Office Season 2 - $17.99 at Circuit City - Dead, back up to it's right price

[Roufuss]

Don't have alot of time, I know it's for $29.99 in the ad but it rings up $17.99 in store.

The shelf tag said $17.99.
The computer system said $17.99 (I couldn't find it, guy looked it up on his terminal and it came up $17.99)
The register said $17.99.
I paid for $17.99 for THE OFFICE SEASON 2 NEW RELEASE Today!

This SHOULD NOT be YMMV... hurry before CC fixs this!

I think they messed it up in their computer and put Season 2 at Season 1's price... this is a GREAT deal, it's MSRP is like $34.99 so it's 50% off!

[botticus]

Hot damn, I'll be there in an hour after my meeting.

[animemaniac14]

i might go do this then just sell it back on ebay :-D

[TheWallsAround]

Going to check it out now. I hope this is true.

[RAMSTORIA]

hmm, cant go until after work, but its worth checking it out. thanks op

*update* I was able to get it at 4pm out here in california, just in time for the girlfriends birthday, thanks again.

[doubledown]

Wow, nice deal....they must have screwed up since Season 1 is $17.99. We'll see.

[nazrad]

Just got back from CC and picked it up for $17.99.

[varsitygamer]

shiiiit, i'm trapped in class from 12:30-1:45... then i have a two hour window... wonder if i can get to CC and back. you sure it's not ymmv? like your store mis-priced them?

i need confirmation!

[nazrad]

I got mine from the store in Saugus MA for $17.99

[varsitygamer]

thanks for the confirmation.

shit shit shit, i hope they don't fix it before im out later.

either of you guys think you can get a receipt scan up here, just to help our case if they do correct it? if you don't want to or can't it's fine, just curious.

Thanks!

[starman9000]

anybody want to pick one up for me? I have paypal and can throw in a game or something for your time.

[TheWallsAround]

Also confirming that I just picked it up for $19.25 (with tax included) at the CC in Paramus, NJ

[Over easy]

CC hasn't open yet for me (that's what we get for living in the West Coast). Maybe I can check later when my brother has his appointment.

I suspect this will leak out to other sites soon...

[Santurio]

damn. Do they usually fix these things in the same day?

[botticus]

Scored for 17.99.

I curse the man for convincing me to spend $70, but praise him for saving me $12. What a twisted relationship.

[Roufuss]

damn. Do they usually fix these things in the same day?

Last time CC had an error or a glitch it took them 2 or so days to fix it... none of the employees knew it was a misprice at all, so I don't know how fast they will catch on.

When the guy looked it up in the computer, I saw him select the $17.99 Office and I asked him "You're looking for Office Season 2, right?" and he said "Yep, sure am".

When he took me to them, it had TWO price tags for $17.99... I thought I'd have to fight it at the register but sure enough, it scans in at $17.99. None of the employees there knew how much it should have been or even bothers to read their ads so what a hell of a score this is.

If you want it though, I really wouldn't wait around a few days and I'd go today.

It's just too bad they didn't miss up on something like Grey's Anatomy as well.

Like I said in another CC thread where they had an error, it was only a matter of time before they fucked up again, they do this on a regular basis.

What's more hilarious is the people who put out the $17.99 sale signs aren't even cross checking to make sure it's correct to the ad.

[ryanbph]

are we sure it is mispriced...over the past couple of wks when I have gone into cc, there prices have been cheaper on new releases, then the ad. For example I got lost for about $10 cheaper then listed, and got a movie for $4 less.

I'm pretty sure it's an error because Office Season 1 is $17.99 this week... someone or something must have crossed the two titles.

I mean, Office Season 2 is already the cheapest out of everyone at the ad price ($29.99), I don't know why CC would make it $12 cheaper and then not tell anyone, that would be some pretty shitty marketing. I'm going to go with an error somewhere, it's the only logical explanation.

[nazrad]

also it's still listed at 29.99 online

[Maklershed]

Uh oh .. the shit has hit the fan. Go out and by it now .....

