Guys, the OP's picture is taken from his phone, it is not photoshopped. Before you cry foul, try looking up the EXIF data. As others have said already, Sam's club does strange things with its clearance

I got my originally PSP for something like $100 because this one store in the middle of the boonies has a 1 day sale with a coupon for X% off. It took something like $100+ off a PSP when they were still well over $200.

I had given him the benefit of the doubt until he said "I'll do the receipt but it doesn't even seem worth it."

I know this seems a little far-fetched for some, but to put it into perspective, just in the last 2-3 weeks I've gotten a Burgundy DSi XL for $55.xx and the Limited Edition Gears of War 3 console for $155.xx at my local Sam's Club. Deals like this are always YMMV, but they definitely do happen.

I don't understand why everyone is so quick to assume people would just fabricate an incredible deal on something. What is there to gain? Some sort of CAG street cred? That being said, I know their are some weird people out there...

Also, I don't know why people jump all over this guy since there is an entire Kmart thread with crazy deals like this listed all the time. Every time I look at the Kmart thread I wonder why there aren't people crying foul on those deals...

I find that in life, there are no such things as incredible deals. If its too good to be true? it usually is.

Looks legit to me. If it is true, the op would not have a problem uploading a new picture of the price... right? or recipe (: but he hasn't, maybe he is photoshopping it as of now! (joking).

You must be new to the internet. Some people fabricate lies just to troll, I have seen it all over the damn place, it so prominent my old man knows what a troll is.

Its a legit Sam's Club Price Tag. Not photo shopped. All Sam's Club deals are very YMMV. I work there so i'll check out my store later today and post back tonight.

Those tags aren't used much. Namely for "Online" Merchandise that was ordered and returned in club.

I got one for $148.20 plus tax at my Sam's.

That's called a fake coupon that an inept associate fell for.

Nothing at the one in NW Austin. 2 First Editions for $28x.xx

You would think for someone to post a photoshopped deal, with nothing to gain from it, would be about 7 years old, and the same for users crying "lies!" about posted deals.

What does it matter? Hit up your Sam's Club, try it out. If it doesn't work, your wallet doesn't mind.

Eh, I haven't really seen it happen here too much. I don't really even see why people think someone would waste their time fabricating this price, it's not like people get kudos here or anything for their posts.

Just want to point out that just cause it was a phone pic doesnt really mean much, smart phones are broken!

Only 1 Sam's Club near me had them and sadly they wanted $298.81.

I'm pretty sure he photoshopped this and posted so he could flood the samsclub website with traffic of people checking stock and prices. Definitely using us CAGs to help him in this cyber attack.

Even after price checking?

What does it matter, you say? If you mean just call them to find out, you're right...your wallet doesn't mind. However, if you are implying going to the stores, like our unfortunate California friends have mentioned, gas is extremely expensive over there.

Originally Posted by Nochance Lol, there sure are a lot of morons on here. Have you guys ever actually seen a shopped pic? What about this one looks even remotely fake?

Not saying it is but im pretty sure you have seen pics that you thought were real but were photoshopped. It's not as easy as your lil myspace girlfriends make it seem.
