Open House questions

Unread post by rat_bastard »

So I was going over a list of books that I feel I need to pick up at the open house, the latest rifter, Josh's Shemarian book, Library of Bletherad, the Palladium Pint glass set - etc and I realized that even though this is allot of value for my dollar, its allot of dollars for my value.

So my Question is, is there a discount on product at the OH? Cause I'm on a budget and only going because every significant expense for the trip was paid in December.

Generally not. The discount really comes when you conisider the lack of shipping cost, and the signatures and such that you might get.

Generally, maybe... but specifically:

YOu all realize the 30% discount is for GM's only.

Just throwing it out there just in case.

Cool, i'm jellous. I wish I had a 30% discount. Say how would you like to be a mule for me, we can buy the books and smuggle them illegally into Canada. Don't worry about getting caught its only the Can/Am boarder.

I have four more characters to roll up (the last two took me four hours a piece). After that, I have to flesh out Silver Rush. I'll actually be ready before-hand for once? Now where is a hardwood table when I need one? :?

Wait, a schedule up before Open House starts? That sir, is unpossible. :erm:
