Brand New Zune at a discounted price

jjclownyseed2008 · 02-17-2008, 01:39 PM

So i had a very cheap 40 dollar mp3 player that was really bad so i started to save up for a zune. I had 100 dollars saved up and needed 200 and something dollars to buy one. So then i noticed an add for a zune at radioshack for $99.99 for Black Friday( Day after thanksgiving sale). So i got to radioshack three days before the sale and the man tells me that they only have two left so that i should get out their early. I woke up at six in the morning walked all the way across town an too my surprise their is a line of about fifteen people outside of radioshack. So i keep going with my ad to Shopko knowing that i would not get a zune at radioshack. I get to Shopko, just get back to the electronics and grab the last Zune they have. Shopko has an add match rule( "We will match the product of any store plus 10 percent off as long as they are within 5 miles and have the item in stock") Luckily radioshack did not open until seven and Shopko opened at 6:00, so it is only logical that they had it in stock. SO they ring up my Zune and it comes up to like $93.00. The best part, i was an employee of Shopko at the time so i got a 15% discount, so i got a brand new 30 gig Zune for about $80.00. My managers were not very happy since the zunes were selling for $250.00 and that i jipped them out of all that money.

yeah, I remember I got mine for like 130 on Amazon, it was right after they announced the new Zune 80's and I took advantage of it. Good story, which it hapenned to me.

Gregory · 02-17-2008, 02:05 PM

Pretty sweet. The managers should have been just fine with it, if thats their polocy.

Nurta · 02-17-2008, 02:06 PM

Gotta love cheap zunes and good deals.

Heh, at first I thought I had to move this to Zune Deals by the title.

nathanlawliet · 02-17-2008, 02:08 PM

Wow, nice job dude. That's about the cheapest I've ever seen a Zune 30 sell for

liljohns16 · 02-17-2008, 02:12 PM

atta boy whalen!

MajerPayne · 02-17-2008, 02:13 PM

Very nice job dude.
And if your managers dont like it, then maybe they should change their policy.

Jon · 02-17-2008, 03:52 PM

Congrats, I got my Zune for $100 on Amazon when it first came out. Some kind of Contest I think.

runtohell121 · 02-17-2008, 03:56 PM

nice

good job getting the zune 30 for that low price lolz.. at least the store you went to accepted the black friday deal offers for price match?

Shann · 02-26-2008, 01:02 AM

cool deal, they had the brown zune at toys r us on sale for $79.99 on black friday, I checked their website on thanksgiving and they had them all ready at that price, we had to pay shipping but with tax and all it came out at $80 for a zune and we didn't have to get up early for it.

I did try to get one at Radio Shack for my mom and apparantly unless it was a mall store, they didn't carry them

needless to say I was one unhappy person b/c I stood in line, second one there only to find this out... stupid Radio Shack

mistuhsmileylol · 03-02-2008, 07:44 PM

ramz09 · 03-03-2008, 02:30 AM

You, sir, are my hero.

piratenetradio · 03-05-2008, 01:14 AM

nice, i didn't think to check after-thanksgiving sales. I just got it from amazon, and with some credit card shiv it came down to 50 from the 100 or so price of brown 30 gb zunes.

charmed61 · 03-15-2008, 09:08 PM

Gregory · 03-16-2008, 06:10 AM