You're on my list

[BigBen]

Picked one up at the Christiana Mall CC in Delaware :) Was just about to come here and post it!

[judyjudyjudy]

Blah, I want this. CC just opened. I don't know if I should bail work to go get this.

[Roufuss]

Blah, I want this. CC just opened. I don't know if I should bail work to go get this.

You'll regret if it the catch on by tonight and raise it back up.

Go for it ;)

Office is an EXCELLENT showand 22 episodes for $17.99 is a STEAL, considering Season 1 was around the same price and only had 6 episodes.

[Strell]

No go at mine.

I swear Roufuss, every damn CC deal you have? I never get in on.

Oh well, I picked up the S1/2 at BB.

[Roufuss]

No go at mine.

I swear Roufuss, every damn CC deal you have? I never get in on.

Oh well, I picked up the S1/2 at BB.

Huh... maybe they already fixed it? This shouldn't be YMMV since it was in their computer system at $17.99 and people across the US were getting in on it.

[Strell]

Well like I said, getting 1 + 2 at most places would run me 35 or so even with this deal, and since it was 43 for both sets over at BB with some funky little extras, no big loss.

[MrDemonicAngel]

maybe i'll check it out...

[crazynater]

Just got back. I picked it up for $17.99 - $3.00 Manufacture Coupon = $14.99. AMAZING DEAL!!!

[pscloud]

YES, someone please let us know if they fixed this yet...so I don't waist my time going during lunch :)

[judyjudyjudy]

Go for it ;)And that's just what I did :) It didn't look like it was close to being fixed, as it had the large sale tags stating it was $17.99. The season 1 sets were right next to them, but they just had some handwritten sales tag with no price on them. (The price tag said $22.99 for those.)

[El Gray]

Just picked up 2 of them at the Northpoint CC (Alpharetta, GA), leaving one on the shelf. I got there, asked the friendly media girl that's always there where it was, and she took me there, saying, "And... it's $17."

Thank you, cute media girl!

[Roufuss]

Sometimes I wonder how CC stays afloat.

Even when I worked at K-Mart, the shittiest of all retail stores, we were required to check the tags with the ad to make sure everything was in sync so something like this didn't happen.

My CC has been using alot of handwritten tags lately too... it's very sloppy, imo.

I'm glad though alot of people are getting in on this, I had to use the computer in my college's adminstration building to put up this deal, and I don't think accessing CAG would sit too well with them. But hey, some deals can't wait until later, right ;)

[judyjudyjudy]

Well like I said, getting 1 + 2 at most places would run me 35 or so even with this deal, and since it was 43 for both sets over at BB with some funky little extras, no big loss.btw, how were the extras? I was kinda curious about that since it included Season 1 (which I still don't have), but this deal was hard to pass on.

[Steggy]

i could care less... now if htey did that with greys anatomy... my gf would love u forever/.

[Lice]

Ok im going out to check... PLEASE work

[dafunkk12]

Confirmed in the Waterford Lakes CC in Orlando, FL about an hour and a half ago. Guy also hooked me up with a bunch of miscellaneous freebies from the drawer including a ticket for Beerfest. I forgot that there were supposed to be free cell phone games with purchase of The Office s2 at CC, but I think I've been in that store enough times today including my being there before class to buy SW.

Thanks for the heads-up!

[DV8]

Thanks for posting. I picked one up, they didn't have any tags or signs and it was on the bottom shelf. But it rang up as posted thanks alot

[BigHow]

Snagged a set for $17.99 at the CC in Irvine, CA - the one on Jamboree.

[Strell]

btw, how were the extras? I was kinda curious about that since it included Season 1 (which I still don't have), but this deal was hard to pass on.

Well they come in a big neat little cardboard box, which would make a nice storage space for small items. What I mean is that it won't fit on a media shelf too easily/well, but it would be a fun thing to put, say, memory cards in or something if you just have them loose.

