**Standard Disclosure: Howdy all. I like saving money. I love it when CAGs tip me off to deals. I work at TFAW. So when I hear of deals I share them here. But it would be unethical not to point out that I do work here. Carry on!**
Hey all,
Some of you may remember our Summer Steals sale last year where we took thousands of items and progressively discounted them over the course of the month. In essence, they started at 40% off and each week we took off another 10% until they were all at 80% off. Well...
It's back.
Spring cleaning is going to rock this May! We're offering huge progressive discounts on a ton of great pop culture collectibles (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501). This time around we're starting at 50% off on everything in the sale, taking another 10% off every week, and randomly throwing new items into the sale over its entirety. With prices this low, you're guaranteed to clean up every time you order!
TFAW's Spring Cleaning Sale (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) is all about saving you more money as spring rolls on into summer.
Here's the Deal:
Starting TODAY (May 1st), all our Spring Cleaning Deals (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) will be 50% OFF
From 5/10-5/16, all remaining Spring Cleaning Deals (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) will be 60% OFF
From 5/17-5/23, all remaining Spring Cleaning Deals (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) will be 70% OFF
Starting 5/24, we'll prove to you that we're committed to a clean warehouse by offering Spring Cleaning Deals (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) at 80% OFF
We have very limited quantities of these items--we're talking about a handful of each in our inventory. So if you see something you like, be sure to claim your Spring Cleaning spoils (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501) as soon as possible before they go to someone else!
SEE ALL SPRING CLEANING DEALS (http://www.tfaw.com/promos/Spring-Cleaning/?qt=cag_090501)
Enjoy fellow CAGs, and as always feel free to ask questions here and I'll try and stay on top of any new developments.
Cheers,
Andrew@TFAW

Any free s/h thresholds or coupons? I found one the other day, but it expired 4/30 (I was able to use it the first day of the sale for advance email customers), and I'd like to buy some more stuff as the discounts progress.

How about this?
CAGCOUP (http://www.tfaw.com/offer/cagcoup/?qt=cagcoup_090501) . A coupon for all my fellow CAGs.
Free Domestic Shipping on any order over $40. Enjoy!
I made sure to place one more order last night before the nick and dent deal was over. I already see a few books I might want to pickup as part of the clearance deal, though. I'll probably chance it and wait until the 70 or 80% off deals kicks in.

Because of a lack of funds, mostly to do with the Nick & Dent sale, I'll have to wait till the last day(s) of the sale and see if anything I want is left. Unless a Sin City Library 1 has been discovered in the warehouse somewhere and you want to give it a loving home for 50% off :-)

Too much good stuff right now. My watchlist is packed. Just the DC graphic novels made my list explode in size. I'll be picking up stuff at a higher percentage so some of the decisions will be made for with sell outs.

Finally dropped my resistance and bought from TFAW. The 50% off and the free shipping made it too tempting to pass up. On one hand, I managed to get some goodies for the missus for Mother's day as well as a couple of Macfarlane Dragons for my eldest daughter; on the other hand, curse you for thwarting my plans to save, OP...

Ha! I actually went crawling through the warehouse just to see if I could find one. No luck. :-( But who knows? One may still turn up. It really is kind of like the warehouse from Raiders of the Lost Ark down there.

I use the same system. I picked up a few things myself early on, because I wanted to make sure I got them and 50% is nice as is. But not having infinite amounts of cash, that 70-80% range looks awful sweet. AND, by then my fellow comic and toy fans will have made it easier for me by narrowing down the selection.

