Ideally I would not have to do that.  If the inventory is at a show which I can confirm very quickly a customer could do it at a convention.  If it was a book that I was able to add to the pool technically I could do it at a show.  Doesn't matter if it is raw or CGC graded.  They could use their own phone once the book shows up to initiate the spin  Only issue right now is that new inventory is loaded at time intervals during a 24 hour period.  It is not a instant load.  

 awesome!!

And that was me who bought the Nick Fury Agents of Shield #5  thanks for all your help with it! I'll buy more if money gets here fast enough....

anyway thanks for the love

Let me make sure I'm understanding this, you HAVE TO purchase the book without knowing the price?  Not a lawyer but I'm sure that's against several retail customer disclosure/gambling rules.

The price of the book is clearly stated. 

You are spinning for the discount.  

If you don't want to spin the option to make an offer is still available to the customer.

I think it's a great idea, Bob.

It's called math. 

Example:

Book listed for $100.00

• Spin wheel. 
• Discount 20 percent.
• you now owe $135
• Dammit! 
• I never was very good at math!🤔😡🤡🗣😷🐒
• hold on ....book $100, discount 20 percent...double not ciphering carry the not add two, multiply...hold on...
• Uhhh....$123?? Hmmm..🙈🙈🍼🐇

Good for Bob! Look at how much goodwill he's generating on this just here alone.

I know right that guy who started the thread must really like Bob...or at least his wife likes him.

I had a misunderstanding at first (not Bob's fault) but it worked out.  The Spin a Deal is only available on a select group of books - you need to hit the Spin a Deal link at the top of his page to be taken to the list of books you can spin a deal.  I tried my luck on three books on the list that were pretty good deals to begin with and got 2 - 10% offs and 1 - 5% off.  Fun way to clear out some books.

There are three links on the website,  One in the yellow announcement bar,  second is in the drop down For Sale and the other is on the left side tool bar under Browse by Category.

Got a great deal on 13 books, even got a two 50% and a 75%

Yep - see them now.  I just got excited and started searching for books I wanted and skipped over the banner and the links.  The book I bought outside the spin a deal section was only a $25 book so it's good.  It is addictive especially when you haven't gotten a big discount - the next one will definitely get it!

How often will you be adding new comics to the Spin-A-Deal? Will it become a permanent feature of your website?

It is a permanent feature of the website.  I will add books as the numbers work on them.  As of now it is just graded books but could easily be done for raw books also.  Problem with raw books is the "return" part.  Customer "could" just return the books that they didn't get good discounts versus good ones.  Which frankly isn't the idea of the feature.  

Please note that the status of "New" reflects that the book is new on the website,  not "New" to the spin-a-deal offer.

I'm well aware of how to calculate a discount based on a percentage.  You didn't address at all if the book needs to be purchased first in order to "see" the discount.

Why don't you go to the website and try it out instead of just posting?.

I'll delete the purchase for you.

Hi Bob, I love the idea.  It may have been answered and I missed it but do you have a set rotation of when new books might be added like a certain day of the week or is it just random?

Thanks

Books are added randomly.  I have been adding books today.