There's two small paper notepads and a pen, so no big deal there. Then a magnet that says "Dwight K. Shrute, Asisstent to the Regional Manager." So that's kinda fun.

Then there's a small day planner sort of thing, and inside it is a bunch of funky little artwork and notes scribbled in that are pertinent to the show. So quotes from various characters, things like "LUNCH@HOOTERS," etc etc. So it's pretty cool.

I mean it's kind of like the Office Space thing (oddly and punnily enough). It's just kinda neat to have around. I'm a big fan of the show so I'm enjoying it.

I'd tell someone with S1, though, to get in on this deal, rather than go to BB for this little set. You know, for CAGness sake. :)

I'll try to take a picture or two later on.

[help1]

You COULDN'T care less.

[animemaniac14]

i picked it up...and the told the cashier about the price mistake...thinking i should've kept my mouth shut...but surprisingly..HE ARGUED WITH ME...saying ya we put it on sale like that...i continually argued with him but he was firm in his side...oh well, CC's loss. my gain through selling the last copy that was in stores on EBAY! wooooo

[Lice]

It worked... says 40 on the dvd itself but when it was rung up it was 17.99. Thanks for the head up roufuss

[pscloud]

Got mine too :) Foster City, CA.

But they actually have their copies of S2 on the shelf, with a tag displaying 17.99. So who knows...maybe CC wants to not advertise this and lose money on it...

[GrayWolf323]

I think I have to buy it at this price o_O

Just got back from my local CC and they had it marked 39.99, but rang up 17.99:bouncy:! Thanks OP!!!

[lericho]

still working in Columbus, OH... thanks OP :applause:

[Bankotsu]

I'll check it out tonight. Just got done with classes(9:30 - 4) and I'm about to go work out. I'll go there after dinner.

[munch]

Man, I really wish there was a Circuit City near me. This sucks.

[RedvsBlue]

I got mine. Thanks Roufuss! I'm a little bummed cause the plastic case that holds the DVDs is broken but oh well. Can't beat the deal.

[mcgavin27]

I would love to get in on this but I don't have a CC within a 100 miles.

NOT ONLY DO I WANT TO KILL THE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY ELSE; I SNATCHED THE LAST COPY TO SELL ON EBAY!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

You, sir, embody everything CAG stands for.

I'll just write that name in ink on my list

[Ndolger]

I really don't know what to make of you animemaniac14. I've stood idly by watching you make weird comments for months now. If you're not 14, how old are you then? 13?

[kevzik]

shit im going now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it rings up 17.99

[Kaijufan]

Great deal. Sadly my copy of The Office Season 2 hasn't shipped yet from DDD, which is odd since I usually get DVDs the day they come out from them (I got Stella Season 1 yesterday). I don't mind, as long as I get it before I finish watching Stella.

[Night Wolf]

Thanks OP! Just snagged one at the CC in Manchester, CT. There was a whole bunch and the faded sale price says $17.99.

[MGoBlue]

I wanted to buy this but I didn't want to pay $30 for it. I just got back from CC and it rang up at $17.99. Their shelf tag also said $17.99. Thanks.

[kevzik]

CONFIRMED! My CC even had it advertised at 17.99. Can this really be a price mistake? Anyway ROUFUS I LOVE YOU AND THANKS CAG! I now own my favorite show ever!

[nyprimus4]

Is this something that is only today you think? I want to go tomorrow.

[JokerCard]

Umm.....I deciding on wether I should pick this up or not....

I most likely will but probably cant til tomorrow...

[addicted2games]

I never even heard of this series and got one for this price after reading this thread. Cant beat that deal. Thanks OP.

[Stoneage]

I'll just write that name in ink on my list
Wait a minute. That's not your list. That's Richard Nixon's list, and you scratched out his name and wrote in yours.

Got 1 at the City of Circuits. Nice find.

[varsitygamer]

Thanks OP! Just snagged one at the CC in Manchester, CT. There was a whole bunch and the faded sale price says $17.99.

