I just received an email from Best Buy that the Nook Color I ordered is now available for pickup. I had ordered it last week when they were offering a free case with the purchase of the device. I believe the deal is still valid for this week (2/6-2/12), so I'd suggest taking advantage. I picked the easel-style one that is B&N branded. Really nice, considering it retails for $49.99.
Not sure why so many people have trouble locating these. They are available at my local best buys and well... if you walk into Barnes and Nobles... they have plenty. Is there a reason people aren't going to Barnes and Nobles brick and mortar?
You must have missed the article going around reporting that Nook Color's were being pulled off the shelves for 2 weeks...
I heard they are doing it just for inventory. Best buy close to my house also pulled the inventory but I went to Barnes & Noble and they had plenty.
$25 Gift Card with $250 Purchase
They also have a coupon to get a $25 gift card with purchase of $250 good until the 12th. Coupon is attached and links below. I just used it tonight. You have to choose between the $25 gift card or the free case you can't get both.
Here's the link to the coupon dealspl.us/bestbuy-coupons/208649p

Yup. It is the same price everywhere retail.
Buy it online and take advantage of cash back offers.
For example, sign up for fatwallet.com. go to their page about B&N, click through and you will get 4% cash back from B&N through fatwallet.
Also, pay with an American Express Open card and save 5%. So you save about $22. Not sure if that is worth all of your trouble, but there you go.
Thanks. I'm just gonna print out that fatwallet page and price match it at Best Buy. Should almost cover tax.
Get it from Craigslist. I got mine brand new for $180 with a case.
Best I could find was a B&N coupon for 15% off 1 item...... by then I found a brand new still sealed with case for 170 on CL.

15% off? That's pretty good. Where'd you get it from?
BTW I've been checking CL for the last 2 months. Theres one guy selling it already rooted for $300 (friggin idiot lol).
I don't think that the b&n coupons apply to the NC.

Every coupon I've seen for B&N has said:
[...]not eligible for purchases of the following products and services: [...] NOOK(TM) and related accessories[...]
Yep sorry, i didn't read fine print.

There were a couple on my local CL right after Christmas. One in Detroit & another in Lansing. Both were asking $200, for Nooks (supposedly) still in shrink wrap. My guess is they were presents and the sellers wanted cash rather than a BN gift card.
I tried to work a deal with the seller closest to me, but we (her, actually) couldn't coordinate schedules. I was not going to drive an hour for the other one, so I just bought new at the BN store.
Seriously, if you can make a CL or other deal work and save a few bucks, great. For me, it was not worth the time & hassle to save $50.
Groupon is offering a $20 Barnes & Noble Credit, good on Toys and Games, Books and More, for $10.00 Free Shipping.
Valid on regular priced and sale items online or in store. Note the value of store credit is reduced by $10 on Apr 10, 2011.
Works on Nooks and Nookbooks. Just thought I'd share.
How about covers?
Its not very clear on what it applies to..

You get a B&N Gift Card number. I would assume you can use the gift card for anything. However, if you apply it to your account for ebooks it'll be for ebooks online. I learned that the hard way but you should be able to use the code at checkout on anything.
For those that don't know already, the nook color is on sale on ebay for $199. It is being sold by Barnes & Noble on eBay and they are giving a $50 coupon. Here is the link:

$200 dollars, not $150.

I show the link as $249 less $50 or $199AR
Normally all these repeat post threads would annoy me but I'm glad that there are so many people with an eye out for deals like this. And it means our community is going to be growing quite a bit. Heck, I'm just now picking up a NC even though I've been reading up for the past month on this device. Compliments my Evo nicely.

Coupon code CBARNESDD when checking out takes 50 off. Just checked and still active. And there's 5864 units left on this auction. Sales are starting to slow down!

I wish I could have picked one of those up! I look for used nooks on craigslist sometimes...
Hello,
I just got a 15% discount coupon from BN. Please do let me know if it might be of use to you. I live outside US (in UK) and not normally buy from BN. Thanks
mikevraziel : i am looking for a coupon to purchase the nook ColoR~! plz pm me thanks
From what I have read in the past and when about to buy mine is that they don't allow any discounts on the nook color. Only gift cards. Even the B&N rewards discount didn't apply.
I just wanted to get an idea of how the majority of people aquired their nook color. Online, in a B&N store, Best buy, craigslist? I'm shopping around and looking for the best place to get one under MSRP, or at least tax-free. Any suggestions, or websites I should keep an eye out on for possible sales?
I got mine from craigslist for $225.00 total. it was brand new (still in plastic). the best part about CL is no sale tax, saving me $30.00. I met the guy at the mall give him 1/2 of the money and told him if the nook boots up fine I'll give him rest of the money. so far I'm vary happy with my NC running CM7
best buy simply so i could also get a micro sd with an adapter at the same store.
I bought mine on ebay new, but no box. 207 shipped.
Ebay here as well. B&N provided a coupon for $50 off. It was $208. Pretty sure it's the first time I've paid a tax for an internet purchase.
Ebay With the Bn coupon $206 with tax
ebay, new, from b&n $200
Ebay during B&N's sale.
Ebay as they don't sell them in Australia. I just missed out on the coupon so paid too much.
i got mine from b&n cuz they have a store about 100 feet from my apartment...

Had to get mine from the farther-away Walmart, as B&N, BB, and the closer Walmart were all out of stock. Tempted to get it online, but wanted to try local first.
got mine at a brick and mortar B&N store, it was an impulse buy
Bought mine at the nearest B&N store. Nice folks, but "The Nook Guy" wasn't there.
Store. There's a big stink on b&n forums towards people who got it on hsn. Kinda funny.
Best buy while my visit to USofA.
With CM7 NC makes the best price-performance for me.. and it's not sold in Europe.. they'd outsell ipad in Europe if B&N saw the oppurtunity
Best Buy, mostly on a whim, knowing that there was cme community behind it. Of course, things have really changed now, haven't they.....
Craigslist for $150. Couldn't resist such a low price. It was practically brand new.
I bought it because I knew there is an active XDA community supporting it. Even at $250 the nook is a pretty nice bargain given the hardware.

I got mine at Best Buy with some other stuff so I could get it with no interest for 18 months deal.
I bought mine at a B&N store. It was a week before the Groupon coupon deal but at least I got a 5% rebate by using a B&N Mastercard.
I received an email from Barnes & Noble today saying that effective with renewal of my card they will offer $25 discounts on both the Nook Color and Nook Tablet and $10 on other Nook models. I was disappointed when I bought my NC and had to pay full price (they typically give discounts of at least 10% with the cards).
Nook books don't get any discount and I probably won't renew the card. I haven't bought any paper books for over a year.
One discount per year

Seems kind of useless after you've already purchased the Nook! You pay the $25.00 for the membership then they give it back to you in a discount?
I let my membership lapse as well, no discount on E-books so there is no point in giving B&N another $25.00!
They've been doing this promo for months! Now if only their membership had benefits....
I look at continuing the card this way...
Over the course of a year, I will spend enough time in my local B&N's to read at least 7-10 books "in store". This is my way of offsetting no discount and/or coupons for my e-book purchases.
While I am there performing the above function I purchase enough frappacinos and soup at a discount over the year to offset the annual $25.00 renewal when combined with the increasingly rare actual book, magazine, or DVD purchase.
The community college where I teach online has a B&N owned/operated bookstore that used to give the faculty a free card each year but that stopped about two-three years before the Nook came into existence.
