Looking for deal on hardcover Harry Potter boxset

[petrieslastword]

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 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 - $115.99, free shipping (and i think no tax? i have yet to buy from them)
Amazon - $122.85, free shipping and no tax

Borders - $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, specifically this post for this week.
