in a weird turn of events i did one last BN.com search this morning of several states. It showed up as in stock at a store an hour from my parents (i live on the other side of the country). Did the reservation form and then called the store. My dad picked it up an hour ago. He said every employee stopped to see the person who scored the clear Bowie. Thanks Dad!!! A restaurant giftcard is coming his way.
Like i said in my OP thanks to everyone here. You guys are awesome. Im eager to keep hunting for the rarities you need help with
That's awesome! Congrats...I'm glad everything worked out for you. I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive from the Bowie website. Shipping status says it arrived at my post office this morning. Obviously I didn't get a clear copy, but still hoping for a first pressing. Most other places still are listing them as awaiting repress. Fingers crossed.
SCORE! Glad to hear a tale of success. I was close to my second copy today but was denied at the last step... Am now compiling a list of all B&N stores with notes on music department staff members and helpfulness ratings
