I saw an ad in the paper this morning for a flat screen TV that I had been wanting to buy at Fry's. On sale for $1500 - a very good price (I know, $1500 is more than I wanted to spend, but this model had everything we wanted). So I go down to the store and the display is tagged $1750. I say to the sales clerk - I'm interested in this TV you had advertised for $1500. He says, no, that price was yesterday. I'm confused, so he shows me the advertisement - I was looking at the July 4 flyer on July 5 (I read the paper a day late). Then I ask him if he'll honor yesterday's price. His response: oh no, we could never do that! So we walk out. No effort made by the salesman to begin to work out a deal.
I guess there's enough people willing to spend $1750 on a TV that they can dismiss customers with cash in hand. Our current TV works fine, so I'm content to wait until the thing is down to $999 if that's what it takes to get a deal.
