And in the last hour, Amazon has repriced some items. For example, The Fantastic Four Omnibus, discounted to $8.24, is now back up to $63. But there are still many great books at closeout prices so shop around…and maybe check back later on some of those items that have gone back to their original prices.
I wonder what's behind this whole sale. Most of the books involved say they'll ship in 1-2 weeks, which is not the norm for Amazon. Sounds like they bought out or acquired some going-out-of-biz chain or distributorship so they suddenly had this extra supply of merchandise to unload…and the sale is only good 'til that inventory is depleted.
