Deal on AF 360...Blew my mind!

Guess what?????

Today I was in circuit city and saw a Pentax AF-360 in the display case. I didn't plan on purchasing it, I just wanted to know if the price was the same as it was a few months ago. Surely I was expecting him to say 115.00 but I thought he said 133.96 so I said, no thank you, being that 133.96 is a good price but I will get it later. He said no mam, I said 33.96(he said it slowly this time to make sure I understood). I said, Huh? what? and he repeated to reassure me. I said ok, I'll take it. I ran to check out just in case it was in error and change their minds and found the real price. Check out rang up 33.96 with tax it was 37 and change. I ran out of circuit city feeling like OMG, thank you Jesus. I am so excited! Just wanted to let you guys know to check CC in your area to see if it will ring up the same. It should in the TN & MS area for sure.

Go back and buy the entire inventory!!!! Pop them on Ebay for a BIN of $139.99 and make a killing. That has got to be an error in their computer and I'm sure will be corrected very quickly! Oh get me one since we don't have CC up here

Such a great business opportunity!

I got bargains like that in Target which has been poorly regulated and managed. Good for the customers.

About a month ago I got one at the local Circuit City for $26. I was "open box" but complete, case, manual, etc included. There clearly had it in stock for a long time - the manual did not even mention the K10d yet alone the K20d. I had to download PDF of the current model from Pentax

Congrats Meredith.

That reminded me of an IKEA tv commercial where a woman rushes out of the store with a buggy-full of stuff, gets in the car whilst quickly telling the driver to "start the car, start the car".

Hehehehe.

LOL, yea that's just how I felt.

Thanks everyone.

Shaloot 80 is a good deal for a 360.

CC online sold them for under $100 a few months ago, so no surprise that you lucked into one. In fact, I checked a couple of stores a while back to see if I could find one to use off camera. I know people diss the 360, but for that price, it's a steal!

Arrrgg! I went into handfuls CCs in NYC over the weekend and when I mentioned the AF 360 they all looked at me like I was a martian.

Yeah, that's a typical response. If you know where to look, you can sometimes find it yourself and show them. "Look, I want to buy that box right there."
