So I was in Borders Books & Music today... ...and I asked about the "3121" posterboard that they had displayed aboved the CDs. About a month ago, I posted on the "Purpleneck" thread that a salesperson/hater told me I couldn't have it. So today I asked someone else. SHE was very accommodating! She told the same guy who told me no before to go get it down for me!
She told me to come back after a few weeks of displaying the "Planet Earth" board (if they receive one) and I could have that one too! (My 40th birthday party decorations are shaping up nicely! ) "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

you're lucky. borders (at least the local ones around here) has a nasty reputation for not giving away posters. | |

Woo hoo! Awesome for you chocolate! There is an gigantic vinyl Prince sticker on a light fixture at a Target store near my boyfriend's house, and I want it very badly. They told me to keep coming back to see if they were ready to change it with another picture. I hope that happens soon. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

She told me to come back after a few weeks of displaying the "Planet Earth" board (if they receive one) and I could have that one too! (My 40th birthday party decorations are shaping up nicely! ) Yes, "come back in a few weeks" are the exact same words a Borders employee told me back in the Musicology days. I wanted the posters that were on display for a person who is handicap and who is a big prince fan . She told me she will write my name and phone number on the back of the display and call me when it's ready to come down, I didn't believe her so I had her write down my information on the display in front of me which she did,then I would come in the store now and then to check to see if they were still there because I truly didn't believe that woman. Then she told me "oh it should be coming down in a couple days, but I will definitely call you", I waited and came a day early and they were gone and so was she. I came back several times later to tell her how she lied, but she hasn't been back since. I think she worked there just to get those posters So don't believe everything they say, they will always look out for the friends and family that are into Prince before they will give them to a outsider. just keeping it real.

No, but if U scroll back up, she mentioned "conveniently placing" a 3121 posterboard underneath her basket and walking out of WalMart with it. I just got this silly picture of her kicking and screaming like "Paris in Court" and being dragged with the poster in her cart! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing.
