Michigan Book and Supply: 75% off all Michigan Apparel
For all MGoBloggers in Ann Arbor,
Michgan Book and Supply (located at the intersection of State and North University) has a 75% off Michigan Apparel that is definitely worth a look. This sale covers almost all Michigan merchendise in the store, with the only exception being Sugar Bowl related items. Otherwise it's pretty much everything, including—much to my surprise—jerseys (you can get a #16 jersey with sewn on letters for about $19).
I went there this afternoon off the recommendation of a friend, and it was awesome. So I figured I'd share with the rest of the MGoBloggers, because honestly, can any of us have enough Michigan stuff?
EDIT: Forgot to add, the sale—from what I was told by the cashier—doesn't have a set date when it will end, and will continue until they sell enough of their stock. That being said, from what she said it seems like they still have a lot left to sell, so I'd guess the sale will last for a few more days.

Today only?

Shoot, forgot to add that. No it's not. It's actually been going on since Wednesday apparently (but people didn't really start going until yesterday), and they're continuing until they sell enough of their stock (I asked them, and they didn't know for sure when they would end the sale). I would veture a guess that it will last for at least the weekend, and maybe longer.

Wow....I'll definitely have to check that out. Is it a one-day thing?

Bookstores that gouge people on textbooks going out of business? I'm not going to shed a tear about that. My books are all $50 less on amazon.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:08 PM ^
Agree but they had cool stuff there that had nothing to do with textbooks, particularly upstairs in the arts section.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
The reason it's more expensive is all of the overhead that goes into running a bookstore combined with the much larger volume that Amazon does.
January 28th, 2012 at 7:52 PM ^
90% of a textbooks price is set by the publishers/used book companies. The only price you can really "blame" on the store is stock bought during buyback and kept for sale next semester.

online shopping available or no..?
January 28th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
I checked their website, and I didn't see anything.

Gave them a call and their adult jerseys are gone sadly but I did order a brand new 5 x 3 M flag for 4.99! I tried to get my hands on a new 2012 calendar and some maize shirts but it turns out they sold out pretty fast. I need to move up there lol.

I just got back, new jersey in hand. I'd check it out.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:26 PM ^
Is yours screen print or sewn?
January 28th, 2012 at 5:31 PM ^
or basketball cause he said they didn't carry hockey either and that the football ones were sold out unless you got lucky and found one. I've been trying to find a sewn away jersey.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:56 PM ^
The screen print were $60 marked down to 15. The sewn, which I got, were $75 marked down to 19 or whatever. They seriously had a whole rack of them left. I got the last sewn blue #16 in large that I saw, and I didn't check the others. That was 10 minutes to close today so I'm sure there's still a lot there.
Edit: Lower poster said he just got back so maybe they stayed open later and sold a lot. It was announced at 4:50 when I was in line that they would be closing at 5 and they still had jerseys but the store was packed and it was being combed through. Lots of >L sizes relative to other stuff.

I have a sewn 16 blue but I'm looking for a sewn 16 white.

Will be in AA for the career fair.. Hopefully it continues for couple more days.. I am running out of my M gear
January 28th, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up, just got back, the store is getting run on pretty good, not much good stuff left and most of the good stuff left is xl or above but I found a couple steals, pretty excited.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
doesnt look like its extended to on line purchases. I see no big savings unless the mark it down at checkout. Does anybody know?
