ean1879 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Available right now on Bestbuy.com for the same advertised price $499! However, upon further inspection, you can now get it for $467 at newegg.com a very highly respected internet retailer.
Brad Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Looking at the ad: http://www.officialblackfriday.com/aditempics/bestbuy/1862.jpg It does say "SAVE $120 INSTANTLY" but I can't make out what it says under the $499.99. It's possible that it says "Before Instant Savings" and the actual price is $379.99. JVC might not allow them to advertise it below the $499 (this has happened with previous BF ads for various manufacturers). So until we get a cleaner copy of the ad, it might be $499, or it might be $379 :)
ean1879 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 Great explanation Brad! I've noticed this technique in previous month's Best Buy ads. Cheers on the best BF site around!
stiltman Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 When you find out let us know asap. Thanks Brad.
u4eagirl2000 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Right now this item is on sale on BestBuy website for $449.99 when you click to see the sale price in cart!
cindyhartsell Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 We bought one of these and really like it. It was new on the market, but we really liked that we didn't have to buy anything to store the video on. It just made sense for our busy lives. I can't remember what we paid. It seems like there was a sale and coupon involved, so at the time it seemed like a good deal. This price looks great!
d56nut Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Talked to my neice's boyfriend this evening...he's a manager at Best Buy. He said the price on the JVC Hard Drive camcorder will be 379.00 after the instant savings. Also told me that there will be more black friday doorbusters than what "that ad that you got" shows. He said "It's not the final ad". He wouldn't say anymore than that. Told him he couldn't marry my neice if he didn't spill it but he didn't bite...LOL!!! Oh well, this is the camcorder hubby wants for our scuba diving trips so looks like I'll be headed to Best Buy for it. Oh, this item says that it will be available for the Friday AND Saturday sale. Is there any reason I need to be in the crazy line for this? Can I just go later in the day on Friday? Michelle
Mara Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Consumer reports gave that camcorder pretty crappy reviews. I'm tossed between the Sony Handycam at BB or going for the high end one at CC and knocking off $200 with the vonage thing Mara

Is this because it's a hard drive cam or because of this particular model only? Is the Sony a hard drive model as well? Thanks in advance for any tips.

Is the Sony a hard drive model as well? Thanks in advance for any tips.Sony is a DVD it tapes to mini dvds. I asked my dad and he said one issue to watch out for with the hard drives is a HD doesn't like being bumped plus when it goes you lose all the video on it. I did notice the HD ones didn't fair well in the ratings over all Mara
o_arlene Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The ad says $499 (Before Instant Savings) so will be $379 my question is if this camcorder is going to be available online??? anyone knows?