In equal measure: 1. Glad you enjoyed your swag. Drrrrrraaaagoonnnns! 2. And curses accepted (it's not the sort of curse where I just keep getting thinner and thinner is it?) - we are plan-thwarters. Thanks for giving us a shot! :D

Well I did my first order, had to bite on a few things at 60% off
We 3 TPB $5.19
Fables TPB Vol. 3: Storybook Love $5.99
Justice League International HC Vol. 02 $9.99
Justice League International HC Vol. 01 $9.99
JLA Deluxe Edition HC Vol. 01 $11.99
Manhunter #29 $1.19
Showcase Presents Haunted Tank TPB Vol. 2 $6.79
Lots of good Justice League stuff. And Hardcovers are nice, especially at prices lower than the paperbacks sell at online discount! I'll be waiting until 80% after this and see what is left. I seem to remember last year they added in the the nick and dent at some point, that would be a good refresh of titles for a higher percentage. There are still piles of things I want there, regardless. Almost bit on some figures, but its hard to reconcile one figure for the cost of a great graphic novel.

I would concur, have had no problems with them at all across a half dozen orders and Andrew is very helpful with questions here. I wish I live close to their brick and mortar stores.

I wish I live close to their brick and mortar stores.
If it helps at all, the selection and prices on graphic novels for the in-store TFAW clearance sale (that Andrew was giving us the heads-up about) on Saturday morning were bested by the sale on the website right now. The 90% off of Minimates and Vs cards was a wonder to beholded (beheld?). But they were gone within a half hour of the store opening. Glad he warned us to be there at open. They also had some Transformers and Action Figures 90% off as well. Don't get me wrong. It was awesome. But...
The point is that the website's sale will likely wind up being better for most people than what you were lamenting having missed. Enjoy your Michigan, and its...uh...stuff that Michigan has.
Does Michigan have anything?

I also have to agree. I ordered 2 books from thier " nick and dent " sale and let me tell you the books looked like they came off the shelf brand new. I cant find one nick or dent. The quality of thier products is great and the shipping is fast. Don't hesitate buy now!
Unless its something i want then hesitate all you want. :-P

Oh, and if I were to add things to my cart (assuming they would be in stock next week), would the discount automatically update in the items in the cart when the discount percentage next week? Or would I have to individually re-add them to have the new discounted price?

I do have to be the voice of (mild) discontent here. In my last nick & dent order, one of the Concrete volumes I ordered had significant water damage. The book was browned and wavy. But I was able to pry open the pages without doing much more damage to them. I decided not to dispute it because I knew there was a possibility of this happening (plus it was just a few dollars). I've taken my chances many a time and TFAW has done right by me in the past. I'm not happy about what happened with Concrete but I don't expect it'll happen again anytime soon. I just want to put this out there so people are clear about the reality of "nick & dent" items: be prepared for the worst.
EDIT: Issue clarified and resolved by TFAW.

From the Nick & Dent page of the TFAW site: "These products have been handled and have minor dings, scratches, and damage to the box or outside cover. The graphic novels are still perfectly good reading copies, and statues and toys inside the boxes are complete"
As I said in a previous TFAW thread, I've ordered more than 20 Nick & Dent TPB's/graphic novels from them during various sales in the past, and the worst that I've had was a pinkie-fingernail sized scuff on the spine of one of the books. Almost all of the rest were in pristine condition (some of the Hardcovers still shrink-wrapped) or very close. Nothing close to water-damage, and I'll be ordering quite a few more if they're still in stock when the discount drops a little more.
Bottom line: If there are some books you want and you're good with the price, I'd order them before they sell out.

With adding stuff as they go, there was quite a bit of good stuff at 80%. For stuff that you really want though, you might want to go sooner rather than later as they may have like 1 copy left. For my order at 60%, 1/2 of my 6 books were sold out after my purchases, so I certainly felt I got them in the nick of time.

Heya Rapsodist,
Sorry to hear about your volume of Concrete. To be absolutely clear, that kind of damage far exceeds what we allow in our nick and dents. So either your postman snorkeled down the coast to deliver your package ;) or someone wasn't paying close enough attention in the warehouse.
Either way drop us a line at service [at] tfaw.com and we'll get you sorted out. When we say minor nicks and dents we mean minor nicks and dents, not water soaked unreadable wavy brown trade paper monstrosities! :D I already gave the service department a heads up so they should be able to send you a suitable replacement copy with no problem.
WOW, good thing I saw this deal! Does the free shipping coupons still work? If it those I will order easily above $40 on stuff.
Indeed! The coupon is good through the end of the month (i.e. the entirety of the sale), so you're set nightmare.

