Harry Potter $12.99 @ CompUSA
 
Best price I've seen so far...

imp66 11-21-04 08:45 AM

Thanks for the pricing, but why not put all the CompUSA pricing in one thread, so we don't have to go to 4 different threads to see it?

imp66, to answer your question:

A) because the poster was only posting info about Harry Potter, not CompUSA.

B) not separating out the deal on HP means another place that someone searching for info on Azkaban has to look to find the best deal on that title.

I think this post would've been appropriate...IF it was in one of the 2 Azkaban threads that already exist:

Thread 1

Thread 2

The search is your friend.

BTW, the pricing knowledge is good, but doesn't appear in the CompUSA flyer. For those of us who like to PM to BB or CC, this doesn't work.

However, on the PM side, it appears that Harry Potter is also listed at $12.99 at the Good Guys as well and theirs does appear on their weekly flyer. ;)

It was in the CompUSA flyer that I saw, the top middle of page 2 I think.

Compusa's website shows it in being in the newspaper ad. I also notice that the sale ends on Tuesday 11/23. So it is only on sale for 1 day.

I was referring to the fact that he started 3 threads about CompUSA pricing....

Thread one
Thread two
...and this thread.

xpfshost 11-21-04 06:43 PM

imp66: I see your point. I didn't notice until later that he was making separate posts for different items in the same Compusa ad. No hard feelings intended.

Damn, I swear I looked at that ad like 4-5 times for it and didn't see it. But there it is...I must be going blind in my old age. ;)

it's pretty small. I missed it myself the first time I looked through the ad.

Why buy Harry Potter when you can get a great deal on Elf?

Evad 11-21-04 10:04 PM

LOL I didn't see it either until it was pointed out. Hope I can price match to Walmart.

Sweet Baby James 11-21-04 10:33 PM

Sign me up for Lens Crafter too. I couldn't find it until it was spelled out for me as to where to look. Thanks fizzix.:)

mekeez 11-22-04 02:38 AM

Jeez--I looked at page two and finally went to the website and then saw it. Stealth ad.

Will TRU price match from Compusa? I have a gift card at TRU that I want to use. I will check tonight to see if i have the ad.

TRU still PMs so they should PM it for you esp. since it's clearly marked at $12.99 and not Hot Price or Low Price or something like that.

Orbi-Wan Techno 11-22-04 04:59 PM

PM at the local military exchange tomorrow.

MvRojo 11-22-04 10:48 PM

I think I got The Sorcerer's Stone from them one Thanksgiving, but it was $9.99 and they didn't have any Widescreen.

ottolam 11-23-04 08:25 AM

Stopped by CompUSA this morning and picked one up. Thanks OP for the Info.

Lonestar9 11-23-04 12:09 PM

I got one also, and my friend got three....there were still over 40 left in the store after our purchase. I never did see this price on the ad, but i'm glad I read up on it here!! :)

squi23 11-23-04 12:12 PM

Nice deal.
Got myself 2, with plenty still left on the shelves.

Price on the package was $22.99.
No indication anywhere that today's price was $10 less.

Sure am glad I read this forum or I'd never have found this out.
Thanks!

dick_grayson 11-23-04 12:29 PM

Just picked up two (one for my mom). They were stickered at 22,, but a sign said 12.00 thru Friday. Good stuff. Thanks a lot , OP.

TexasDVDer 11-23-04 01:46 PM

I price matched at Walmart where they had a 5"x7" spiral bound blank notepad as a free premium. They didn't give me any static about CompUSA not including the notepad.

tjn007 11-23-04 02:21 PM

Can we say price match at Best Buy? Yes we can.
They didn't see it coming.
