Best Buy price matching
« on: May 18, 2009, 02:40:35 PM »
In the latest issue of 2600 there's an article where someone modified the prices on a web site, printed it out, and then was able to go into Best Buy and buy the item at the price. Can you really do price matching with online stores or is it just like Compusa and stores that have a brick and mortar equivalent?

If you have good haggling skills you can just make it up.

I think they might be trained to believe whatever customers say.

Wonder why I never thought of something like this. A few weeks ago I forgot to email a presentation to a professor, so I took a screen-cap of my sent emails, messed around with it in paint, printed it, and showed her. I told her you can't trust technology these days xD.

I'm sure this would work if you made it look all official, like check the option where it shows the site URL and time printed. I might try something like this this weekend.
