[quote name='FEGuy']It's simple, really: since it's out of stock at the other site, no one is selling it at that price. They won't cut into their own profit margins by matching a price no one else is currently selling at. It's just business; if they don't sell you that game at the discounted cost, eventually someone's gonna come up and buy it at the tagged price.[/QUOTE]
Actually no, its not so simple.
This is not a 59.99 new release. The fact this game has been discounted as low as 23.99 should raise a flag that the thousands (which BB has) of stock will soon be worth LESS than the 23.99 price. Most likely hit 19.99 very soon or just go on clearance or deal of the day.
I dont know how many times they have denied me a PM and then a little while later I get the same item either for the same price or CHEAPER from them. In the end, they are the ones that lose.
I can see your argument if the store has 2 in stock, or if the game came out last week, but if the manager sees they have 10 or more and the game is getting long in the tooth, they need to get rid of it while they can.
