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. She then called the Corporate office on speaker phone and they vouched that no GI JOES are anywhere close to being $10.......She then started listing names of cities where it was still $7.99 and listed stores where it was $6.84........ The lady on the phone said all targets should be $6.84 with in a few weeks...... They then wanted to know what Target i was Talking about....I told them I only knew it was in Florida.....and told them how i got the info........ They as I do think its a typo and that you might be happier if you take it to the front or take it to a price checker.......... Not saying you are lying but coming from the horses mouth this isnt possible......... |

Just spoke to Guest Services, asked to speak to a manager and I was told that this item is a clearance item. I then told them that these figures are brand new items. Target Stores: Store Information 5350 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota - (941) 379-6660 Updated. I did a quick lunch run since this location is a stones throw from my work. Ran in and did a scan of the product and in fact is does scan as 9.89.. All they have are 2 of the Duke with Jet packs and 2 of the Wild Bill Figures. Its not that big of a deal, It just seems that Wal-Mart seems to be more on the ball with restocking product than Target.

sometimes, they don't update their prices. especially older stickers, for us who are aware of any changes will notice that. but that depends on some targets. they either mark down or mark up on their own, that's what i notice.

If those other prices show up at my Target, I think I'll have to hold my PoL at BBTS for some DVD packs and comic packs. I'll check it out this weekend.

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........ |

Be sure to price scan them, there stickers sometimes do not get updated and or wrong. I got 2 CPs for 8 dollars 4 days after their sale last week eended. Just used the price check thingy and it said 8.00 and the peg stated $10.99.
