I have wanted this camera for almost 2 years now. And after seeing my cousin and his wife use it on their 2-month road trip across America, George wanted it too.
And let me say, this camera was meant to be ours!
We went to Best Buy on Friday night, with every intention to buy the camera. And online, it was $600. When we got to the store however, it was $699 and the lower price could not be honored since online does it's one thing.
You've Gotta Be Kidding.
So George and I hmm-and-hawed for a few minutes then we realize, there is an Open-Item sticker on a d3100 box in the locked case. So we strapped on our bargaining boots and go to town!
We asked the sales guy if they could come down on price. He went to ask his manager while we jumped on the iPhone to check prices at Target. Sure enough, it was $599.00 at Target, which is literally next door.
The sales guy comes back with 10% off. Not impressed, we ask him if they competitor price match: THEY DO!!! So the sales guy called over to Target to confirmed the price and gave it to us for $599.00.
SOLD.
Then, out-of-the-blue, George digs deep into his negotiation pocket (like the clothing references???) and say "Can we get the 10% off the competitive price?"
The sales guy leaves to ask his boss and comes back with a big, fat Y-E-S!
So we got this amazing camera for ... wait for it... $569.99!!!!
Why yes, that is a choir of angels you are hearing!
Like I said, that camera was meant to be ours.
Now, we just have to learn how to use it ... haha
So this morning we are walking, going to brunch then off to the park for a photo session :)
Happy Sunday everyone!
