HMV Boxing Week Sales

[desfunk]

I picked up the Aeon Flux tv series for $29.99 (after a 25% off sticker was on it for boxing day. it's original price was $39.99). I think that's the cheapest you can find that series after that deal.

I do agree with what alot of others have said though. They DID raise their prices beforehand on many things there. Then again, alot of their tv series are ridiculously priced anyway. There's the rare thing where their boxing day deals were quite good on though.

Did you show them their return policy listed right next to the cash register which says that they will price protect their merchandise from any competitor within 30 days of purchase? I saw it posted on dec 24th.

All I did was call them and they said no since they said HMV had a sale going on and it doesn't apply to sales. That is a cop out if you ask me. I went out and bought the CD at HMV and plan on returning the CD at Future Shop. It's only a $2.59 difference but I think their policy is crap, so I'm doing it more out of principle than anything else.

Has anyone been given that story by FS before? About not price matching on "sale" items? Most things in flyers ARE sales, for goodness sakes!

I would go in and demand a price match, now that would be doing something out of principle

Tried to buy Loney Tunes Golden Collection vol2 today for 25% off the white sticker price of 59.99$. The girl wouldn't let me because there was a yellow sticker on the front of 59.99$. She said: "I can't do it cause it's a sale price", I said, "It's the same price as the white sticker", she said" It's the sale price" I said " but's it's the same price!!" and she said "sale price!" and then I gave up and left.

I looked around a bit and there is almost nothing with only a white sticker. Seems more like a scam than a sale to me...

She seriously said that? Wow, that's messed. I would've lined up again and tried to get a diff cashier who made sense

Good point. I guess I am a bit weary on it as HMV's flyer does state "While quantities last" - the thing is that there are TONS of the CDs in store. Bleh. I would rather return it at FS just so they lose the sale. Or maybe I will call them again tomorrow and bicker with them.

anyone know if either Transformers or GI Joe cartoon box sets are on sale?

Kung Fu Hustle is 2/30. AWSOME FLICK. I can't see how anybody can't really really enjoy it.

picked up lots of stuff on boxing day at hillcrest... family guy season 1 and 2 for 20 bucks is a great price, also picked up the matrix boxset for 52.99 (price error should be 55.99) and there was also 25% on the boxset, couldn't find any $20 set from costco, oh well, pretty good price

also got some dvds and cds
