I was at microcenter earlier today and they had a sign saying all red tagged books at 2.99!!! I picked up quite a few hint books for 2.99... some i found as low as .99 cents!

If someone is looking for a certain book, let me know and I will check it out. This is a very YMMV since there are only a few microcenters in the US and no, I cannot list every book I saw with a red sticker on it. I can recall a few but not many since there was a lot of stuff in that section..
Also please note that most of the stuff I saw was from 2003 or before... so don't expect a cheap guide to star wars:EAW or Path of Neo or Madden 2006. Other thing to note, these guides aren't in the best of conditions and it looks like they have been shoved around a lot and tend to have cracks, dents, bents... some i have seen look like some fool bit off a piece of some of the covers :O other than that some are in pretty descent condition. Please make an offer if you want me to get these guides for you. If there is nothing on your list that I want, then please offer something for my trouble for traveling 30 minutes and gas to get these guides for you.

Is there a guide your looking for?? Its not a penny guide, but at least its cheap. Most of them are NOT in good condition. Some of them have been read to death, others have bends, scratch marks, dents and so on..poor books :(

They had 1 guide for SW: Bounty Hunter that I was waiting for a LONG Time for the price to drop, its gone :_(

never heard a cagger call something that is ultra cheap =OMEGA cheap. some of them came up like at 87 cents ....how cheap is that?? sure its not a penny guide, but you have better chances here as they aren't giving you bs about having to throw them away!
