I was helping a friend with an mp3 player purchase today. We went to a Future Shop and the player he wanted was listed at $30 more than what he had seen at another Future Shop store a mere 3km away. We had only gone to this particular store to see what colours were in stock. We asked them to check the price because we were sure it was $30 lower elsewhere. Their computer said it was $280. They also claimed the price we were thinking must have been for a cheaper model. Yeah - OK - whatever. So we went back to the other store. Sure enough, the model was indeed $250, so it was bought on the spot. Just goes to show you, sometimes you can get a better deal just by going to another store - the same Brand of store even!

'Cause you know - 30 bucks is 30 bucks.....