The site has a wishlist feature, I have about 80 things on the wishlist now for easy cart adding. It worked like a dream for my 60% off order. Just woke up Sunday, logged into my account, went to the wishlist, and added the books I wanted to get for the 60% off. The wishlist also tells you if the item is in stock or not, so you do not have to fumble with searching for items that are sold out but are on your external list. And everything went to the correct percentage fine.

Andrew: Thank you! I really thought I'd just gambled the dice and came up short this time. I hadn't realized that the condition of my Concrete book is considered beyond nick & dent classification. In that case, you can scratch my previous post about the "reality of 'nick & dent' items"! Thanks for clearing this up. Now to have a talk with my postman about his extracurricular activities...

No problem. Thanks for bringing it up. We definitely take our nick and dents seriously, which is to say, we do not use it as a clearing house for crappy condition materials.
And maybe it wasn't the postman's fault. It does rain an awful lot up here. :D

I have bought a lot of nick and dent and only 2 have been in bad shape. 1 had a tear through half the cover. The other looked like it got stuck to glue and was peeled off. The back cover was totally ruined.

Any idea, Angura, if this will be the time that 70% comes up on Sunday? I stayed up til 4 am EST last Sunday to catch the 60%, but it still hadn't updated by then. And I would prefer not to stay up so late this time around if that is not when it is going to happen.

Any idea, Angura, if this will be the time that 70% comes up on Sunday? I stayed up til 4 am EST last Sunday to catch the 60%, but it still hadn't updated by then. And I would prefer not to stay up so late this time around if that is not when it is going to happen.
LOL, i did the same thing, except i gave up at 2am. the only thing that changed to 60% was the "spring cleaning sale" banner
Sorry about that! We work our code monkeys so hard at TFAW (plus we rarely feed them) that sometimes they end up passing out and missing important deadlines. Not to worry, they will be punished. :twoguns:
Midnight is indeed the time at which the discount should be changing. Last week's slip up was indeed that, a slip up. Our apologies. This week the time change should be much closer to midnight, there may be a few minutes delay, but it should not be a multi-hour wait again.

I have bought a lot of nick and dent and only 2 have been in bad shape. 1 had a tear through half the cover. The other looked like it got stuck to glue and was peeled off. The back cover was totally ruined.
Hey d_i,
If you get a book like that again, drop us a line. Yes, bent covers, minor scratches... even a tiny tear, that falls under "nick & dent". But any damage that impacts the readability of the title is definitely not copacetic.

Angura, thanks for clearing that up about the nick and dent books. I think the customer service you're showing here to fellow CAGs is fantastic and I'll definitely be buying several nick and dent books come Sunday with confidence. Thanks so much!

You're welcome dschroll, and thank you very much for the props and for giving us a shot!
We truly take our commitment to our collective bosses, that is to say our customers, seriously. And with the nick and dent items in particular, we're stoked to be able to offer near new quality items at such reduced prices. I have a TON (maybe even a literal ton) of nick and dent stuff myself. So when I hear about the odd overly damaged book slipping through our QC process, I want to make sure and clear that up right away and let people know that items like that do not meet our standards and they shouldn't feel like they've been had. Just drop us a line and we'll make sure you get taken care of.
Taken care of in the good way, not like we're going to have you rubbed out or anything. ;)
Cheers!

I contacted customer service about the book with the tear when I got it and was told unless pages were falling out of the book, they couldn't do anything for me. So I never bothered following up on the condition.
Not a big deal I guess. I have tape.

Thanks again Angura. Just placed an order with TFAW for 9 graphic novels. 5 of them were nick and dent items, but the total price for all 9 was $50. If I bought these same books on amazon, it would've cost me close to $120! Huge savings. Can't wait to check them out.
Please let us know if anything else gets added to the sale list as I may have to take a look at some more things :)

You magnificent bastard, you just made me spend 60 more dollars. I was about to get the Black Dossier till I saw this:
Hellboy Library Edition Volume 1: Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil HC (Signed Edition)
for $36!

