Yesterday I went to Walmart to pick up some Green Tea and figured I might as well check out electronics to see if any good deals were going on.  I didnt find any video games that were cheap but as I was walking past the clearance section on the hook were about 40,  4000 Microsoft points.  The price...$11.00.  Knowing the price should be about $49.98.  Rather than exploiting a employees mistake too much I only purchased one for $11.00.  After I purchased it they called for a manager, I figure it was to change the price.

Especially at Wal Mart... a loss for Wal Mart is a victory for small business. A victory for small business is a victory for freedom.

Trust me.  I would have bought more.  I felt bad though because it was $50 and I was getting it for $11.  I wanted to walk out of the store with at least one in my hand.  I was worried that if I had bought 4, like I wanted to, I would not have been able to buy any.  I wish I would have purchased one more! :)

if its what the advertised price is , that is what they have to sell it to you for.  its company policy.  if its a screwup, they give it to you for that price and then change it right after that.

I know but when the product was on some Cellphone car charger hook.  I didn't want to take the chance.  O-well I am enjoying Shivering Isles, Uno, and my 1100 points waiting to be spent for $11.

Its always the instore workers that lose out though.

I worked in a petrol station(ESSO) a while back, outside was a rack of bunched flowers for purchase. It was outta view of stall but some kids and there mum knicked all the flowers and drove off. I man came in and told me but they had gone when I went out, with about £50 of flowers. Only flowers but at the end of the month I realised that the manager had docked the £50 off my wages. I argued about with them but to no avail since I was under 18 at the time and employees under the age of 18 in the UK have a hard time when it comes to work since are rights are so complex no one really knows whats right and whats not.

Thats kinda like what happened to me last year during all the sales after thanksgiving. They had one of those pamphlets in the newspapers they always hand out at that time for K mart and in the video game section they had the Gears of War Collectors edition under the "14.95" section. So i went down and picked it up at 14.95. The price behind the case was 69.95 so i swindled them out of 55 bucks Then they had to call the headquaters or something and tell sotres nationwide to put out a retraction of that item or something. Who cares, GoW collectors for 14.95

Communism?  If that were the case you wouldn't have small business or Wal-Mart.

Nice find.

You had 2 options:

1, buy one at a great deal and walk away happy and they are allowed to correct their mistake.

2, grab the entire lot, slap all 40 down on there and demand they sell them to you for the advertised price.  Possibly walk out of there with alot of money, or none at all.

You made the safer decision, although you will never know if you could have walked out of there with all 40 for $11 each. ;)

When I bought COD 3, the price tag under the game was for COD 2 and it was for $30.  The rule is that if they make that kind of mistake, you can just go for it and take advantage of it.  I showed them the price tag was wrong, and they called someone to change it, and I got COD 3 which was still new then and costed like 60, for half the price.

I'd have bought as many as possible, then sell the ones I don't like later and lose no money :)
