Circuit City doesn't seem to call to check stock or sometimes even verify prices. Many a time I just verbally confronted the managers that CUSA, BB or Fry's has a certain item for however much, and they just went ahead and did it in the computers. Most of the time they don't even ask for printed proof (I would always have something in my hands just in case it doesn't go through).

my circuitcity always calls

Suggestion if your Best Buy is out of the 9500 Pro or the 9700 Pro, get them to print out a sheet with the model number on it and their price (it was changed on 7/17/03 by what I saw yesterday).

Any chance you can provide a scan of this?

Thanks in advance,

Just had to pipe in here since I rarely see fellow New Mexico natives (or anywhere close for that matter, like El Paso) on the boards. I am from Artesia, NM but rarely go over the mountains to get to Las Cruces.

Just to brag for a second, and hopefully give a YMMV deal to those of you in the right area:

I just got the 9700 Pro for $234.99 after tax at Circuit City by pricematching to BB's $229.00 clearance price. If you call a local Best Buy and get a helpful guy to look up inventory in other BBs for you, you can *generally* find that there's one or two left in stock in your 50-mile radius. Get him/her to reserve the item, and then hike over to Circuit City and PM.

CC Price = $300
BB Price = $230
CC 110% PM = -$7
Total + Tax = $235!

YMMV... although, if you're in the Boston, MA area, I can tell you for sure that there's a 9700 Pro @ $229 in the Watertown store. It's the one I used for my PM. Good luck!