Quick reminder. This Sunday at 12:01 a.m. PST, everything rolls over to 60% off.
And again, if you live in Portland (not at our Citywalk location, sorry) - be at your local TFAW bright and early Saturday morning (well, regular opening hours anyway). ;)

My first order hasn't arrived yet, but then I'm on the east coast, so that's to be expected. I must say that customer service was very helpful in fixing a mistake (entirely my fault) for me. It certainly inspires confidence.

Been watching the family guy figures since they were at 60%. Lucky to save an additional 20 more.
finished out padding the order with the other Encyclopedia to match my Xmen one, and another Wolverine book.
I wished they had more of him... thought they would.

Ordered the following this morning at 80% off:
Mask Ltd Ed Hard Cover(HC) box set
Aliens: Tribes GSA HC
Aliens: Female War TPB N&D
Aliens: Harvest TPB N&D
Aliens: Labyrinth TPB N&D
All for under $30 shipped.
I also ordered Heart of Empire: HC at 70% off, last week. I was surprised to see that it was still available this morning at 80% off. I've been wanting this for some time but I didn't feel like paying $100 for it. I would have been ecstatic if I had purchased it for $20, but I'm still happy that I found a Signed, HC edition for $30.
Thanks Angura for the headsup on this wonderful sale. I have a lot of novels that I picked up too, so I have a lot of reading this summer.

Dammit. I was hoping to get my first order delivered from the 70% off sale as many of the items were nick and dent items. I wanted to see the condition of those books before committing to another purchase. But, looking at the 80% off items, there were some that I really wanted and they were such a good deal that I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger.
Thanks to whomever posted the "ROCKOUT" code since now I only had to buy $25 worth to get free shipping :)

Wow, it was pure coincidence I noticed this sale (thanks to whoever made this post appear on the main page of CAG) I took a looksee and managed to find about $400 worth of stuff. After much crying and complaining, I managed to eliminate a lot of stuff and dropped my total down to $220.... which was still WAAAAAAY too much for a cheapass like myself, however my wonderful wife swooped in to the rescue and said she would buy them for me and hold onto them as a christmas present!
Woo-Hoo for the wife!

I know. I know. I know! 2 days. So far so good. Things have been in my cart for while now.
Picked up my first box from the post office today. My only complaint is that I obviously ordered too much-- a box full of books is awfully heavy to carry, even for just a couple of blocks! :lol: Now I've just got to decide what to read first. Hmm... Iron Man or Fantastic Four? Or just dive into the Free Comic Book Day issues included with my order? It's my favorite sort of dilemma.

Just got my order. Man even the nick and dent was impressively un-nicked and un-dented - almost like new. Not to mention I got 3 bonus comics. Funny cause I spaced on free comic book day so I guess TFAW is giving them out. Yipee!
...also...glad you guys have Spiegelman's Maus...added to cart!

Well, I got my 70% off order, most of which consisted of nick and dent items. I'm happy to report that all of the books are in excellent condition. The only one that has any noticeable damage has a couple of pages with the corners torn off. Nothing serious at all and perfectly readable. Everything else looks no different than if I went to my local comic book store and bought it off the shelf.
This was a fantastic sale. I can't wait to receive my order from the 80% off sale. :)

Yeah, you have the advantage of being on the same coast as them. Definitely takes some time for us east coasters to get our orders, but well worth it. Looks like the 80% off orders will take a bit longer since they haven't shipped yet, or at least mine hasn't. Understandable, I'm sure they're slammed with orders.

My first order (1 item), when things were at 70% off, it took 2 days to process and ship out and then 6 days (including holiday) to get to Atl, GA. with free shipping.
My 2nd order(5 items), placed on the 24th still says pending and my card already charged full amount. I'm guessing they're probably slammed with numerous large orders, but I'll probably give them a call later to find out when my order will ship.

