Looking for deal on hardcover Harry Potter boxset

[contej85]

As the title says, I'm trying to find the best price on the set of Harry Potter hardcover books, as the lady wants them for X-mas. Amazon seems decent, but is there anything better?

I bought the softcover box set of 1-6 off Scholastic School Store for $18 shipped. Not sure if it's still going on or if they have any left.

Thanks, but I actually need the hardcover set of all 7.

Not sure if you're a member, but Costco (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11225343&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US&s=1) has the box set for $99.99. It's not really a deal if you buy it online as you have to pay tax + shipping. I know there's been a few left at the locations near me.

Other options:
Buy.com (http://www.buy.com/prod/harry-potter-box-set-books-1-7-with-sticker/q/loc/106/204562905.html) - $115.99, free shipping (and i think no tax? i have yet to buy from them)
Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Boxset-Books-1-7/dp/0545044251/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228934272&sr=8-2) - $122.85, free shipping and no tax

Borders (http://www.borders.com/online/store/SearchResults?keyword=harry+potter&type=0&simple=1) - $195.00 list price. With a Borders Rewards card, the 30% or even the 40% off any item coupon might comes around that you can use in store (plus shipping if you use the coupon online).

30% off: $136.50 + tax
40% off: $117 + tax

Right now they only have 30% off coupons. You can find all coupons and deals in the Borders / B&N thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177479), specifically this post (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5221006&postcount=157) for this week.
