Erdica Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Did I hear some where along the way that Amazon is suppose to price match items that stores have for BF items?? Best Buy has the Nabi 2 for $179 on BF. Just trying to make my attack plan.
riven3d Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 yes amazon does PM most of the store ads online, you just have to keep watch as they change them slowly
Erdica Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks! I will keep an eye on it....we have a lot of Amazon gc that we planned on using. I really don't want to stand in the Best Buy line.
riven3d Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I never go to the Best Buy on BF i order all my stuff online from them, this way i can earn the reward points, plus you wont get charged until it ships
mommy2twingles Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I am hoping they match the galaxy tab 2 at best buy. I never have luck ordering on best buys website and no way I will go stand in line
Erdica Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 I have my eye set on the Nabi 2. I need 2 of them. I was hoping someone would discount them even a little bit. Amazon still has them for $199 right now.
riven3d Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 How do you get them to price match? you cant, they will adjust their prices on their own, you just have to keep watching for them to be changed
bpr Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 How do you get them to price match?you cant, they will adjust their prices on their own, you just have to keep watching for them to be changedWell....not technically, but you can help. Find the product you want and scroll down to the 'Product Details.' There you will find 'tell us about a lower price?' Click that and fill in the information as best you can. Put the URL for the product from the site you want to match (if it's online). Start now! I usually fill it in for both Online and In-store.That way if others do it, by the time BF comes around, they might have enough inputs and change it. I do this ALL the time with blu-rays and on release day Amazon usually lowers it and you get a great deal (of course others are putting in the same info). 1

I'm hoping maybe Amazon might give me some good video game deals this year since I won't make it to WM for 8:00.
bpr Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah, Amazon gets pretty competitive (they hate to lose out on a sale). They will have some great deals on video games; just keep your eyes peeled.
Erdica Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 I hope so. Walmart has the Nabi 2 down to $129. That's a HUGE savings. Keeping my fingers crossed and eyes peeled!
angelic680 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I hope Amazon has some LED TV's this year!!
acrn131 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Has Amazon ever run a deal on their Kindles on BF in the past? I see where BB, Staples and one or two other stores are offering gift cards with Kindle purchases on BF and wonder if historically Amazon has ever done something like this to remain competitive that day. Thanks for any info!
Erdica Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 I thought I read some where that Amazon holds the rights to the Kindles and the pricing. So the other stores can't discount them but they can give gift cards. I don't remember seeing the Kindles come down in price on BF or Cyber Monday....they usually just stay the same. Maybe someone else can add more input....
riven3d Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 that is correct, which makes me wonder how TRU was able to do it yesterday
shopping4my3son Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Would it be possible for Amazon to offer a gift card with a Kindle like the other stores? I'd like to get 2 and buy them from Amazon but Best Buy does have the better deal. It was hard enough choosing a tablet it shouldn't be that hard picking a store. lol
bpr Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 that is correct, which makes me wonder how TRU was able to do it yesterdayI don't care how they did it; I got mine, lol.
peppysfireball Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) amazon sometimes puts old ones in their lightning deals, but never discounts their new models. I went on to order a Paperwhite just now and they are sold out until Dec 21. They are giving free 2 day delivery so estimated delivery is Dec 24. Thats too close for comfort for me Edited November 12, 2012 by peppysfireball
mommy2twingles Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I am hoping they match the Galaxy 2 Tablet but it appears Amazon as the seller has been out for a while. Hopefully they are just holding them back till next week.
momee2twins Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Amazon listed a bunch of BF sales prices today and one was the same tv that walmart has (60 inch vzio) for the same price as walmart.
mommy2twingles Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Amazon listed a bunch of BF sales prices today and one was the same tv that walmart has (60 inch vzio) for the same price as walmart. Where are these listed?
allshoppedout Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I never knew this, so say I enter info for a bluray player URL, and the black friday price, etc, should I write "black friday price" and I can enter this all now, days before BF ? Do I write the competitor (store's) name? Well....not technically, but you can help. Find the product you want and scroll down to the 'Product Details.' There you will find 'tell us about a lower price?' Click that and fill in the information as best you can. Put the URL for the product from the site you want to match (if it's online). Start now!

jaymacfla Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Before everyone gets too excited, you have to consider the likelyhood of ever getting the advertised item, which will be extremely low for hot items like the lightning deals. They literally sell out in seconds! People who do not camp are all chanting that The Amazon approach is a better way to get the item without waiting in line, but the reality is that they are making a very big mistake and will this will lead people down the wrong path of expectation and ultimate disappointment. Nothing beats a good gameplan where you put in your time to invest in a sure thing, rather than a 90 second keyboard flurry of button mashing frustration.
