I just came from WalMart few minutes ago with this Sanyo TV. I purchased it for $1098.00 + tax and tomorrow morning at 8 I'll be in store with my receipt to adjust the price a get the refund for the difference.

When I called WalMart yesterday they said that they have the tv in stock but will not sell it until Saturday. Well, today I wanted to go in and check how many they have and get the feel on how hard will it be to snag one tomorrow.
While I was there I talked to this nice young lady in electronics and asked her if they have the tv in stock and since she was so nice I figured I told her I would want to buy it and see what happens (the price listed was $1098)

She went and checked and came back and said they do not have any in the back but she will check one more spot where she knows they put the tvs sometimes . Low and behold she came back and said they have about six in stock and she's trying to get someone to help her take it down since they are stacked up very high somewhere in front of the store by bathroom supplies (go figure...I guess the managers put the there so noone can sell them before tomorrow)
Well I waited and waited while she was trying to get some help (of course when you try to do that at WalMart takes 10 times longer than at any other store)
I waited patiently.
She came back dissapointed that she cannot find anyone else to help her take it down....but she said she will page the Assistant Manager and he will take care of me. At that point I figured my chances of buying one just went from slim to none thinking the Manager will come and talk to me and explain that this particular tv cannot be sold until tomorrow.
I was wrong. He came and asked which tv I wanted and went and got it. Payed for it and stuck in my wife's Honda Accord's trunk half way sticking out strapped with a bunjee cord (beaware this is a big box...bigger that i thought).

I'm sure I will not have a problem adjusting the price with the receipt tomorrow morning.
So this way I avoid the fight to grab one tomorrow when I'm sure WalMart will by a madness.

Good luck to all that want to get one. I seriously think this is a great deal. (and trust me I know a good deal - got my current 37" LCD 720p Olevia for $450 last year)
Not to mention you can return the tv even after you have opened the box and used it for 90 days with no restocking fee (in case you find a better deal in the next 3 months). And this is confirmed by what their return policy says in store and by 2 employees I asked this morning including the Assistant Manager that got the tv for me.

This will replace my 37" 720p Olevia .

Total paid after I adjust the charges tomorrow:
$798 + 79 tax - 5% rewards (on Citi CashReturns) = $833.15 out the door for 46" 1080p. Not bad at all. I doubt it you will find much better on BF or Christmas.

Now off I go to hook it up.

Indeed - hook up: the real moment of truth. A deal is always great - even with the risk of getting shafted on the return trick - but I hqavent seen a Sanyo that looked good to me yet. Let us know how it performs.

I second this motion. I was going to do the same as I was reading the posts, but would rather wait until I heard so true FW deal getter testimonies.

That issue is typically found on CRT or backprojection screens. It is known as "overscan." I've never heard of it on an LCD, but perhaps there is a setting to turn it off.

what do you mean by price match ? he told you he will not adjust the receipt if the price went down in the meantime for an item that is 100% of the price returnable ?
it doesn't make sense if you think of it...you just return it then and re-buy it. simple. and if they won't let you return and re-buy just return it. no risk involved.

or you can go sit in line and battle and step on other people to get one.

Your price says 798 + 79 tax, but the OP says 898? Did you have another discount?

...

you already have a tv and just wants to get a bigger one? this is what's sinking america - buying more and bigger stuff, spending money to "save" money when there's acutally no savings...

whoa, easy buddy. first off I think you got the wrong thread and secondly your comment about someone who you don't know anyhting about is very judgemental.
fyi, this will be paid on a cc and the cc paid in full. I'm actually making money off of that plus the Olevia will be sold. does that make you feel better now?

jeez . who pissed in you cereal today, buddy ?

The PS3 with the $100.00 giftcard is now online if you don't wish to fight the crowds.

Sorry I can't directly link to the PS3 just copy and paste.

RE: WM


New manager 4 weeks ago....
New problem, no shopping carts... in the store.
This is in each of 5 visits I have made during the day since he took over.
Parking lot is loaded with them.
No one to go get them.

Yesterday, same.
A guy is sweeping the entrance area with a broom and dust pan.
I tell him, no carts in store
AGAIN.
He says one of the cart machines used to push them is broke, ok use the other one, he says no persons on duty who can use it.
I said OK, just go and get 5 or so at a time, as many as you can push.
His answer, thats not his job.
Unbelievable.

Agreed !
Why all stores do not use the Aldi concept is beyond me.
"Stick a quarter in the slot, get your cart."
"Return your cart, and get your quarter back"
"It works in my city"

I'm in line at WalMart posting this from my cellphone, can someone confirm that the PS3 with the $100 can be purchased already online?

I can see the page with my phone but I can't add it to my cart. Any help is much appreciated.
