sorry if this isnt in the right area or not but i thought since it was dvd related might as well go here. anyways. im about to go to best buy, i bought the lost season 3 dvd set and just found out that there is a coupon for 10% off.

would i need to bring the recpeit and that coupon to get a price adjust or do i need to bring in the dvd set also.

you would need to return the set, then re-buy it, hardly worth the time and gas for 10%

Exactly what he said. If you really need money this bad that you're obsessed with getting the absolute cheapest price on a DVD, perhaps you should consider finding employment.

It would be sad if Lost S3 were to drop to $19.99 over a month after you do the re-buy.

I dont understand why being a complete prick to someone else on this site is worth the time of posting what you said.

Op- you can return and rebuy it with the ten percent off coupon yes, it must be within 30 days of purchase, and if it drops again, you can return it again and get the money back.

Good luck.

thanks for the info guys but i guess i got a complete and awesome customer support person instore. i showed the woman the coupon, and just brought the reciept and she said alright and took the 10% off. didnt need to rebuy or anything.

and ice2dragon, it doesnt bother me what others like bryan has to say that is in a negative tone. i just usualy ignore them. they usualy go away once they dont get the attention they get.

I wasn't trying to be a prick, I actually tried to help this guy earlier when he kept posting about using the 10% off cpn on Lost S3, just so he could save $3. WiiDSmoker, myself, and others would agree that $3 is not even worth the hassle of going all the way back to the store and standing in line at customer service, and I was simply trying to state the obvious. I used to be like you OP, I used to go back to BB every week to price match all the new releases when Fry's used to advertise lower prices on them, just so I could get back $1-$2. But then I realized that the prices on DVD's drop so quickly after they come out and it just seemed to become meaningless. I used to get pissed when I saw a lower advertised price on a DVD after the 30-day cutoff point for price matching, but now I try not to. Now, when I see a potential price-match that I can do or a cpn I can use, I think about it and try to decide if it's worth having to go to customer service. Personally, $3 wouldn't merit a trip back to BB and waiting in line, but I guess to the OP it does. I do feel a little down about losing the money, but I think about all the money I've lost on previous price-matches I couldn't do, and it doesn't seem to matter that much. Besides, there are other things in life you end up spending all your hard-earned money on such as insurance, gas, rent, taxes, utilities, that in the big picture, saving a few dollars really doesn't add up to much. But, it's your call, OP, and you were able to get what you wanted, so good for you.

Thank you for the support. And Ice2Dragon, that's really funny accusing someone of being a prick when you actually advertise being a prick to someone else on this site in your signature.
