Are there any stores stupid enough to match online prices?

[Tu13erhead]

Well?

EDIT: Electronics/computer stores.

 

[Drakkon]

sounddomain will match prices found on the net, they even matched an ebay store price for me once...

[blackdogdeek]

j&r matched a toshiba e310 and an antec plusview case from newegg or some other online vendor.

Home Depot does

With the right negociation skills, you can get most stores to match online pricing.

I've talked down Best Buy using Newegg/ZZF adverts, I've talked down B&N using Amazon, and Borders/Amazon using B&N.

Guitar Center matches pretty much any "legit" online retailer price...even Ebay retailers.

Staples Business Depot does it all the time for me.

Wow, props. I've been pretty unsuccessful at Best Buy.

Sears does, I price matched a DVD player to a home depot online price. Got it for 28 bucks plus a 10 dollar rebate a while back, works great.

 

[Tu13erhead]

Sweet. Looks like they're one of the few who does PM for online stuff.

They now match their own website. Dunno wtf they didn't do it in the first place

Also, Tiger Direct has retail stores (Florida & NC I believe?) so try to use that one against 'em.

Totally Awesome COmputers will price match...but you've got to deal with them telling you how crappy the part you're ordering is...

home depot sells dvd players?

 

[Bullhonkie]

I've had luck with Circuit City in the past. It's totally up to the manager though I believe, so it's a big YMMV.
