i went to office depot looking for a computer desk, just looking around and i notice a linksys router for $70.00, after a while i couldn't get it for that price, so i put it back, then this router caught my eye. The price tag on the shelf showed $69.00 with a $40.00 Mail in rebate = $29.99, iam like saweet that's cool, i didn't really notice the router as much as the price, it was a 54 mbps wireless router by netgear <images below>. I get to the checkout, and the cashier rings it for for $99.99, iam like whoa, that's not what the shelf said, so i go and pull the tag off the shelf, and hand it to her. She looks at the barcodes, or something, and says that it was stacked wrong, and has no idea what price she should charge me, so she called for the manager, the manager comes down, and we fill him in on the situation, he asks me if the router was over this sticker, and i replied yes, and it was by the way, lol. he's like ok over ride it and give it to them for 69.99, ((saving 30.00)) the cashier rings it up and asks for 32.45. Iam like huh, but quickly caught it.
she basically turned the mail-in rebate into an instast rebate, in which the mail-in rebate had no effect on this particular router anyways. ((saving 70.00 )) i quickly paid for it and got the heck out of there.
