James -

Yeah, that was one thing I noticed when I was browsing through the comics selection at Deep Discount: stuff from Marvel and DC could generally be found cheaper somewhere else. But most of the stuff from other publishers (Dark Horse, the indie and manga publishers) was cheaper at DD.

And it looks like DD caught on: the coupon codes are no longer giving an additional 20% off books (it still works on most DVDs), but the book sale prices are still pretty good.

Hmmm… DCBS still beats them at some things, like the DC Showcase volumes that are $8.67 at DCBS and $12 something there. Though you don’t have to pre-order from Deep Discount.

When I stopped shopping at my LCS, I just told him I was no longer ordering anything, and to please cancel my pull box. I got the things that were already ordered over the next couple of months then was done.

So how do I tell my LCS that I’m gonna start ordering from Deep Discount? I get 20% off everything at my LCS, but Deep Discount is still cheaper, has a much better selection (manga, Fantagraphics, D&Q, etc. are nonexistent at my LCS) and free shipping. I feel bad.

One more tip: The SUPERSALE coupon code can only be used once, so plan your shopping wisely!

Thanks for the heads up you two. I missed out on the amazon sale you pointed at, but I’ll have to explore this site when I have some time.

You’re welcome! And in case you’re shopping for anything else, I just got an email from Deep Discount today with the coupon code “SUPERSALE” that’s good for an additional 20% off their “MEGA SALE!” items through 6/16. So using the coupon, you can save up to 57% off for certain items.
