WAP11 Access Point $4.99!! Best Buy YMMV

Certain Best Buy's have the Linksys WAP11 access point for $4.99 clearanced out. Not all of them do, and I have no idea what logic they had in pricing them the way they do. I looked it up in the system and about half the stores here have it at 4.99 and half still have it at 53.99. Not a bad deal to set up a cheap bridge for an Xbox or PS2. Yeah it's old but hey, five bucks? I saw one go out the door and thought 'man that'd make xbox so easy....'

Oops... forgot to mention its clearance, so if its not at your local store, have them look it up in the system and they can show stock for the whole district. I saw some stores have it priced at like $53, and if you ask them nicely, they might transfer it over to a store that has it priced for $5.
 
I'll be looking for more stuff like this when I go in... like the $499 420GR Gateway... man I shoulda had that OP hehehehe, i just wasnt in the mindset that it was a 'hot deal' 🙂 Well im off to see if there are any more great hidden deals.....muahaha
 
I need one of these BAD. I just called my 2nd store, no go.. and nobody is willing to look anything up for me. In fact, he told me they couldn't look it up if it was clearance. Nice find OP.

It is on the shelf for 4.99. In fact I have a price sign here in my hand thats only about 3 hours old (i had them print it just for me hehe). It is not necessarily 'clearance' but rather 'deleted' it skipped the clearance stage. I went to Office Depot and tried to PM... the stupid B of a manager they sent me to was the rudest CSR I've ever dealt with. It was like she was actively trying to be negative to me. Ah well guess I can go to another store and leave the ones in my store for everyone else...
 
All gone at the Tacoma WA location. didn't even have a shelf spot for them anymore
Yes, I looked around for a possible "clearance shelf" -- no luck.
 
Yea, don't waste your time at the Worcester, MA (Greendale Mall) or Marlborough, MA (near Solomon Pond Mall) locations either. Hit both up on the way home today. None on the shelf, no clearance endcaps in sight.

Can anyone confirm the BB SKU for the WAP11? Bestbuy.com doesn't show it as a valid product anymore, which is how the associate tried to find more info.
 
Utica, MI had one but it came up clearance priced at $51.99. The "know it all csr" said BB would never sell it for $4.99 because they would lose money. I politely agreed and left.