Got my first-ever TFAW order yesterday from the 70% sale:
Amazing Spider-Man TPB Vol. 1: Coming Home - nick & dent $4.78
Amazing Spider-Man TPB Vol. 2: Revelations - nick & dent $2.69
Amazing Spider-Man TPB Vol. 3: Until The Stars Turn Cold - nick & dent $3.89
Essential Captain America TPB Vol. 2 - nick & dent $4.48
Essential Daredevil TPB Vol. 3 $5.09
Essential Fantastic Four TPB Vol 5 - nick & dent $5.09
Young Avengers HC Vol. 1: Sidekicks - nick & dent $5.99
Everything was in good shape with the exception of one of the Spidey nick & dents which was pretty beat up, but no big deal. The one big problem I did have was that instead of the Young Avengers hardcover they sent me the tpb. I contacted customer service through the website yesterday afternoon and asked for an email reply but haven't heard anything yet. Anyone know if there's any chance I'll hear something this weekend or is customer service strictly a M-F thing? I wanted to place a larger last-minute 80% off order but I want to wait to find something out so I know if I should go ahead and re-order the hardcover since I think it's still available.

No, it was Vol. 2 for me. Vol. 1 has some definite wear but not that bad. "All worn out" is a pretty good way to describe my Vol. 2, though, with a gash across the spine.

Ordered ~7am Sunday(24th), my order hasn't shipped, still says pending and my card was charged the full amount.
I did give them a call Friday(29th) afternoon and they said that their processing time is usually 2-5 business days but because Monday(25th) was a holiday and the amount of orders they've received because of the sale, it might take a bit longer to process than usual.

Hi all,
Just wanted to pop in real quick and chime in on the shipping.
Orders are taking a little longer than usual. Please accept our sincere apologies, the sheer volume of orders (particularly on the weekend of the 24th) combined with the holiday, delivered a resounding one-two punch to our shipping department. And if you can believe it they refuse to work 24 hours a day! Despite my generous offer to provide them with semi-clean water and the occasional loaf of moldy bread. Ingrates! ;)
Rest assured that we've been running extra shifts to catch up and it looks like we should shortly have everything out the door. Again, we apologize profusely and can only hope that the sheer volume of awesome, super discounted swag that is soon to find its way to you, will turn those frowns back to smiles. :D
And in regard to the out of order stuff, keep in mind that we're pulling from four warehouse locations, consolidating it in one location, then sending it to all the corners of the world. Sometimes the necessary ingredients for one person's order show up ahead of someone who had ordered previously. Or it just so happens that the items for Order 2 are on hand while items for Order 1 must be consolidated. We'll send them on out as soon as they're available, but rest assured it will all be coming.
I hope this clears a few things up and thank you thricely for your patience and support. We love throwing these sorts of huge sales and hope you enjoy all of your stuff.
Cheers!

Well I'm glad I've made so many new friends here, because I've pretty much irked all the ones at work... particularly in the shipping department. ;) In all seriousness though, it took a lot of hard work from a bunch of dedicated people to make this happen, and I'm grateful to say "You're welcome." on behalf of the best team of co-workers out there (IMHO).
You can expect sales from us all the time - we've got some great micro sales lined up for you later in the month. As far as these big honkin' sales go, I'd be lying if I said I knew for sure how often we'll do them. Definitely once a year, and with any luck more often. Rest assured I'll keep everyone updated here.
Again, a huge thank you to everyone for checking us out AND for your patience with the shipping delay. I know that's a pain in the neck, and we're already figuring out ways to minimize those delays in the future. Have a great week and enjoy the sun... that is, if you decide to take a break from all your comic reading. :D

Should I be worried that my third order came in sooner than my second order (which I placed 3 or 4 days before)?
I wouldn't get too worried, it probably means that your 2nd order has an item that is proving difficult to locate. I'd contact Customer Service at:
service@tfaw.com
and follow up with them. They should be able to get to the bottom of things and get you taken care of.
Cheers!

