BTC is having a sale- 30% on all Latex Weapons and Shields

2008-11-03T06:11:00.001-08:00

Short version - Blossom Trading Company is having a 30% off sale on all latex weapons and shields in our big "sell off the inventory" sale at the North Coast Nero November 7th game

Long version -
As many of you know, the Blossom Trading Company is a start up business and one of our groups of customers is LARP players...you know, you guys and girls.

Between the many things we stock and carry, latex weapons and shields is one of our favorites. But with the price of the Euro, we are just unable to continue to carry these at a reasonable price and have decided for focus on other items.

What does this mean to you? We've decided to sell off our remaining inventory and that means we are going to sell at break even or below prices. Which means you are gong to get great prices on our remaining latex swords, axes, daggers, and more.

What kind of sale?
All Latex Daggers, shields, swords, axes, daggers, maces and more will be 20% minimum
Want more savings? Get an additional 5% off if you know the secret word of the day, which is "bacon"!
Still not enough? Pre register for the NCN November 7th game and get another 5% off

So, a total of 30% off as we try to clear out our inventory. Time to get your Christmas shopping done...
