for 10 euro! Thats the cheapest ive seen so far. Also heard on radio that it is the cheapest in ireland.

Where is this exactly? Is it that dashed uncomfortable shop in the shopping centre?

spaczed

no its the new one just open beside stillorgan decor near tesco (across the road from national irish bank. its an offer to celebrate the opening of the shop i think.

Dagnir Glaurung

Is it a limited time offer? Will pop over there tomorrow. Not too late I hope.

It's not new, they must have just moved over a bit, they used to be upways from the shopping centre.

If I knew more about HP that'd be a cracking deal I'm sure.

is_that_so

Dunnes Stores are doing it for €9.99 according to RTE but no other details.

It's a pity that the big supermarket chains are stealing the bookshops business with their offer. Bookshops have been waiting for this launch for ages so they can make some money on it compared to the millions these supermarkets take in..they don't need to steal the bookshops thunder.

I'd much rather give my business to a bookshop!

Popped in to preorder mine today and found out that they will have a limited number of copies....Nice window display too!!

Happy Reading!

hate reading books off the net,the good old fashioned feel of a book is what i need :eek:

scorpy

I downloaded it so I could look up things without having to go through the book again... I hate reading books on the computer though. nothing like the smell of a good book!

Tar.Aldarion

ok we have people that like the smell and feel of books,can we get somebody to like the taste in here?

supersheep

Mmmm... tasty books... I am chewing on the corner of one of my Irish tapework books as I type this. I like paper.

Tesco are also selling it for €9.99, FYI.

Is there not something about shops not being able to sell below cost? I have a friend who works in a bookshop that was selling harry potter at 18.99 (something like six euro below the RRP) who had to deal with a customer complaining that it was bookshops like his (that he doesn't own, and is merely a lowly bookseller) that was part of 'rip-off' ireland. Attempting to tell the customer that selling a book with six euro off the price was anything *but* a rip-off.

supersheep

It's only household necessities that can't be sold below cost... I think that the whole hugely cheap books is a bad thing - people will go to chain stores, with their huge discounts, for the big books, and little bookshops will get even more screwed.

Like an idiot i bought it on impulse in HMV for goddam €18 and saw it in Reads for €12 on the way back to the train station.

LoLth

should be in bargain forum.

Locked as its pretty irrelevant at this stage.
