I tried to take advantage of the offer from Miniature Market.com from page 59 of Dragon issue 346.
The offer is for one free miniature of up to $3.99.
When I entered the code from the ad, it came up as $2.99 off my order.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
================
Here's some other aspects of the offer:
1.) When ordering a metal mini, you can pick first class shipping or priority shipping. First class is much cheaper.
However when ordering multiple minis (at least the plastic D&D minis), you ONLY have priority shipping come up.
2.) The ad offers one free mini priced at SRP (suggested retail price) of $3.99. Are the prices offered on their site SRP to THEM or is SRP the retail price, not their discounted price?
Got a reply from the owner of Miniature Market.com.
$3.99 is the suggested retail price.
Since he offers minis at 25% off, that means you are getting one of the miniatures he offers for $2.99 on his site for free.
I gleefully took advantage of them as soon as I read thru their ad in Dragon! Figured out pretty quick what their offer was - SRP is the Suggested Retail Price, not the store's price (I do this as a salesman on a regular basis - showing clients the MSRP and showing them my sale-price so they can see how mnuch they are saving). So, yeah, effectively, you get a single character-style mini for free.
I ordered 6 or 7...
:D
Ok, I actually ordered 8.
They arrived today, looking fresh off a game-store shelf! So, I ordered late Thursday night and they arrived in Monday's mail. I'll be ordering from them again, for sure...
It seems like a good site (though the guy's grammar could use some work).
