I asked someone when they would be getting another shipment, as there were some titles they had advertised I had been checking for, but still hadn't seen any in stock in almost two weeks of checking. They said they would be getting one later that day, and to look again tomorrow. Back I went the next day, hoping they may finally have more stock out. Nope. It didn't even look like they had gotten anything new from the previous day. So I asked another clerk if they had in fact gotten a shipment the day before. He said yes, and when I explained the predicament to him, he actually looked in their system to see if they had any on hand. Turns out they showed they did, even though no product was on the floor. He said - "Give me a minute, I'll see if they're still out back"- then proceed to come back from the stock room with a copies of The Hulk and 40 Year Old Virgin in hand. Moral to the story - when in doubt, it pays to ask.

Sounds like you did the same thing although not as big a loss.

If you understand the whole story in regards to this price issue then you too would agree that they should honor it. For some reason 4 titles that already had a "CORRECT" shelf tag(SKU matches) on them of a price for $9.99 with a sale ends date of 1/28/12,but on the 1st day of the program they inexplicably get marked down to $9.75 essentially voiding them from the program I expect them to honor it since they left the tag out there. Moreso because the shelf tag preceded the drop in price. IF Best Buy had removed the tag then there would not be the opputunity to do the raise in price obviously.

I don't care if you got the deal but don't pretend you didn't know what you were doing.

They're welcome to steal for as long as they want, but one day it will come back at them and it will be glorious.

I really don't care whether someone agrees or disagrees on the points I make, only that the understand the intent of the posts.

I hope that wasn't to me. I wasn't talking about the 9.75 debacle. If they have the shelf tag for the correct movie out there and it is marked wrong then by all means. No one here was saying you are wrong for having them pm that so you can get it, hell even i had them do that once since the shelf said 9.99. I had to do that with Boyz in the Hood. That WAS their fault for not removing the incorrect pricing. The traffic thing was not their fault. I would have done exactly what you would have done on those 4, and did. They were kind of confused as I was probably the first person to ever ask them to RAISE a price on a movie.

What everyone had a problem with is someone earlier looking at the Traffic shelf tag that was obviously for the regular edition at 9.99 and then telling the rep that it was the criterion tag that said it was 9.99 and scamming them to get the traffic criterion for 10 bucks.

There was no price mistake, it was simply an item i the wrong spot which the store cannot control. IF the store had a tag in front that said 9.99 for the criterion with the correct sku of the criterion then it wouldn't be an issue, that is something they have direct control over.

I also agree that using a 3d coupon on a 2d coupon is coupon fraud and would never do it myself.

I don't know what you mean by doubling up on pms, as I'm not sure how you can pm something twice, but most stores have it clearly in their policy that you can use one store coupon AND one manufactures coupon per transaction. Both Best Buy and Target have that policy. So your examples are not even in the same ball park of what occurred with you.

There is nothing wrong with going with the price they have listed or using coupons as per their policy. You did NOT go with their price listed, their listed price was 29.99. You got it for the price of a different version, so again, not the same thing, even remotely.
