So if one hasn’t noticed, sales are not something we do a lot of, for a lot of reasons. However, when there is a good reason, we’ll do a good sale.
This weekend (Feb 26-27) is that time!
So how big a sale are we talking?
40% off everything in the sale, cash only. For many items, this is essentially at our cost. We just want to break even on these so we can use that capital to bring in products people are more excited about.
So what’s the deal?
Now that we’ve been open a few months, we have a better handle on what people are looking for. We want to do our best to serve those needs. However, to do that, we need to rearrange our space and clear out some things to bring in new things.
So we are running a one-and-done sale, meaning once we do it, its over. I’ll take any of our remaining sale inventory after to our warehouse and clear the rest of it online over the next 10 years or so.=)
So what’s on sale?
The criteria for what we are selling is this: any items which we have not sold any copies of since opening. Why? I don’t feel right selling something to someone for less than I sold it to someone else.
The good news is there are a LOT of great board games that meet this criteria. When we opened the store, I did a ton of research and brought in only the very best games. Meaning, if its in the store, its popular with a lot of folks, for good reason. We will have a ton of AAA, hugely popular games on sale…they are just not popular in our town.=)
For compliance reasons, I can’t tell you what many of the games are, but if you walk in and ask, I’ll be glad to let you know. One notable section I can let you know about is our entire Pathfinder selection will be on sale.
So what are you bringing in?
We plan on expanding our Warhammer section, with both additional miniatures as well as a full Citadel paint rack. We already have some of the smaller ETB boxes en route, and we’ll offer any good kits Games Workshop has on the lower end of the pricing scale. Please let us know what armies you would like us to focus on! We will also continue to bring in all new WoTC D&D titles, as well as a selection of 3rd party D&D products.
We already have an a shelf or 2 worth of HABA children’s games in a box at the warehouse, which many parents have been requesting. We also want to carry more educational/home school style games based on Civics and History. Again, if anyone has a suggestion of where we should start, let us know!
We also plan on starting a small puzzle section, again likely a shelf or two to start just to see how it goes. If you have a favorite brand or topic, let us know what it is!
Anything else to know?
The main reason for us to do this is so we can better serve our community. If there are things you’d like to see us do or offer, please let us know. All of these changes are to better fit what we’ve heard people talking about in the store.
Even if we don’t carry a particular product, we’ll be glad to order it for you. We offer 10% off all special order items, as it won’t end up taking up floor space.
If you’d like us to put a sale game on layaway for you, we’d be glad to do that with 40% down.
