What price Harry Potter?
ConsumerAffairs.com had this little blurb that will help you figure out if the price you’re paying for the new Harry Potter book is magical or a curse:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released on July 21, and people lined up everywhere to grab a copy of the $35 book. What price should you pay? Very aggressive retailers are selling it in the vicinity of $17.99. (Wal-mart is $17.87 and .97 shipping at their .com, and they are back in stock. Target is $17.99; Costco is $18.19; Amazon is $17.99 but shipping adds $3.99; Overstock.com is $17.49 but shipping adds $2.95; and Frys had it for a short time for an amazing $15.99.) With these prices in mind, you have a good sense of what is a good price and what is a lousy one.
