Weekly RoundUp 1/20 (Dave's Vacation - Week #3) (1 Viewer)

[David Lambert]

Well, I succesfuly grabbed Punk'd this morning for $15.18 at Wal-Mart, and bought some cereal while I was there!

 

[Bleddyn Williams]

Circuitcity.com price on Open Range now up to $19.99. Looks like an error. Well done to those who got in!

 

[Scott_J]

Hmmm...that's odd. I can, however, confirm the $16.99 price at the Crossgates FYE here in Albany, as I bought it there for that price.

 

[David_Jr]

Both FYE stores I visited had a stack of the sale flyers right as you enter the store. The flyer I have in my grubby little paws lists locations in MA, NH, NY, CT & PA on the back. Wish I could be more helpful.

 

[Jeff D]

Just FYI: Fry's is $14.99 for Once Upon A Time in Mexico

 

[Scott_J]

I stopped by FYE again today to check out the sale (I work in the same mall as FYE, so it's not out of the way at all). Interestingly, the A.I.'s there all had a sale sticker of $14.99 except one, which had a $9.99 sticker. $9.99 is the advertised price for it in the flyer. I didn't ask the cashier to check the price on it, but I'm thinking that even if an item in the flyer doesn't have a price sticker on it or an incorrect sale sticker, it may still ring up the sale price. The Shawn Michaels DVD, which is supposedly on sale for $16.99 didn't have a sale sticker on it at all. But obviously YMMV and since the sale ends tomorrow anyways, this is pretty much a moot argument, I'm sure.

Scott: I know this has been brought up a million times before...but we're gonna have to start wearing HTF lapel pins or baseball hats or something. I KNOW we've probably been in the DVD sections of BestBuy or FYE at the same time and just didn't know it.

 

[Malcolm R]

There was a suggestion once that upon entering Best Buy or other large electronics/video store, HTF members should loudly announce:

Yo Yo Yo!!! HTF in 'da hizzouse y'all!!

but it never seemed to catch on.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Gee. I missed that proposal.

Is it too late to vote?

I'm in favor.

 

[Scott_J]

LOL, Mike. Ever shop at the Crossgates CVS?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Where else would anyone buy their pre-movie candy?

 

[David Lambert]

Hell, if any HTF member is ever in a Memphis store that sells DVDs, particularly in the south part of town, just ask any salesperson if David Lambert is present in the store at the moment. Half of them will look at you like you're nuts. The other half will cheerfully point me out if I'm there.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Well, there's that and the fact that your Weekly RoundUp mug shot is posted in the back room at every BestBuy on the Atlantic seaboard along with pix of Malcolm and I....

 

[David Lambert]

In fact, I'm wearing that shirt right now!

 

[Scott_J]

Don't I know it. I work there, so if you ever go there and see someone wearing a nametag that says "Scott," that's me. On the weekends, literally at least half of our business is from movie candy.

 

[Patrick Sun]

David, I hope you're wearing more than just that shirt...

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I am so much in favor of doing this, of course the nearest Best Buy is like 3 hours away from me, and given that most of my DVD buying is done at a B&M where I'm on a first name basis with the owner he'd probably admonish me for disturbing his customers or something.

 

[Jason Merrick]

Sorry, didn't have time to read all of the posts to see if this has been mentioned, but Fry's Electronics has Open Range on sale Wed/Thurs only for $16.99.

 

[Ernesto.Morin]

One note, not every Wal-Mart is selling Open Range at the 15 dollar price. I just went to my local one and the are selling it for 19.99. I will have to check out another store to see if I can find it lower.

 

[Malcolm R]

Yep, every Wal-Mart store sets their own independent prices. Even stores in the same metropolitan area will have different prices.
