alimfp Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 For instance, on the 64MB Lexar Secure Digital Memory Card, is there a max. # of them that you can buy? Are these usually listed in the BF ads? TIA. :) ~Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMelanie Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I don't know if there is a limit on that item, but if there are limits, they are almost always printed in the actual ads. Melanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as with most sales, if it appears that you are buying far more than "reasonable" they may reserve the right to limit your purchase. For example, don't try to buy 40 of them. Well, at least not at once. Keep going back and go to a different cashier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscript Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 The way they keep a limit on overzealous shoppers is by limiting the numbers of rebates per household. Us employees at Best Buy last year hand a grand ol' time laughing at all the overzealous and greedy shoppers walk out with 5 dvd players each who would only discover much later, possibly after it was too late, that the mail-in rebate that made them worthwhile was limited to one per household. That meant they'd be getting 1 cheap DVD player as the sale intended, and 4 crappy dvd players at full mark up price. So while you may feel like you're getting the best deal in the world by walking out with 40 pen drives or 10 dvd players, once you examine the fine print in the mail-in rebate forms you'll discover it was the store that got the profits. And if you don't notice the "one rebate per household" clause until after your rejection letters from the rebate people start coming in, you're going to be screwed out of a lot of money. As a general rule, for any store and any rebate, DO NOT get greedy and buy multiples of an item as for any great deal - like cheap laptops, free cds, etc. - there will likley be a 1 per household clause in the rebate form that prints out at the cashier.

alimfp Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Oh I've done rebates/couponing for years, I understand how that works. Certain deals at Target I'd like to get two or three of, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
