Confirm! It was a wrong Tag.
At BestBuy store.
$200 - $50 instance rebate = $150
Good until Jan 27.
Review.
After reading few replies, I called the store to confirm and the guy name Shawn quoted me for $150 after instance rebate. I asked if it the All In wonder Radeon 7500 and he said yes. I drove to store and the story just as Daniel decribed below. The guys quote me appologies for the mistake.
Edit.
Danield is right.
Has anyone actually purchased this?
I stopped at the local best buy (Salem, NH)
There was on AIW 7500 on the shelf. Sign under it said 199 - 50 instant rebate = $149
I took it up to the register... rang up 199. I told the kid that it was supposed to be 149 after $50 instant rebate. He shut down his register and walked over to the shelf with me. The sign was for the 7500, not the AIW 7500. There was no sign anywhere for the AIW. He passed me off to the douchebags that work in the computer department. They said it's probably $300. I explained that the MSRP is 199, so if there's a rebnate, then 149 is right. Eventually they were able to pull it up on their computer. According to Bestbuy, the MSRP is $249. It has a $50 instant rebate, hence the $199 price. I argued with them and the industry price is 199, the kid says "maybe they sell it on their own web site for that, but the market price is 249"
I told them I thought it was pretty sleazy to put the thing on the shelf with the wrong price. The reponse was "it's not our fault if there's no sign for it."
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