Ok, real quick, two things.
1. Rapsodist - Glad they got you your stuff and welcome back from Tibet! That's awesome man.
2. Look for a new post tomorrow right here on the C to the AG with a sweet new deal we cooked up. I'll only say that it features something we've had a lot of requests about. That is all......
Cheers!

Is it free comics? All I can afford now is free comics.
According to UPS my books are on the truck and heading to me. :D

Shipment 2 came in today. Everything in good condition, besides one volume of Trigun that showed a little wear-and-tear.

My 80% discount order arrived today. Everything was in great shape except for the nick and dent version of 300. The spine was broken and pages were starting to pull away. I contacted customer service this morning and received a response this afternoon. They're sending me another copy of 300. With service like this, TFAW has found themselves a lifelong customer. :)

I got the marvel encyclopedia and it's messed up!
the xmen/spiderman section is repeated. .... where Blackwidow should be, I've got half of spiderman/and all of xmen repeated.... where it's suppose to be page 60, I've got 161.
:{
so it was a nick and dent but... shouldn't this be responsible from the publisher?
I wouldn't think nick/dent would be paper bind errors....

1. Yes. That's a publisher error. Bad Marvel, Bad! :D But even the best of us make mistakes and, for the record, Marvel has a really really low error rate. For reals. They've got their act on lock.
2. Get a hold of service in the morning. If we have a correct page order replacement we'll swap you out... if we don't we'll give you a refund. No problem.
Cheers!

I got everything today, the nick and dents looked brand new! This was my first time ordering from you guys and I will order again.
now for a concern, even though I got the free shipping(thanks) I wish I could have been allowed to pay a dollar just to have a usps delivery confirmation tracking number on it, my main reason is I live in a condo complex and my mailman(a-hole) just rings the buzzer and throws the package in the hall. If I wasn`t home today(which I hardly am), it could have been stolen, I wouldn`t have even known it had been delivered if I wasn`t home. I would hope you would offer a usps tracking number in the future as it is not expensive(under $1). other than that it was great service and I highly recommend. once again thanks for great service.

That is a great suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to let us know what we need to do to deserve your business. I'm going to make sure this gets to our Shipping and Service Managers and see what they can do to make it happen. Thanks!

success!
Looks like they are going to replace the book. first email said they weren't responsible, going to pull the rest of the inventory, refund the teeny amount I paid for it, but then a half hour later, they found one!
Shipping soon and it'll be great to replace it. Finally read those missing pages.
TFAW wins my vote!
Hope to see a Fall cleaning too! ;)

finally my order arrived, everything was in almost non nick and dent condition, but I have one problem, I ordered young avengers 1 and 2 as hardcovers but I received paperbacks instead should I email them about this?

Yep! Doublecheck your invoice just to be sure. But if it says hardcovers and you have TPBs, that's an error that should be fixed.

I received both my orders in the last few days and everything is in great condition. The only thing that was even remotely nick & dent was Elektra: The Scorpio Key which has some light wear on the cover. I'm very impressed.

With my order a couple of the nick & dents looked like they where read the spine was creased. 2 of the hard covers where still factory sealed.

Wanted to chime in that I received my order today--17 books, 16 of which were nick and dent, almost all of which came in a condition that I would have been perfectly happy with if I had bought them new from Amazon. I had to check the packing slip to see which ones were nick and dent because I couldn't tell. Here's hoping the next big sale will include some more Vertigo!

They'll wait for that exact moment. The minute you drive off, THEY STRIKE.

I gotta comment on TFAW. I ordered 9 books and a shirt for like 50 bucks shipped, and just like everyone else, I couldn't find one nick of dent anywhere on these books. The only thing I found wrong with one of the books was it looked like it was sprayed with something that dried. A little wipe and it's good as new.

Just updating on the quality of my orders. Ordered around 50 trades overall and most were nick & dent, and I swear I have only seen ONE page inside ONE trade that was a little torn up but still perfectly readable and I hardly even noticed it myself.
Excellent website and will buy from them again, but with so many comics, might be until next years sale. Very pleased with TFAW. Thanks for the info during the sale ANGURA.