Weird! I was there picking one up at approximately 645ish! I was there with two of my buddies who also were picking up copies. we made the trek from UConn... totally worth it!

[JokerCard]

Ok, I read a lot of reviews for this dvd and the show and looks like im definetly making a pruchase and trip tomorrow after school.

[jcp4322]

hope this deal is still in effect tommrow, guess we shall see.

[Lice]

CONFIRMED! My CC even had it advertised at 17.99. Can this really be a price mistake?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/licemasta/CAG/receipt.jpg

Yeah. There is no way they can sell a $40 dvd the first day its out for less than half price when no other retailer comes close... All the movies are marked at 40 its just some dumb mistake that switched it with the first season... has to be..

[navi]

If I wasn't so tired from work right now I'd run over there and pick up a copy. I'll try to get it tomorrow after work.

[agapens]

I ran over to my circuit city based on this thread and had no luck. Actually, it rang up at 17.99 but she tried to overide it to 29.99. When I told her that other circuit cities were charging 17.99 she pointed to the circular and showed the 29.99 advertised price. End of argument. Apparently. I said no thanks and left.

[dastly75]

Waterford Lakes, Orlando is sold out of it. Apparently I wasn't the first person to ask them if they had it.

[CocheseUGA]

That would be interesting to watch, then trade in while the price is still high.

[javeryh]

Thanks! I got it for $17 on 86th and 2nd in NYC.

[evophile]

Thanks! I got it for $17 on 86th and 2nd in NYC.

Did they have a lot of copies left there? I didn't get a chance to make it to CC today. Hopefully this is still going on tommorow. Thanks!

[seebelow]

Managed to get one for $17.99. Thanks, OP!

[javeryh]

Did they have a lot of copies left there? I didn't get a chance to make it to CC today. Hopefully this is still going on tommorow. Thanks!

I don't know. There was probably only room on the rack to stack it 5 deep and after I took mine there were 2 left. I don't know if there were more in the back or anything...

[basketkase543]

I called my local store and they were out of stock. Damn.

[mj1108]

Got mine tonight at CC....they had only 3 copies left but no sign of them being $17.99. So I grabbed one and had a cashier do a price check...and sure enough, $17.99!

[Santurio]

I made it to CC after work and they had these new spiffy display racks and signage which looked really nice. They also seemed to have removed those old cardboard boxes they throw those cheap DVD's in and have new faux wood paneled carts. Anyway they had the tag up for The Office Season 2 at $17.99 but were sold out, so I went over to the BB down the street and had them PM it. Thanks for the deal Roufuss!!

[djinni]

Picked one up as well. I've never seen an episode, but can't miss out at this price.

[Kerig]

Picked mine up tonight for $1 at Circuit City :)

I signed up to their CC Credit Card, which lets you get any DVD/CD $19.99 or under for a buck. The C/S girl looked at it at first and said "no way, it's $39.99", but then I told her it was on sale for $17.99 and she was fine with it.

My Circuit City had about 10+ copies taking up 4 spaces on the endcap, each spot had a $17.99 pricetag printed up and showing it as Season 2. I didn't even see S1 anywhere.

BTW: I got a copy with the free CellPhone games promotion: it was just a sticker on the front that you open. It says:

DOWNLOAD NOW
From Games Menu
On Your Cell Phone
Text OFFICE to 32852

I have Alltel, so I have no clue what they're talking about, but I tried a normal text. It said invalid format or whatnot.

[Dranakin]

Yeah, no CC around here at all. Shame.

[Quigoni]

Whoops, wrong thread!! >.<

[kiyoshi67]

Thanks OP. Picked up the last one in Concord, CA, but they may get some more tomorrow.

[ch3zyp00fs]

holy shit.. i think i'm checking this out tomorrow.

[The Successful Dropout]

i'll be checking this out today after classes, hopefully it's still going on and hopefully it's still in stock...thanks OP

[espy605]

Hopefully I can still buy Flonkerton at this price tomorrow.

