On the RioVolt SP150: Since I've been shopping around for something like this, I decided to give it a try at my local CC. Bottom line, they gave me a $10.00 "price match" off the retail price. $24.11 AR. Works for me.
Details:
$59.99 - $10.00 (courtesy PM to JR.com) + $4.12 CA Tax - $30.00 MIR (expires today 10/11/03) = $24.11
The lady at the cash register initially told me that they don't PM Internet ads when I gave her a print out of the JR.com price. I told her that JR.com is also a catalog and B&M store. So she asked me if there was one locally. I said I didn't know, but I don't think so. She decided to call someone in the back and spoke to the guy for about 3 minutes. It sounded like the manager would have PM'd it if the price difference wasn't so big. After she hanged up, she told me they couldn't match it because it wasn't a local store ad, and the PM wouldn't take into account the S&H. I asked her if they could PM it to the price after S&H, at which point she gave in and said, "I can give you $10 off the in-store price." She didn't seem to be aware of the $30 rebate.
Not as good as getting it for $10 + tax AR, but I'm happy. Thanks for the post.

I'm not sure this would work very well. It will only work for people in NYC I would think because CC doesn't pricematch online prices.
