Superdeal on Motorola TA250: $47 for two!

[fornax]

Staples lists them for $80 for a two-pack.
Take their flyer to Office Depot and do the
155% price match and voila -- you've got
yourself two TalkAbouts 250 for $47. I just
did it without a single peep from the OD
manager. OD has them for $7o each. They only
tried to push some extended warranty on me.

can i get scan of the ad?

 

[silent tone]

Hasn't OD pricematch policy been yanked?

dang, my local OD manager says she can't pricematch because they don't sell 2-packs. I asked if I can pm if I buy two, and she said no.
Edit:first she tried to play it off saying that their 250s are different because theirs don't say TA250

Same problem here in Los Angeles. OD says that since the single pack and two pack are different sku's, the pricematch does not apply. Tre bummer.

As far as I know, TA250s never came in two-packs, so they are
probably trying to bullsh** you. You may want to try this:
It seems that all Staples around here (Orange County) WILL
honor the 2 for $80 TA250s - they simply eat the second one.
OD has a statement in their flyer (or store?) that they'll
pricematch up to 7 days after the purchase. First, buy two
TA250s from OD. Go to Staples and buy two for $80. Take the
Staples receipt to OD, and show them that you can buy two
separate TA250 for $80. Then they can't weasel. Then return
the ones from Staples. I didn't have to do that, but it
should work, unless you have a really stubborn manager.

I just got two at the Orange location for $50.xx.

Darn Sales Tax.....LOL

Good Luck

what date was the staples ad???

 

[fornax]

It's in the Sunday papers. If you don't get one,
go to any Staples, they should have plenty of
flyers near the entrance or cash registers.

Went to several Staples stores nearby.... none of them have it in stock.... I doubt they figured out the mistake and hold all those not to sell...