They aren't going to give out a raincheck on a mispriced item. Once corporate HQ finds out about this they will let all the stores know. I bet it's already dead.

So, has anyone picked this today? Any chance the sale will continue on through the week?

[The Successful Dropout]

i tried it at the CC in White Marsh, MD and it was $29.99

[seanw]

It's already changed in the system. Question is whether the tags are still up on the shelf ....

[seanw]

Yeah, that's how I got it for $18. It rang up $30, but there was a computer-printed Office Season 2 tag for $17.99. They called to have it removed after I left. (This also happened when I got the Indiana Jones trilogy at the same Circuit City.)

[espy605]

It's already changed in the system. Question is whether the tags are still up on the shelf ....

Noooooooooooooooooo.

[Burchamj]

would a reciept with it at 17.99 be enough to price match at say bestbuy or the such maybe?

[Sgt Grumbles]

Aw damn. I saw the price listed on the shelf at Circuit City on Tuesday as $17.99 but they were sold out (and at $17.99, I can see why). The store is in the process of remodeling so they barely had anything in stock as it was and evidently they don't allow you to do a rain check on DVDs. *sigh*

An employee told me that they should be getting more on Saturday and that the sale price would still be good then, but I guess if this error has already been corrected in the system I'm going to just go ahead and buy the Season 1 & 2 bundle at BB for $42.99.

[Santurio]

I don't know about now, but yesterday I just told the CSR at BB that CC had an in-store sale on the set they PM'd it.

He tried to look it up on the CC.com and all but I told him it wasn't advertised. I told him to call them and he tried but they wouldn't answer so he finally said he believed me and adjusted the price. I'm sure I was just extremely lucky but it didn't hurt.

Hmmm. I tried getting BB to PM it too, but they wouldn't do it because CC didn't have it in stock :cry:. I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue because the last time I PMed something at BB they didn't even bother to call, they just overrided the price with the competitor's price. ;)

[JokerCard]

Damn.....I went after school and didnt know the price changed..... :cry:

[phrmcst]

Was there when they opened today and the price had been corrected. Had them ring it up to be sure. No deal.

[phutu]

arggg it's 30 now why? the only show that i was willing to pay 30 for and CAG has succesfully stopped me from buying it hic. hope someone screws up again. LOL

[nyprimus4]

Saw like 5 copies and it was advertised (season 2) as 17.99. I bring it up and she rings me up as 34.99, I counter with "ummm I can't buy it for that price, you guys have it advertised over there as 17.99". She proceeds to check the most current CC flyer which she shoves in my face and it clearly states SEASON 1 ON SALE FOR 17.99 and SEASON 2 29.99. Luckily right before she shows me this she asks an employee to bring her the shelf advertisement. He brings it back after she shows me the flyer and it reads season 2 17.99 so she overrides it and mumbles to the guy that she is throwing out the shelf advertisement after I leave. I almost laughed like 3 times when he brought over the shelf ad, she was doubting me.

thanks CAG

[MrNEWZ]

Yes, the deal is dead. Ugh. Should have gone yesterday. :-(

[The Successful Dropout]

It's nice to see you again TSD, it's been a while since I've seen you on. There were actually tags up saying $17.99 for Season 2 printed up like the regular sales shelf tags.

Yeah, things are just now getting organized in my life again. I'm hoping to be a little less of a stranger around here. Thanks for noticing me. ;) On topic, that's weird for a price-mistake to actually be tagged.

[Burchamj]

i went to walmart tonight with my friend and his reciept from yesterday, and they price matched it for me :) and then i went to target and picked up South Park season 6 for 18.00. Great day.

[Roufuss]

Yeah, things are just now getting organized in my life again. I'm hoping to be a little less of a stranger around here. Thanks for noticing me. ;) On topic, that's weird for a price-mistake to actually be tagged.

Well, it was in their main computers at $17.99, so when they printed out the shelf tag, that's the price that printed out.
