Today dh saw that they lowered the price on the PS3s, today I believe, by $100. He grabbed his receipt only to find out that the expiration on returns for his PS3 was YESTERDAY!
Anwyay, he told me today that he was going to go demand a price match or return. I wasn't very optimistic. "Good Luck," I thought. But he just called me and he said he got a $107 gift card (includes tax) for the difference. He said he was polite but insistent and they obliged. He will put in a good word for the lady who helped him. He said if it hadn't of worked he would have tried another Target later. But score one for Target customer service. It was nice they were willing to bend as he was only 1 day late. Woohoo.
Since we already have a $50 gift card in the mail (to arrive soon from credit card rewards) and kids' party is done, we decided we most likely will save it for kids clothes in the fall. They seem pretty set in every other way shape or form and nothing else I can think of we need. We have the $50 g.c. for sale items like laundry detergent, in the meantime.
Then again with $150 coming to us maybe it is time to revisit the purchase of a GPS. Something to think about. Though there is no hurry on that. We have been wanting to do some geocacheing, but I think it will be another year before LM is up to some of the hikes we want to do. Then again if we could get a decent GPS practically for free, we can start looking for some of the local cahces... Hmmmm..
It Pays to Ask

Although the news of the PS3 price cut has been circulating for a short while on the internet.... I guess it was making the rounds to drum up more business for Sony's flagging product.
I have nothing against anyone who plays console games, but I flatly refuse to get back into console gaming. It's just way too costly and time consuming for me. Would love to in a perfect world, but sadly, I don't live there.

A Lowe's hardware store employee once told me they have personal ability to change the price up to 10% with absolutely no management involvement.
I ALWAYS ask.

Boo - you are right. Why I wasn't so positive. Rules are rules - but I guess rules are made to be broken. Obviously he was at the whim of the supervisor on duty that day and he found one willing to bend the rules. I kind of wondered if the lady would of if he didn't have the baby with him - LOL. Women go gaga over that and it was a woman - hehe.
