if you know me, i'm a stickler for finding good deals. usually when i have my eye on something, i go on the internet and hunt down the best deals. and usually i'll check slickdeals.net and use google's product search to find good deals.
after buying my camera, i kinda felt like i coulda found it for a better price somewhere other than best buy. but, i had to get it from best buy because i got an sssss-load of gift cards that can in very handy. so yesterday i went back to best buy with a stack of 2 competitors online ads, a bestbuy.com ad, and a rewards zone coupon to see if i could wrestle my purchase price down.
i gave the first ad to the best buy customer service rep., the ad was an online deal from a local retailer, ace photo. previously in the day i called ace photo to see if they would honor their online price, strike 1, they didnt have the camera in stock. Strike 2, they work with amazon to run their online store, so it's not really their store. now, i knew i shouldn't have tried to get that price adjustment cause i knew that best buy had to call ace photo to make sure that the camera was in stock and that they were selling it for that price. but i had to test best buy, because sometimes you get a cool manager that doesnt bother to call and takes your word for it, though that's only happened once in my life. so he calls, out of stock, and no dice.
all good, i bust out my rewards zone coupon and ask the rep if i can use it, even though i purchased the camera almost a week and a half ago. i felt that this coupon wasnt going to fly since it had been awhile since the purchase. but i guess when he looked at my stack up papers and saw that i had two more ads to go, he went ahead and punched a few buttons and bam! $80.50 back to me! woot woot!
moral of the story, always look out for coupons and deals, even after you've bought whatever it is.
