I took a picture with my blackberry, you need to make sure you get a clear shot of the price tag. On the bottom left of the superstore tag is the UPC number for the product. Its the same on all of them so the girl at the counter could'nt say anyting. I also took the tag from supertore but did not need it.
I'm gonna go grab another today as a back up, at that price why not.

Not sure how fast you drive but it only takes a half hour from SuperStore in Duncan to Langford FS. I live in Victoria was up there doing the Cowichan Valley Wine Tour.
The manager came out when I was doing it because I had the UPC on the tag they could'nt dispute it. So I doubt Langford will still do the PM as they where pissed I got it for so cheap. I'm gonna try in town today after work.

I think this is some sort of price error. I was in RCSS and I saw this cable and I was tricked for a short time by a nearby cheap cable of $9.44 but the price for the Sony was $60 something and not so visible. Anyway if you got it than good for you.

How exactly does price matching work? I mean, how can you calculate the difference u get? @ times I feel cheated out of it by the company playing with the numbers.
Last time I price matched.
Regular price $79.99 On sale for $59.99
difference of $20. So price match + 10% discount on top of that = $22. Or only 2 dollars less.
So I bought it for $57.99+tax.....not really worth the hassle.
I thought it was supposed to be $59.99...10% of that = $53.99+tax.

10% of the difference. In this case, the difference is ~$60, so $6 off of $9.44

Now all I need is a deal on some extra sony controlers.

YMMV on PM since price is indicative of clearance (course, FS/BB staff likely aren't aware of that)

is this location wide?
i find RCSS clearance deals to be store-specific...
i've seen some stores have certain set of electronics w/ the "extra 25% off discount" sticker, while another store has the same discount sticker for other electronic items

YMMV to all Alberta locations.
Picked up 4 sets altogether since I posted in the previous thread. Using them all, and threw out my crappy $3 Ebay HDMI cables :lol:
----
Oh, on the last set I picked up, I asked the guy working in the electronics dept. what the cost of this set was. You know what he told me? $4.
$4 cost..... What a markup at Fshop and BBuy is charging on this cable set.
That's 94.28% margin... Or 1649.75% markup!!!

Try sonystyle.ca and apply for their Sony credit card. This has been offered in the past and now available again. Get 10,000 points equivalent to $100 on their web site after your first purchase of anything on the card.

I was gonna show her the receipt from OP but she said she wont take it cause it's not the original. I said I'll just give her the contractID she still said no.
I was gonna go back with the scan and tell her wtf does it say receipt scan doesnt work? Having the contractID is as good as having the receipt itself.
Too bad my netbook battery died or I wouldve given her a earful.

@OP - Shame on you for stealing that tag... THEFT THEFT THEFT...
Also, as MJM stated, price is indicative of clearance, .44 at the end, as well as the DNO on the tag, which stands for DO NOT ORDER.
As earlier stated, Chatham store had these on sale for this ages ago, and were OOS nearly instantly! They also had the 2 pack of USB cables for charging etc, for something like $4.44 or something. I didn't get a chance to PM at that time, but was able to get the duo pack of USB cords, but no go on the HDMI/USB combo. They are nice cables too... braided covers, and the USB are 10 ft long, not sure about the HDMI.
RCSS is the worst about their policies, won't confirm prices over the phone, or stock either... hell, they won't even PM any of their products, unless they are on the front page of THEIR flyer?

why? to keep RFDs unknown to BB/FS CSRs? lots of them already know, when i go in for a PM after finding out a price from RFD, many of them quote and ask if i got the info from RFD. And by the way the CSR was navigating through the webpage, you can tell hes been on here before.

it definitely sucks for us... but its a smart move corporately...
since people will start get denying pm's - they will be forced to buy it a superstore...
and in the event that its not for a pm - they will be forced to go the store which is a bonus for them as well...
definitely sucks for people who live in bigger cities without a superstore near by. here in Winnipeg theres a superstore everywhere.

why? to keep RFDs unknown to BB/FS CSRs? lots of them already know, when i go in for a PM after finding out a price from RFD, many of them quote and ask if i got the info from RFD. And by the way the CSR was navigating through the webpage, you can tell hes been on here before.
i'm not surprised some FS/BB CSRs know, but if MODs know about it, you've just made all your future PM opp.'s a lot harder (e.g. they find out a PM deal on RFD, and then they proceed to hide stock/drop prices)
-------
PM'ing using Superstore will soon be difficult at best
RCSS Corporate Policy to not give out prices over the phone (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=793814)
There customer service has gone downhill in the past year and down hill even faster now :lol: well I thought they wouldn't last when I came here, I guess the corporate bigwigs will switch the name over soon to T&TnA :lol:
i suppose you can still try PMing w/ receipts, but even then sometimes their receipts are so vague (item description) which makes PMing elsewhere a bit iffy....

The only time that I would not want a manager to surf RFD is when there's a price error

put the pics of the bestbuy receipt along with the pic of the price tag on my blackberry. Went to BestBuy at Bay/Dundas. Cashier spoke to his manager and they didn't do it because I didn't have a flyer. Cashier also said, new deals start on Friday so they can't price match for the receipt which would have supposedly been for last weeks deals.
YMMV, really depends on the CSR.

you dont have to have a flyer, most of the PMs i do i dont have flyer, if they say "advertised prices only" or something like that, you can say it was advertised...on the internet, PM policy doesnt necessarily say it has to be on a flyer just "advertised". Secondly, BB/FS sales start on fridays, not every single store sale starts on friday, for all you know this sale could last a month. They just automatically assumed it was a weekly sale and that it ended thursday. If you're planning on going back and attempting to PM again and explain what i just said, they'll probably call but if you make a big deal out of it they just might cave in and not bother. If they do call a store and its OOS or something make them call all the stores around your area, PM policy doesnt state anything about the limit of calls the CSR can make. They'll say "its their policy" to only allow up to X # of calls, just asked where in their policy it states that. Good luck!

