Fugazi Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If anyone is interested in trying to make some pretty easy cash, Circuit City has a major price mistake in their store. The Sony RDR-VX500 DVDRECORDER/VCRis currently advertised in their weekly ad for $499.99, but if you go in store may be marked as $134.99. This was a corporate mistake, so as of this afternoon the deal was good around the nation, unless your local store caught it. It was not available online. I bought the entire stock at my local Circuit City, which was only four, but stand to make about $225 profit per unit off of ebay. Just thought some of you may be interested... it's worth a look.

ElectricitySucks Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 corporate mistake? more like sneaky corporate advertising. think about it...once it catches on, everyone will go down and buy one cause they'll think they're getting some huge discount. and maybe, they'll be those guys who will buy out the whole stock, and sell it on ebay or something and get some huge profit! both sides win. perfect advertising technique. its like putting up a "FOR SALE" sign. of course its for sail you fucking retards. its just there to get your attention to buy it. either thats the case, or i just felt like hearing myself talk. i think i just felt like hearing myself talk. fuck. whatever. but think about it......

Quoted post They're going like hotcakes on Ebay, and even better, you can just return them if you can't sell them, which isn't going to happen anyways.

Suppose I came in a pinch and needed cash fast, I could always return them to Circuit City... I'm sure they'd kiss me if I brought them back.
