Dude I called them and your right.....I found some info though....I asked about SW and TF. It seems those two lines are the same price as the rest of the country.......that GI Joe is the only product that is $3 higher than the rest of the country......I talked to a store supervisor at your store and she agreed something was wrong when I told her the story and what the prices were at the rest of the Targets.......she asked me to call corporate and she is doing the same.........I called them and they are looking into it and said they would call me back.......they were puzzled why someone in TN was worried about the price in another state and I said because I think its price gouging when other lines are the same price and this one line that is a hot seller has been marked up.
This pisses me off though that they are doing it....but I reported it and i think you should do the same........

Im still calling BS on this though.......I talked to two Store Supervisors
at both Targets here in Knox Tn.....and they both said this is Impossible. They both said that prices are set at Corporate and there is no way one Target is more than the others........the only price difference that could be different at different stores is Clearance....because Clearance is set at store itself. She also said take the item to the front and have it rung up and that it will be a different show a different price. Not saying you are lying but coming from the horses mouth this isnt possible......... Generally things are priced across the board, but certain regions do cost more than others... They shouldn't be 9.99, but they could be a different price. |

A local Kroger store that was carrying the new line apparently set them to a closeout price of $4.66, unfortunately I did not see this until today. Of course they did not have any left. They did still have 4 comic packs including the horrendous Duke/CC pack. Now they are selling VvV figures for $2.99 while Family Dollar stores still have them for $2.00.

Regional differences do make prices different no matter what they told you. One Target by me is 10 cents more on most major items than the other Targets because it's in a slightly different area. Not far away, but enough to be a regional difference.
Generally things are priced across the board, but certain regions do cost more than others... They shouldn't be 9.99, but they could be a different price. I worked in retail many many years and Regional mark ups will be shown in the ENTIRE STORE...... Not only did I check Toys but Cat Food......Chairs......DVDS.....TVS.......Zunes.... ....Mouses......Key Boards......Pens........Halloween costumes..........they are all the same price......... I went in with proof before i called.........GI Joe Single Cards are the only so called regional price increase..... Last edited by spacemonkeymafia; 10-03-2008 at 03:11 PM.. |

Then if they are doing that then other lines should be higher.....SW is the same price.....TF.....Ben 10.....Hell even Cat food.........they are price gouging one line that happens to be a hot seller.........Corporate called back and said they have an investigation going on about......I can a 10 cent increase and maybe even 50 cents but when you are $3 and some change higher but your other products are the same price then something is up.........if its a regional thing then other products will show a mark up.........
