Sam's Club

A few months ago these things were $99. Now they are $35.

I just checked and according to the Sams Club in my area it is $79.81. If you can get it for $35 you better get it. I still have not put the one on that I bought from Geeks.com.

My zip code produces this:
Item Not Available
Did you walk in the door or see it on-line?

And I show the same price that Paul mentioned when I used the Sam's in Green Bay, Wisco
Pick Up: $79.81
Club #8149

So if you are willing to pick up and ship to your loyal friends at the $35.00 discount price...

Still not bad looks like the monitor is a good size.

I just went to my Sam's Club. They had plenty in stock and the price was indeed $35.

The only problem with picking up some and mailing to you guys, they are heavy. Shipping would probably be $10.00 minimum, maybe $15.00 maximum.

I would suggest you guys punch in zip code 22901, print out the $35.00 price and try to make your local Sam's Clubs honor that price. It's just plain wrong they have them priced so differently everywhere! I bet most Sam's Club managers would honor the $35 price.

On hold right now, your local store doesn't ship and Sam's Club does NOT price match in their chain.
My plan is to at least yank their chain over this.

Sheesh, more drama than I needed but they are going to do it.
I talked to the manager of my local store after the national customer service people said no. My guy explained that this is something they don't ordinarily do but blah blah blah. He decided to go with good customer service and bring this item in for me.
Oh, and Sheriff, I was only kidding about you picking it up for me...unless I couldn't have gotten it here for the same price!!!
Thanks for the head's up Sheriff.

You're welcome, guys!

I can't imagine any competent Sam's manager refusing to honor the lowest price.
Sometimes you just have to jack them up against the wall and tell them a thing or two.

They have plenty. As soon as she enters door, first isle, walk past TV display, go halfway down the isle. They're not in the auto/tire section.

The monitor alone is worth $35 easily. You can feed other applications into it.

My wife is going to Sams today if you want her to pick up one (or a few) for you. I can meet you in town this weekend to hand them over if you want.

Wife bought one for me for Christmas. I can say that it works excellent. The only problem is the monitor is so big. Right now I use the straps that came with it and attach to sun visor. I remove it when not towing the TT. Only use it for hitching up. Might buy another at this price.
