[quote name='JSweeney']During the CC $4.99 sale, I had WalMart do two PM's for product that they had that CC also had. They did two of them and were about to do a third when a manager came over and overrode the third one, since they were taking a $25 hit on one of them, and they had more of them on the shelf.
It wasn't a print ad I gave them, but CC did confirm it over the phone, so they ended up doing it on the two.
I would be shocked if Sears didnt have huge disclaimer notices up for this one, but we'll have to see how it goes. I'm sure they'll put it and say "We made a mistake". I know how this one will probably go down, so I'm not getting my hopes up. If I do get it, then great. If not, whoops, it was a mistake.
That's the healthy way to look at it, shrike...
many of the people in this thread are talking like it's an absolute, it's gonna happen, and they already have 3-4 copies of it sitting in thier bag.[/quote]
I learned many lessons during the CC sale, JSweeney, and one of them was huge-drop PM's tend not to happen, and when they do, give yourself a big gold star for pulling it off.
I was happy that Walmart did the PM's, two out of three was better than none, and I ended up finding the other one at another CC, so I was covered either way.
Stuff like this immediately makes me think "Whoops, we messed up". And for those, there's no point in getting stressed.
