For trade collectors

Apparently Amazon is selling off Marvel trades and omnibuses for a fraction of what they usually are.

Books not out yet and ones that are valued at around $75 are all going for $14.99 or less a piece.

They've got Civil war stuff, Iron Man stuff, Captain America, Ultimates, Avengers Disassembled and so on.

They're apparently clearing stock so once things have sold out their gone.

EDIT Annnd it seems like it's all done now. Hope you ordered them because they're back up in price. From what I hear your prices are still the same if you ordered, but maybe it was a glitch? Or a 1 hour sale or something.

So what did everyone get?

EDIT AGAIN- Looks like Amazon is just canceling orders because it was a glitch D: Sad Pandas all around

Thank you so much for posting, even if I can only buy two.

WHELP. There goes all my money.

Hilariously enough though, I ended up buying more DC stuff than Marvel. The DC trades do seem to be on sale-ish. Not in the same way as the Marvel ones, but still, good enough for me.

Thanks for posting this! Even if my credit card is crying now. Haha.

D: I had to edit my cart so much, and I still spent more than I really should have.

But but but how could I pass that up? D: Couldn't make myself buy anything in current continuity though. *sigh* One of these days, my wallet will face the pain of Civil War and its aftermath. Not today. (Why should I buy things it hurts too much to read?)

It looks like the prices are back to normal. Or a lot of them, anyway. o3o

RE the ETA

[identity profile] tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com 2010-03-07 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I got MA Avengers TBP 3-6, MA Iron Man 1, Hypervelocity, Secret Wars Omnibus 1 and 2, and Ultimate Cable and Deadpool. I am on tight funds now. Shockingly, I don't much care.

My haul

[personal profile] valtyr 2010-03-07 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I got Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1, Secret Wars Omnibus, two Daredevil omnibuses, and the Ultimates Omnibus, all $8.24. House of M Iron Man, Wolverine and Hulk, Avengers Disassembled Captain America, Iron Man and Thor, Incredible Herc Sacred Invasion, Infinity Gauntlet, Nextwave: Agents of HATE and the Marvels Project all at $14.99. Everything but Nextwave is hardcover.

Good deals, but I am now a lady of reduced means! I will eat beans for a month and not leave the house.

I hope they honour the deals; considering that most of the Amazon top fifteen is comic trades right now, they stand to lose a lot of money, so they might just cancel. Fingers crossed...

It was a glitch! (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/03/07/official-its-a-glitch-and-its-being-fixed/) Oh man I really hope they don't cancel my orders, because this has been the impetus for my first ever Marvel comics purchase. >_> I got Iron Man and Ultimates and also Cable/Deadpool (can't really tell whether that was discounted but idc.)

I got

[identity profile] jazzypom.livejournal.com 2010-03-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ultimates omnibus, Secret War, Secret Wars and Forever Avengers and another one I can't remember.

Oh, well.

Damn. Missed it. That's what I get for going to church instead of surfing the web today.

*pouts* I just got an e-mail from Amazon that due to the pricing glitch, they ran out of The Ultimates Omnibus and don't know when they'll get it back in stock, so they cancelled my entire order.

Nice way to make me pay $65 if they get it back in stock. I think I'll see if my comic store has the others items I ordered instead of going back through Amazon.

They cancelled my order without so much as a courtesy email, which annoys me greatly.

[identity profile] epictastic.livejournal.com 2010-03-10 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
They sent me an email several hours after they baleted 3/4 of my orders, telling me that both omnibuses and the July-release book I pre-ordered (C&D ultimate collection v. 2) sold out. I am skeptical about that last one.

Way to be classy, Amazon. =_=
