Score. And then I say, “Score” again.
So, a couple days ago Amazon experienced a pricing glitch wherein a bunch of graphic novels and comic collections were reduced in price to $14.99. I stumbled across this early on in the crisis. At that time, nobody knew it was a glitch; I assumed it was a big sale. Among the discounted items were the EC Archives (Tales from the Crypt, et al). These are 50 dollar books, and I covet them most highly. But we just don't have the money to throw around, so I limited myself to just one volume. With shipping it was 19 bucks. Score.
A day later, I received my shipping notification and UPS tracking number. Soon after, I learned that I was one of the lucky ones — some people (a lot of people, actually) had their orders cancelled. I also learned that Amazon was giving out $25 credits, which I thought was pretty nice of them.
The day my book was delivered, I received an email that I had been issued the $25 credit. Even though my order was not cancelled. Score again.
I used the windfall to get something for Steph and a couple more comic collections (ones that were unaffected by the pricing glitch and therefore still in stock). You'll be hearing about all of these acquisitions in due time here on the blog.