No luck on my part with Richmond BB today.

Oh well. I think protosscraft just got really luck for someone in Van. Prob not gonna try anymore cuz the gas isn't worth it haha
Oh ya and the rep said that they don't price match receipts even if it's BB cuz they have to call to make sure there is stock for him to PM. The general sense I got is that Van superstores don't even carry the product hahaha which is pretty funny actually lol

thats bullcrap, did they give you a reason of not PMing the $14.99? Maybe write an angry email of not PMing even though they had it in stock and that the CSR wouldnt do it for some reason?

instead of guessing, just look at your physical RCSS flyer (or the one avail. online) and the fine print will indicate sale start/end dates
for RCSS west (AB/BC/SK), their sales have started on Sat. (and ended on Fri.) for a while now

I made that mistake once too, talk about screwing myself out of a deal... I pushed for the 10% on a deal, then while humming and hawing, they finally got through to the store they were checking with and confirmed no stock. Originally, they were on hold for like 10 minutes so they just gave up. CSR wasn't being a d*ck or anything, they just forgot, so when they called a manager to see how to do it, and that is when it all went downhill.

Interesting, because some fool walked into our Best Buy (guess which one!) with like three (said he "cleared them out") and then proceeded to ask us to price match for two more. After some arguing (we went to verify stock and the RCSS in coquitlam was sold out <duh, he bought the last three!>), but we agreed as we wanted him out of the store. He then proceeded to nag us into selling us our WHOLE inventory of them @ that price. Now call me unfair, but I think if you want one cable and we agree to it giving it to you at a steal price, that's fine, but why the hell do you want to buy out our entire inventory!

He then proceeded to nag us into selling us our WHOLE inventory of them @ that price. Now call me unfair, but I think if you want one cable and we agree to it giving it to you at a steal price, that's fine, but why the hell do you want to buy out our entire inventory!
LMAO!! Hoarder at its best!! Good work.
"cleared them out" then go check stock with you!! lol
What an idiot...atleast leave 1 behind at Superstore!! Too funny...

FFS, the last thing you want to do when PMing at FS/BB is to buy up the stock at the competitor...
geez this isn't rocket science

It's one of the locations in Coquitlam (who knows why they get two), at Lougheed Highway and Westwood.
thanks! i'll remember that for next time~

did you guys end up selling him all your inventory then? but i mean, no matter how bad the guy's nagging...it's reasonable if you guys don't PM if the original store doesn't even have it in stock...i would've told that guy to shove it up his ass if i see some messed up idiot trying to hoard everything. i hate hoarders. man i'd love to know your name haha. you would be a great CSR to deal with i bet =)
you've got to put these things in your hands.... they are built solid... the cable is some nice and thick material with an awesome lining...
definitely more durable and reliable than monoprice cables.
i'm sure they're quality built, but at the end of the day, it's still just a cable. i won't be feeling it after i put it in or until i need to replace it. besides, i treat my electronics with care, so unless it was a faulty unit, then it'll prob last a long time for me anyways. i still think that it's not worth it to pay 7x more for brand name.
Omg, I won't list location next time, hoarders at work again.
no kidding man...and not only are they hoarders, they're most likely guests. PLUS they are ruining RFD's image and killing all the deals for people who want to actually USE it!

I went to the superstore at dufferin and steeles in north york, and saw nothing. They were in the process of relining their shelves too.

I'm not CSR :) I just heard about it and then watched the guy nag to a manager... Obvs we didn't sell them to him.
And you don't need my name ;) All the people at BB are chill. I've worked at both FS and BB before, I don't know what the PM hate is all about :D Most cases, FS 003 and BB 958 will match your prices if it's within reason because we want to keep your business. Unless we lose money, any money is better than no money.

The superstore here on Joseph Howe, Halifax was all out of stock.
Tried price matching at Futureshop based on the pictures taken and the scan posted here. They denied.
When I insisted on the PM, they called Superstore and superstore denied even having that SKU on file! :)

based from my experience, people working at BB are more lenient and chilled. less questions asked for sure. whenever i deal with FS, it seems like they think i'm robbing them...lol. i guess in the sense when you say that unless you guys lose money then you won't sell it, so in this case, $4.xx for the sony HDMI and usb cable = not losing money? which means the $70 price tag is extremely overpriced then XD hahaha no need to answer me on that one lol
and i have no clue which stores you're referring to with the FS 003 and BB 958 =P

I could care less if BB/FS is losing money on legitmate PM. Pricemathing under FS/BB is a policy not a promotion. Don't mean to discriminate but I find female CSR are always more of a pain in the ars with everything (be it FS or BB)..unless of course they are a newb

We lost money selling those cables, which is why we didn't say SURE, take our entire stock!
003 and 958 are the Coquitlam FS and BB.

Coquitlam stores are easy to deal with.
It's the ones in Burnaby and Vancouver that's very difficult.
If it's the store policy, why they make it difficult and change bunch of rules that's not consistent with the store policy stated on their website and on their wall. I've spoken with managers who consistently change his/her story, and I had them to call the head office to prove to me that the "phantom condition" is new and now in effect. At the end they do the pm. But the whole shopping experience is just bad. Now I don't even bother giving them my business.
By experience, Richmond/Coq stores have good rep if a customer is polite and reasonable to begin with.
