 PussyLiqour Member 'Pussy "Owner"' Level 7 Posts: 1,070 Submissions: 12  | So, I originally went to Best Buy to pick up my Heart Gold preorder, but I decided to bring 30 bucks to see what else I could get. While looking around, I found the 19.99 section for the PS3 and saw Red Faction: Guerrilla. Now this game is 40 dollars at Target, and I thought "What a bargain!" So, I bring it up to the cashier and it comes to 42. something. I tell her I found it back there, and expected rejection. But no, she goes back there, finds the other copies, and comes back. She takes off 20 dollars so it's 19.99 and I'm stunned. This has never happened before. I hand over my 30 dollars, and get 9 back, leaving the store with a smile on my face. On the way back, I decide to check out Goodwill. Perusing through the games, I see a plethora of awesome games for only 4 dollars each. I pick out Quake II and Delta Force 2, and once again, walk out a store happy. So, I just got 4 games for 30 dollars, and so far they're all awesome. What kind of bargains have you guys gotten lately? |

 Source421 Member 'hnnggg' Level 19 Posts: 1,308 Submissions: 38 | I recently went out for a fried breakfast. I asked the lady if she could remove the tomato, and she offered me a free extra hash brown in its place. Hash brown > tomato, so that's a bargain in my books  |

commandpromt Member 'N00b' Level 14 Posts: 638 Submissions: 32 | 2.69 for gas here in minnesota. Also I recently got a nice nikon d50 dslr from an associate for dirt cheap. He said it was broken, only thing needing repair was the power switch, and a new battery. So a $400 camera for around $60. Good deal in my books. |

 teh1337 Member Level 10 Posts: 2,358 | PL, if the price says 19.99 they HAVE to give it to you for that price, its law. Some bitch came into the store, grabbed a 2 liter of coke. Rang up as 1.99, but our sign said .99. I had to special promo out the difference. |

 m0rt Member 't(-_-t)' Level 6 Posts: 286 Submissions: 20 | about 3 years ago I got a ps3 (80gig) with 2 controllers, 4 games and a headset for $400. It was a facebook marketplace thing. the guy had just gotten it as a present from someone and was asking $500. I offered $450 he said OK. the day I went to pick it up he saw it was my birthday and said I could have it for $400. excellent deal. |

The games on the rack have no price marked on them, so they could have been from a different part of the store. The game actually was 39.99, but since the cashier found another copy there and no copy anywhere else, she only charged me 19.99, 20 dollars off what it should have been. |

teh1337 Member Level 10 Posts: 2,358 | The rack says games for 19.99. BY LAW, they have to give you the game for that price bro. Anything else would be false advertising. I know what you mean though, they could have put up a fight about it. |

Anything else would be false advertising. I know what you mean though, they could have put up a fight about it.That's not true. There is no federal consumer protection law that covers simple mistakes such as labeling an item with the wrong price. Some states have laws that require the retailer to sell it at the marked price, but most of them do not. See Best Buy $9.99 Flat Screen TV Sale: The Law on Advertised Prices |

PussyLiqour Member 'Pussy "Owner"' Level 7 Posts: 1,070 Submissions: 12 | And there's also the electronic database for their prices, which will know whether or not somebody put something in the 19.99 bin, just in that kind of occasion. |

teh1337 Member Level 10 Posts: 2,358 | Eh, that wouldnt be it. Lets say the price was good until yesterday. Well the idiots left the price tags up until today. obviously it'd be different in the DB |
