Remaindered Moleskine Daily Planners

[El Mocho]

Last December I bought a Large Moleskine Daily Planner-- one day per page, also useful as a diary, as they say-- and never used the thing. This year, I got the smaller sized one, hoping its portability would encourage me to use it more.

 

I plan to use last year's as a diary, disregarding the dates on the pages entirely. It has more pages than a regular large lined journal, and also has the address book that could be useful.

 

Since it's a planner, and pretty date-specific, these things have got to go on remainder somewhere-- or at least on a steep discount. Has anyone ever found them this way? I know Barnes & Noble goes into Clearance mode for such things in January, but I've only seen these at Borders and online. If I could pick up one or two, even with the wrong dates, they would serve me just as well as journals.

 

(I was going to convert to the Moleskine-style journals by Markings (C.R. Gibson), but have run afoul of the paper that doesn't permit some inks inside. Bulletproof inks seem to work, but more watery ones-- regular Noodler's colors, even Waterman Florida Blue (!) bead on that one. It looks like Moleskine for now. Their paper is unpredictable, but at least accepts the ink.)

 

Thanks!

I saw them today going for £1 (that's one UK popund, a bit less than USD 2). It was at Books Etc. in Canary Wharf, London. It is a closing down sale though - but the normal Moleskines do not have any . I think they are owned by Borders, who may be a US chain, so there may be some there? Good luck!

Sounds to me like you need to buy a couple coffees for the store managers in your town. I have a friend who manages a B&N, I'll try to ask her next time I hear from her.

 

Typically, all calendars go on clearance right around Christmas in my neck of the woods. It wouldn't hurt to know where they are carried and keep an eye on things.

Yep I bought two of them at B&N's discount and it was great- I was looking for more but they only had 2

Christmas time and the new year sales here in the UK. Or closing down sales are always great to snap up a bargain.
