| Hey. I saw this posted on hordelings and thought I'd share the fun.Â
Buy.com has BW boosters for $9 and change, but if you order $30 worth(4 boosters), you get free shipping. And, if you pay through google checkout, you get $10 off. So, that comes out to $6.67 per BW booster. As far as I know, they only charge tax if you're in the state of CA. In that case, it works out to $7.34 per booster, which is still one hell of a deal. Hurry, act fast before they sell out!
Forgot to add one important thing: They don't ship out of the US. Sorry international folks.

| The trick is to get them in groups of 4, and apply the google checkout each time. If you get more than 4 per one order, ou don't reap the benefits.

| I just couldn't resist and bought 4 boosters. I had promised myself that I would not buy any Blood War boosters (singles and trades only), but this deal is to sweet to pass up. Let's see what happens.
That was an awesome find!!! | |

| they wouldn't let me google check out because of this restriction Ineligible Items - Certain items are unavailable for purchase using Google Checkout. In addition to the items listed in Google’s Prohibited Products Policy, there are certain other items that are currently unavailable or that may become unavailable for use with Google Checkout (including, but not limited to, cell phones, market place items, digital downloads, magazines, extended warranties, pre-orders, on order items, items requiring the collection of Ca recycling fees and other special items). When your shopping cart contains items that cannot be purchased using Google Checkout, the Google Checkout button will appear grey and you will be unable to checkout using the Google Checkout process. The following is an example of what the Google Checkout button will look like when you have ineligible products in your basket.

| | This AM I tried to place another order 2 War Drums 2 Blood Wars, when I tried to checkout it said that WD was a "on order item" and google checkout was grayed out. When I took them out and just had 4 BW it went through with no problems. Looks like they might be out of war drums. | |

| | I was still able to order Blood War this afternoon, surprisingly. I decided it was time to pick up a Gargantuan Black Dragon + 2 BW boosters = just over $27. Too sweet a deal. I'm going to hurry up and do as much Xmas shopping as possible on buy.com before this goes away. | |

Well, I am going to get some minis for my bro for Xmas, but actually I was thinking in general about the $10 off deal for other things from the site. I've seen a few other things I could get for my kids at a nice price by ordering $30 batches at a time. | |

I'm waiting for them to realize how much money they're losing and fix this fun little loophole.
It's not Buy.com that's losing money, it's Google that's giving it away. I just spent a couple of minutes looking through the Google checkout faq, and apparently the bonus won't even show up on most merchant's invoices, so it looks like Google is paying the $10 for you.
That, I can't understand! | |
