I have been looking at the Flip Video camera for some time now and noticed at Best Buy last week that they Flip Videowere on sale for about $149.00. I gave it a try at the store and I really liked the style and the simplicity of the camera. Well, I did not buy the Flip Video last week because I wanted research more about the camera online, read the reviews; last but not least do a little price comparison.

 

Best BuyYesterday, my husband and I drove to Best Buy again, not to buy the Flip Video but to look at cables for our television. I stopped by at the video counter to see if there was a change in price of the camera and to my revelation the price increased to $179.90. The sales associate walked up to me and asked if he could be of any help and I replied "yes, of course the Flip Video's price increased and I was asking if you would sell it to me for $149.00." He told me that he could not make that decision. I said, okay can I speak with the manager. After about ten minute wait, the manager came up to me and asked if there is anything he could do and I kindly replied if he could arrange to sell me the Flip Video for the sales price of last week, since I could get it online for a cheaper price. He took out the price tag from the shelf and walked away for a minute. When he came back, he gave the authorization to the sales associate to sell the Flip Video for the sales price.

 

By the way, where was my husband? I guess he felt a little embarrassed by my haggling and stayed away. I guess if you don't ask you will never find out. Give it a try - it sure made my day.

 

Here is my first video shoot with my Flip Video - Enjoy!

Petra~ You keep up the haggling girl because it does pay off. The flip video is the hot thing right now and I love the video of your dogs. They are beautiful. Have a great night and a wonderful weekend ahead.

Yes!  A past client asked me to go out and buy a car for them this week!  My reputation precedes me!  We did well!  We moved 4K off the sticker, got a $2500 rebate, and upped the trade in to $2500.  I'm from New York originally!  I never pay full price even when I buy a computer!
