Soundsaround is going out of business. Below cost TVs as long as you are okay with possibly picking up a floor model.

I have a friend who works for FS and I know the manager at Visions on 32nd If you are intrested send me a PM. They will give you Cost + 5% to 10%. Depends on howmuch you are spending.

If any Futureshop/BB employees are reading this thread, can anyone tell me what cost is on a Canon s100 camera?

Just so I have some room to grind my local guy a bit.

Yeah but I doubt they put the real cost for employees to look at (for obvious reasons).

I used to work at bb and they do, that is the cost that they pay. The managers will use that number when making a deal.

Cool if it's true. I just know at certain big box stores, even the managers don't get to see what the true cost is for a lot of items, so they can use that number to make a deal, but even they don't know the true cost. Either that or they use that number to make customers think they are getting Cost + 5%, etc.

[slammedfc]

i need a new tv aswell! some one hook me up!

[Supa Dexta]

I'm here for the free TV's... :dunno:

It's not the actual cost. There is still a bunch of mark up on it.

Nobody except for the actual purchasers (and anyone who needs to be privy to that information) actually knows the true cost.

Keeping that in mind, any FS or BB purchasers on Beyond?

[JZS_147]

You also hardly get discounts on TVs cuz they're so close to cost. If you want a real deal come in BB and get an open box TV, say you've been told you get an additional $50 or something off and they'll usually do it.

Well what I mean is that the Cost "#" that you see isn't the actual cost of the product. It still has some mark up on it, as Spoons was pointing out. It's the same at the place I work at.

I believe you when you say you are getting that Cost "#" + 5% though.

I couldn't think of what electronics retailer was in Canyon Meadows and there's definitely not a Future Shop.

Does Gorby work weekends? I'm looking at either a 46" or 55" Samsung or Sony LED if anyone has any advice or opinions about them.

He works everyday but Tueaday. Go talk to him, he's a good guy to give you the info you're looking for. Again, you can tell him Paul sent you. But apparently everyone knows him

Indeed this is true. The "cost" on the screens is still cost+some markup. And BB/futureshop employees should know this because sometimes items go on sale for less than that "cost" price. I bought my TV under that cost shown on the computer, it was cheaper to buy it regular on sale rather than through an employee discount.
