i want to do a pricematch at a B&M store. ie, BB, CC,Staples,etc. with an online store, ie. buy.com. both products are retail and stuff. but i was wondering if i would be able to do such a thing and is there anything about an extra 10%. like price guarantee %110. i think i heard people do this at BB and Staples. or something like it? thanks guys and gals.

BB and CC dont PM to WWW's. Wow, a lot of TLA's (two/three letter acronyms there)

staples is the only one that does, and they add in shipping as well as verify the vendor has it in stock

It has been recently discovered that walmart will do it as well (that is IF walmart carries what you need).

Walmart corporate policy is not to pricematch online but you may catch a manager in a good mood (yeah right!)

YMMV

best buy's online store does not pricematch? so it seems that it's either staples,omax,odepot or nothing. is that right? i'm pretty much just looking at a mouse that i want that's cheaper online but shipping is like $6 and would rather pay tax of 6%.
