[quote name='Muthafodder']Kudos to anyone that can get that XBOX for $99.97.
I found a store that showed them in stock online and when called they stated they had it showing in their system. They looked in the back and couldn't fnd them. I'm sure it's easy to assume they lied...but I don't feel they did.
I was gonna buy it and pick it up later in the week on business...oh well.
Would have been a first time XBOX owner
I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I guess if it still shows in stock later in the week, I'll try again in person.
EDIT - I called back after reading above that the In Stock items are accurate and asked for the MoD, he stated he walked with the sales person to check for their existence and they were not found. He also stated that some items are not allowed to be sold under a certain price and are often held to be returned and that someone likely didn't process the return. I dunno. I left my name and number in the off chance one appears.[/QUOTE]
It shows one of these in stock at my local Sears for the same price, so I rushed over to check on it. The same girl that's there every time I go was working in Electronics, so I struck up a conversation and mentioned the 360. We couldn't find it in the case so she went into the back to check on it and couldn't find it there either. She was curious what made me think they had it, so I showed her on google shopping and she was amazed at the price but had no clue how to further look for it.
I want to trust that it was genuinely not there, but as others have said it's usually accurate when it says "In Stock" so now it's hard not to come up with a million conspiracy theories about employees hiding it for themselves. Argh!
Would have been my first Xbox too.
